This is no good. Nothing good will come from this. This is PC Wanker, Simpism, #MeTooOverKill.
“Intrusive staring of a sexual nature is sexual harassment and is not tolerated.”
Who are the arbiters that determine whether a "look" is a glance, a leer, flirting, maybe the person is not even actually looking at the person in question, or is but it's slightly askance, glowering, or off to the side, over her head, trying to make eye contact with someone behind her. Maybe the person is drunk, or in a minor trance, staring off into space, contemplating something important to them, totally unaware that in their field of vision there is a woman, or they might be...blind.
Where does this misguided notion come from that we, human beings, women and men, somehow have the right to go through life being unoffended by other human beings. Clothing, something printed on a T-shirt or a hat, is absolutely assured to offend someone, somewhere. Music overheard from a sidewalk, a car, a concert, a church, the Opera, someone humming a tune, or whistling, is guaranteed to offend someone, somewhere. Taking cell pics, someone taking a selfie, but way off in the background is another person, who loses their mind wondering if their image was captured in the photo. Politics, fashion, perfume, Television programming, the color you paint your home, the color of your car, the way someone walks, the way someone laughs or talks...100% guaranteed to piss off someone, somewhere.
My question to the proponents of this is...what sort of world are you trying to create? What is the ultimate and final objective here? Create laws that say that no male may look at, talk to, or even be near a female? You know who has laws like that? Hardcore religious fundamentalists like the Taliban. Complete and total separation of the sexes. I mean, to truly enact a system where this would work, to avoid any remote possible confusion, would require a draconian law where males and females are never, ever, ever, in the same room together.
My main point here Ladies and Gentlemannsss, is a few uptight women, do *not* speak for me or the bulk of women everywhere.
Just because they possess a loud "bullhorn" and throw massive conniption fits, doing all the #Hashtaggy "You go girlfriend Sister, Speak Your Truth, Band Together, Rise up Anti-Sex Misandrist Femininst" does not mean they are right, correct, or have the support of the majority of other women. We are unique. We are not homogeneous. There is no one size fits all. If I walk past a bar or a construction site and no guys whistle or catcall me...I'll think I "lost it" and turn right around and walk past again thinking/saying..."Okay, lets try this again boys".
Obviously I'm not talking about groping, assault, rape, molestation or anything of that nature. And neither are they. They are talking about "looking" at a female...which means they've crossed the chasm from responsible advocacy for women that are actual victims of crimes, to being nutty insane fucking fruitcakes. :)
