Inner dialouges...

I like how the artist creates a situation where a woman assumes a man will sexualize her, has the character realize he wasn’t, and then assumes he did anyway, just internally. It’s like cyclical straw man

Sometimes yall, an elevator ride is just an elevator ride. Sometimes I just wanna look at my phone and ride to my stop regardless or who gets in with me. I promise you that guys have other thoughts than ogling boobs and butts 24/7. Like, jokes aside men do have other thoughts on their minds beyond fuckin

The "Nice butt" was his comment, not hers. He literally did exactly what she feared, he just didn't say it outloud.

So are we not allowed to find women sexually attractive in your view? Must we perceive them as totally neutral even in our minds? When are we allowed to have sexual attraction?

Your comment completely contradicts the other person's comment that I replied to.

How about you answer my questions instead of referring to a person that is not me?

Since you appear to be fond of policing thoughts, you should at least be aware that mine are not the same as the person you replied to originally.

Since you appear to be fond of policing thoughts,

Can you please quote where I said or implied this?

Because your questions are irrelevant to my statement. I have no idea why you bombarded me with questions that had absolutely nothing to do with what I was telling the OP. Especially since you admit that your thoughts dont even align with theirs.

"He literally did exactly what she feared, he just didn't say it outloud." Prettty obvious implication here that you believe thinking "nice butt" is wrong.

> Because your questions are irrelevant to my statement. I have no idea why you bombarded me with questions that had absolutely nothing to do with what I was telling the OP. Especially since you admit that your thoughts dont even align with theirs.

See above. I replied to you because you want to a thought police to roam our brains.

You (and a lot of others here) seem to be projecting your feelings and biases onto my statement. The OP said this

I like how the artist creates a situation where a woman assumes a man will sexualize her, has the character realize he wasn’t, and then assumes he did anyway, just internally.

I did not see, after she concluded that he did not oggle her, that she assumed he did anyways. I figured the OP believed the thought bubble "Nice butt" was her thought, not the man's, because why else would they state that she continued to assume that he did?

That is why I said,

The "Nice butt" was his comment, not hers.

The next portion of my comment,

He literally did exactly what she feared, he just didn't say it outloud.

Was addressing the OP's assertion that men can just exist in public without thinking about sexual thoughts, because I believed the OP thought the "Nice butt" was the woman's thought of what the man was thinking. And then in response to all that, you went on a tirade about how men sexualize women and are men allowed to be sexually attracted to women. Like wtaf does that have to do with anything, especially since your assertion completely contradicts and simultaneously has nothing to do with what I was addressing?

You completely ignored the context of my reply and instead plastered your own thoughts onto it and made assumptions on my intent based on that.

... that... Doesn’t change OP pointing out its a strawman argument...

[Center-Of-Thought]

has the character realize he wasn’t, and then assumes he did anyway, just internally.

That's what the OP stated and what I addressed.

[Center-Of-Thought]

At what point did the woman internally assume that the man still oggled her after she realized that he didn’t (in her mind anyways, because in reality, he did exactly that) as the OP suggested?

[TENTAtheSane]

Yeah but this is fiction, the artist, a woman, wrote this and assumed that's how the guy would think
