The fact that just about everyone in this thread disagrees with you does not exactly reflect positively on your argument

There were a lot of people who disagreed with me about 14 year olds being unable to consent to sex with adults, too. That doesn't make me wrong.

Unasked for commentary on how a woman looks is unnecessary and presumptuous. Who gives a fuck what any individual thinks about how THIS woman should present herself? The only thing that matters is what SHE wants to look like.

Misogyny and sexism is on the rise again and this kind of casual sexism goes hand in hand with it.

Whatever, I can tell I'm at a dead end with trying to get through to you. This is a Lemmy post, not your first year gender studies class... it's really not that deep. Maybe get over yourself and touch some grass.

Sexism isn’t that deep coming from someone comfortable enough to publicly judge women’s appearances doesn’t ring true, sorry not sorry.
