Women should not have to stay sequestered in their own homes because some men are inconsiderate assholes.
How would you feel if you were at a convention populated mostly by 7' tall gay weight lifters, and one of them shouted "Hey, nice ass!" at you? I bet you'd feel pretty damn uncomfortable. That's pretty much how it feels to be a woman, not just at these conventions, but in the world at large.
Note: I am a 6'1 175 pound male. It's hard for me to conceive of what it's like to be a woman who is 5'2" and 120 pounds... that's why the 7' tall gay weightlifter analogy... it's the only translation that works in my head. Seriously, think about it. They're way bigger than you, way stronger than you, they think you have a tasty ass (or not, but for some reason they feel the need to sexualize you), and you definitely are not interested in them... and they're all around you all the time.
Also note: I'm not actually trying to say real gay people want your ass. They probably don't.
- tapatio 14y agoFunny you bring up that analogy. Actually, I have been hit on by gay guys. To be honest, I find it pretty funny. My girlfriend laughs about it too as she has seen it happen to me at the supermarket. BTW, you can generalize your statement to "people should not have to stay sequestered in their own homes because some people are inconsiderate assholes or cunts." I agree with that statement. I never said a person should stay home. I just said they should leave the area where the sexist jokes/comment are being said.
