Vicky Mochama at metro: men don't see women as people.......

Post Reply New Topic

f*****g actor realizes maybe he has some mistaken ideas about women, and having daughters opened his mind. Cheesy as hell but I don't see why people are offended about it, this is his experience with confronting ideas he had of women/girls vs. what he learned with having daughters, I don't see the big deal. Oh actor with some stereotypical views of women challenges said views after having girls of his own...how f*****g terrible? OMG I don't get it. Isn't it a good thing if this guy rejected some pre-determined views to see his daughters and individual people than potential sex objects for money.

Unlike Trump who sexually objectified his daughter to some radio show saying something like 'if she wasn't my daughter I'd totally be into her'

I was mostly expressing irony. I think I'm just documenting that I've been told, on a medical level, that I'm supposed to be clueless on these sorts of things. I've seen less and less ground for believing that in examining my own awareness and less and less in how people treat one another even to justify my buying it much anymore.

From the second paragraph the article gets unhinged. It starts with something that's really a truism, that people intellectually worry about things or disapprove of them until someone they deeply care about is in the firing line and then they worry much more viscerally. It's kind of like how while women likely want to see a cure to prostate cancer they probably don't, phisiologically or literally, lose sleep over it unless a father or brother has it. That's no suggestion that the men and their lives are credit card dispensers or coat racks, its because women are human too and don't have the neural capacity to worry themselves dead over everything that anyone's going through or could go through in the future.

Human biology dictates that there are only so many things we can pull to the forefront to worry about, our subconscious filters constantly triage against loading us down with encumberments over and above what we immediately need to tend to - men and women both. That's either happened by observation and reaction at deeper biological levels or it's happened by natural selection. Regardless there are hundreds if not thousands of things that could demand our deepest concern and, the apes that we are, we don't have the capacity to be running those through our nervous systems day in and day out regardless of who's moral compass it would impress. People who don't have a grip on things like that, male or female, deeply worry me because they have a knack for leading the world around them to panic - particularly panic without solutions.
