It's okay to find people sexy, but it's not okay to act like that's the reason they exist. -yt

Nice. I never understood it when I said a woman was sexy they somehow heard 'you're a sex object, and nothing more'. Why can't they hear what I mean; 'on top of being the kind of human being you are, you are also sexy'?
That said, I've never 'catcalled' anyone. That always seemed like self defeating behavior to me, not a way to get a date.

because they're inundated with dudes calling them sexy as if they are a sex object. being able to differentiate between you saying someone is sexy but also meaning they're a rad human and you saying someone is sexy but just meaning you wanna fuck them is pretty much impossible if they don't know you. generally speaking calling someone sexy should be reserved until after you've established that you're not a dickhead.

I'm a straight (and married) dude, but let me pay this guy some complements:

1) I love the shirt, bro.
2) Also dig your hair that the shirt alludes to, and your style in general (at least, as I interpret from this brief video).
3) Most importantly, nice video and nice explanation of your stance on the topic -- which I agree with.

Nice sift!

I'd just like to say that this does go both ways though..

I know a couple of different guys with Asperger's and some other kinds of developmental issues from where i go swimming, and several times in the past i've seen a female react towards those guys like they've been weird or creepy when all they did was say "Hello" like i've seen them do a hundred times before to all types of people. I've even met women there who have spoken to me, been quite happy and talkative, what-have-you, even flirty, and then either said to me "some weird creepy guy <one of my friends> was trying to talk to me in the jacuzzi", or they might give me an "oh my god" look if one of them says hello to her. Body language, facial expression, how they talk all changes when they address them... I feel my skin crawl when i come across someone like that.

I only say this because i think that if we all try to be nicer and kinder to everyone, to be happy and interested in people, we can not only solve the issues raised by the video and in your comment, but also the ones raised in my comment, the ones not even mentioned here, like racism, facism and homophobia.

I think we need feminism, masculism, the LGBT, NAACP and god knows what else to all come together and realise that everyone is tackling the same problem which simply manifests itself in different proportions to different peoples - we're all here for one single life-time, so if we spend it being nicer and friendlier and more courteous and generous we can make life much more enjoyable all round, and no one will have to worry about cat-calling, bitchiness, homophobia or racism.
