Liberals want to stop men from checking out women
The Daily Caller ^ | 12/8/2013 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 12/09/2013 3:17:48 AM PST by markomalley

In the progressive future, men will not be able to look at women’s bodies because that is a terrible thing to do — and science says so.

Researchers have offered a definitive report into the science of the male “objectifying gaze” in the December 2013 volume of “Sex Roles: A Journal of Research” (Volume 69, Issue 11-12, pp 557-570).

“Although objectification theory suggests that women frequently experience the objectifying gaze with many adverse consequences, there is scant research examining the nature and causes of the objectifying gaze for perceivers. The main purpose of this work was to examine the objectifying gaze toward women via eye tracking technology,” according to the abstract of “My Eyes Are Up Here: The Nature of the Objectifying Gaze Toward Women” by Sarah J. Gervais, Arianne M. Holland, and Michael D. Dodd.

“Consistent with our main hypothesis, we found that participants focused on women’s chests and waists more and faces less when they were appearance-focused (vs. personality-focused). Moreover, we found that this effect was particularly pronounced for women with high (vs. average and low) ideal body shapes in line with hypotheses,” according to the report.

This is the kind of study MSNBC commentators can hold up when they’re talking about “rape culture.” Because men are just all Bashar al-Assad and sex is their chemical weapon. Fifty-one percent of the U.S. population is a victimized group now. Don’t you know? Women are like Indians now. You can’t give them a once-over, a polite grin, and be on your way. You can’t notice the fruits of their several-hour morning project of preparing themselves to be looked at. Pretty soon, looking at a woman’s chest will legally be a “hate” crime instead of a love crime.

It’s already started. There was the Massachusetts secretary who sued her boss for staring at her breasts. There was the social media uproar when two tech conference presenters in San Francisco made a joke presentation for an app based on men’s desire to stare at breasts.

This is what the progressives exist to do. They take away our activities. If it’s an activity and it’s kind of fun or pleasurable, the progressives are going to take it away.

That’s the very basis of their personality type. They’re the regulators. The hall monitors.

Maybe catching a side glance of some cleavage on the subway isn’t for you. Fine. But for those of us who enjoy that, it’s one more thing that we’re allowed to do in this country. I’m not big on skiing, but if I see somebody walking down the street with some skis I’m cool with that. Why ban things that you might want to try sometime?

I’m not saying looking at tits is any kind of noble pursuit. But it’s one more freedom. It’s one more thing that has been allowed in this country since the time of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. One more thing that we’re not going to be allowed to do in the progressive future.

And you know what else? A lot of women like it.

Ladies, how are you going to feel when the progressives prohibit men from paying you a compliment on your walk home from the bar? You know there’s always one friend of yours who waited all night for that.

And if you happen to be a woman who isn’t employed by the Democratic National Committee or the New York Times, maybe you’re really not all that offended by these sorts of things. Because you realize that when progressives ban things, they don’t just prohibit activities: they set a new rule that goes out through the culture that must be obeyed.

And the new rule affects everyone. From the guy who now has to cover his face so as not to look at a hot girl’s tits, to the girl whose tits can no longer be looked at, to the friend of the girl who could have laughed when it happened, to the bar owner standing outside who could have lured them both in for a drink, to the husband’s small business partner who knows the story of how they met and smirks about it over dinner, to the daughter at their 30th anniversary party who decided that she just wanted to be a full-time mom and raise her kids Christian and send them to private school and she was proud of her decisions in life.

This is why conservatives will own the future of this country, and progressive leadership will fall by the wayside. Americans in nursing homes don’t like their activities being taken away. But that nurse who comes in Tuesdays for hip rehabilitation? She’s just fine.

...and the liberals will make it law - and they will call it, Eunuch Enforcement and Female Protection Act...and every male will be pretty boys!

Yeah - everyday it's something different that is spewing from their cancerous mouths and feeble little minds...but we can't ignore them...look at the ACA for example! You would have thought???????

And yes, women check out men because it too is human (read: mammal) nature. Women are looking for a fit & feral male — the “bad boy” — with whom they can mate and produce strong offspring capable of survival in a competitive environment. Women desire men with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and in particular muscular buttocks for strong thrusting action. Survival of the fittest, and limp-wristed libs are unfit.

That explains O'Bastard's appeal.

Helen Thomas was quite attractive when younger.

Just pass a law and that’ll do it. If only the Church knew this!

Why,....we could ban murder, pervertedness, adultery, theft, racism, lying.....OH MY, what a beautiful world!

What we should ban is the research grant that wastes taxpayers money - and the ones that wastes private peoples’ money too!

Congress is great at destroying jobs - and wasting money by creating grant jobs....

Here’s what I don’t get though. It has been scientifically deduced that the male human is attracted to high waist/hip ratio, etc. because that signals fertility (propensity to bear healthy children) when in fact that’s not true. I have known very fertile women who don’t fit that mold, as we all have, one is an Aunt who was very short and very slim with narrow pelvis and small breasts but had 8 healthy children.

As for the male gaze, never really gave it a second thought when it used to happen (maybe cause I’ve been married my whole adult life ugh) but now that I’ve passed 40 I’ll admit I notice its absence and it’s a bit sad because it’s like all of a sudden you’re invisible.

I’m a 61 year old woman and I’ve been known to “check out” a few men. It’s normal. Homosexuality is not.

Sounds like a step towards Sharia law. First I’m not buying in and second I’ll look as long as my eyes still work. I have no doubt women will do the same because it is “natural”.
