Try 5 minutes in blackpill hell and see if you can take it.
I think there is a double standard here. I get several sexual harassing follow attempts a day on Instagram and other platforms from (seemingly) women who probably want me to watch their OnlyFans or something. As a guy I'm supposed to treat this as if it was just spam and not sexual harassment, which it is.
Men are culturally expected to be "ready all the time" and not have actual sexual autonomy either.
- natpalmer1776 9mo agoI have never personally framed these unsolicited advertisements as a form of sexual harassment, rather as a man I’m expected to say no without commenting on the nature of the women making these unwanted advances and act as if nothing happened. I’m going to start framing it this way going forward, because honestly it has a large number of parallels with casual sexual harrasment.
- jfengel 9mo agoI concur that it's sexual harassment, but note that in a lot of cases, the person behind the account is not the woman depicted. It is a man using pictures stolen from elsewhere.
- natpalmer1776 9mo agoCounter-note, the comments I personally would make on the nature of the individual applies equally well to all genders and I only have to censor my responses because it is considered misogynistic by many of my friends because “if there was no demand there would be no market” and the attempt to empathize / normalize / destigmatize with women who engage in sex work. The whole conversation is pretty complex, with arguments that are valid in both directions. Regardless, I wish people would stop sending me unsolicited erotic images.
