Since I've been called a sexist

... for posting a few pictures of a Japanese girl and a Honda S660. I will keep it equal.

I don’t know, but I don’t feel objectified at all. I only feel that I should eat less junk food, and exercise more, but I already knew that.

When are girls going to understand that boys like looking at girls. It isn’t sexist. You can’t teach my hormones any different.

Because the drama train is currently undertaking a can’t-stop-won’t-stop tour across the nation and the end of it involves crashing the train into the ocean and bringing as many people down with it as possible.

You know, as the drama train usually does.

I don’t usually take up challenges like this, but calling me a sexist is like calling Akio Toyoda, a bean counter.

Normally I try to distance myself from these debates, but right now Im feeling compelled to share my thoughts on part of this.

This whole sexism, NSFW, and objectification debate is often unfairly unbalanced. Its a very narrow two way street, that seems to have a soft shoulder on one side, and a slippery slope on the other.

Having a female significant other (Im specifically mentioning gender properly), as well as three sisters, no, I dont particularly find it simple to support the idea of swimsuit models, or booth babes or massive NFSW posts. I have a lot of respect for the women in my life, and its with that respect that I make sure I defend them as I can.

Now, women have been subject to expectation of body image, demeanor and much more for much longer than men have. It causes much more resentment of when NSFW or similar topics come up. Women have a larger pressure to fit that image, and its simply not the case for everyone. The problem is that the posts and images reinforce a bad reminder for many, and thats where the issues come to light. Its not something that can be easily understood without being subject to it yourself.

Am I going to disagree that I am personally attracted to females (again, gender), and while I dont initially view my own actions as disrespectful, I have to remember that this topic isnt any less delicate than driving a Mustang into a Mopar show. It just isnt going to sit well with everyone. Tagging NSFW is one way that yes, you can give that warning, the content may not be favorable to everyone, but that doesnt change what the content itself is.

Now, am I the content police and the one to say whats right or wrong? No. Ive posted plenty of things myself that havent been favorable to everyone, and Im not shy about having unpopular opinions. But its with that said that I try to make sure if nothing else, I am respectful about it.

We can agree to disagree, but we should just be respectful and understand that the offense to other people may take from it is not the content itself, but a deeper issue behind it that society still fails to address today.

Nah, don’t care. It’s been done before, and the reactions were EWWWW GROSS DUDES WTF WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT.

But now it’s cool because you get to “neener-neener” at the meanie feminists and stir shit. Congrats.

Not seeing an option to flag this for shit-stirring, does this comment count?

I take offense that posting pictures of fully clothed women makes it okay to call OP a sexist. In fact I saw nothing NSFW about that post. It was weird, but not inappropriate.

Im not supporting or crucifying anyone over anything, merely stating what I can about the bigger picture.

Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to smell the shit you’re stirring. Did you actually see anyone saying that the only issue with your last post was “not enough dudes?” Like how did you think this was the solution?

“Well gee, clearly any evidence of my sexist actions will be washed away by posting scantily clad DUDES this time. They’ll be so busy being attracted to the mens that they’ll totally forgive and forget!”

Newsflash: some of us are attracted to women, too. Any perceived lack of fairness in distribution of eyecandy wasn’t the issue there.

I have much better things to do with my evening, I’ll let the mods flush this shit of a post as they see fit.

Yes, there isn’t.

But I don’t know man, when you’re doing something right, and you go in arguments and debates, sometimes with people you know in real life, not just online. And when you post something as harmless as I did, and people from your own team throw shit at you, you feel like you can’t just say “screw it, it’s not worth it”, and keep moving.

Clothing or lack thereof has little to do with intent or the message sent. The initial post was hella creeptastic.

Personally, I think this is a case of the letter of the law vs the spirit of the law. What usually happens is, a person skirts the legality of an issue for a period, then, eventually justice is served.

I’m just waiting for people to cross the line and get banhammered.

Well, apparently the girl was the problem with my last post, as you can clearly see, and her toy, and her syringe and probably the way wind blew that day and the way the stars aligned. Now you tell me that she, or the lack of guys, wasn’t the issue. Color me confused.

And you still didn’t told me when I said “EW, DUDES, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? “ or something similar. You just assumed I might have said it. You have stereotyped me, based on what other guys here have said. How can you be so mean and prejudicial?

See how easy is to overreact and accuse people of something they didn’t do or intend to do?

Look, I know know that being a woman is not easy. Besides that biological jihad that happens every month, you have to deal with giving birth, navigating your way through a billion beauty things, society’s expectations and various chauvinistic assholes. But you know me for a long time, you know how I am. Sure, you may say I’m a bit strange but you know that I’m not sexist, quite the opposite. And being called so, just because of a few pictures, that apparently aren’t the problem, is worse than being called a liberal Obamatard, by some teabagger on Twitter or YouTube.

This is still up? Smdh. Anyway. Dude, I don’t recall having an issue with you before and nothing personal, but here’s the thing: if you’re truly interested in being an ally, this is just not how you do it. How you claim to vote doesn’t mean you get a free pass, and we’d be hypocrites if it did.

Also, being called out for sexism isn’t the end of the effing world. Here, read up on white fragility . Sound familiar?

Ex. I am white, and was raised as a shitty redneck child with casual slurs thrown around willy-nilly. Some I never used, some I didn’t realize were problematic. As late as last summer I was casually dropping “riceburner.” Someone here said “hey can you not, that’s racist.” I didn’t make a thread mocking them, telling them it wasn’t a big deal because Asians face much bigger issues, and bemoaning that such an accusation could ever be made against me because I voted for Obama or some shit. I was like “shit you’re right, I never realized that before. I’m sorry, and I won’t do it again.” Fin. Not so hard.

Don’t know how I missed all of this, but as one of the bigger NSFW posters here I just keep my shit to Tumblr now. Its not worth. Plus being all the people the follow you on there literally just want to see the kinds of stuff you post aka “follow”.
