"you Hebos" in reply to me?

In what way are the various and inconsistent ages of majority not arbitrary?

That is an article that spends ten paragraphs at *best* confusing harassment with looking. A picture of someone (who wanted that picture taken, and wanted it to be sexy) is not in any way supporting "male gaze", unless you're about to claim that such a picture's very existence somehow pushes an expectation on to…

It's not wrong by itself in a vacuum

Also, upon further reflection I realized I'd failed to reiterate my previous point: That article is not describing "male gaze", but is in fact describing "heterosexual male, bisexual anybody, homosexual female gaze".

My point is that the idea of "male gaze" is either a fantasy, or not nearly as prevalent as you make it out to be, and it's one that denies women the right to be ogled if they so choose, as well as denying the existence of more than just heterosexual pairings in this universe.

I love how we've gone from talking about "people at large" to specific personal attacks towards me. Guess you just can't prove your point with logic then?

Another amazing human trait is our ability to communicate through boy language and adapt ourselves to social cues

Ok, it's become pretty clear that you're arguing about something that isn't even happening.

She has every right to feel however she wants to about it. She's got no right to tell me what I can and can not do within my own brain.

Go out of your way to check out her ass, her legs, her tits is a shitty thing to do because it makes that person nothing more than an object on display for your enjoyment.

What, LOOKING at people makes people a "shitty human being"? Seriously? I'm sensing a complete lack of rationality. What's next, smell?

Much like how you don't have the right to be protected from being offended, you don't have the right to being protected from being looked at. Protected from being touched? Absolutely. But being looked at does not infringe on your rights in any way, and anyone who bases their entire world paradigm on the concept of…

So... the only time "male gaze" isn't an issue is when men around the globe gouge out their own eyes? Because it sounds to me like you're saying that men contribute to male gaze, and any female deciding to exert her sexuality is ALSO contributing to male gaze.

Ok, yeah, I read 'more' and you said less. Huh. Weird. Still, certain numbers aren't heavier than other numbers, and averages are averages. You want academics? What about the Kinsey institute? Is that academic enough for you? A different survey by them put the average right below or above 17, depending on the gender.…

Ok, so I Googled this "Male Gaze" thing, and it talks about unwanted sexual attention.

Aaaaaaand... how is any of that relevant, or how does any of it invalidate my point? Having a vagina does not make women a weaker, more innocent group than men, and having a penis doesn't make my opinions any less valid.

The average age is tricky, since a kid who has sex at 13 will skew the overall number

Ok. I fail to see how sexualizing someone (remotely, blindly, as in "the girl has no idea it's going on," or "The girl at this point in time is 22 because the picture is three years old, AND she has no idea it's going on") is "robbing" the girl of anything.
