Fair enough my friend. I am mostly concerned with being raped or molested by intact men but I agree with hating the constant objectification as well. Especially now that I have a daughter.

I've also been in the presence of men in veterans' hospitals, rehab facilities, senior centers and nursing homes who were entirely incapable of committing rape or assault coz they'd had their legs amputated or they were elderly, frail, addled, in wheelchairs, had suffered strokes and so on... Yet these men nonetheless still looked at girls & women in leering, lascivious ways.

Moreover, I've been in lots of situations where all the males present were gay yet they still showed prurient interests in - and inappropriate, misogynistic & dehumanizing attitudes towards - female people and our bodies.

It really does suck and you don't realize how much you endure over a lifetime. Thanks for the responses.
