As is telling some people they are ugly, but it’s rarely deemed necessary.

Ha, I think it’s unfair that women who wear tops where the plunging neckline goes down below the navel (you know, you’ve seen it on TV panel shows often enough) complain that men should only compliment them on their brains and burst into tears of anger whenever a man says “you look nice”.

100% agree.

If i like the appearance of a woman in what she’s wearing , i will look at her.

I may look at her two or three times. I mean no harm by this. I like her appearance, and would prefer to look at her over other things in view.

I don’t expect to be berated for that.

assuming that someone is wearing clothing for the pleasure of others is bullshit.. women wear stuff because it’s comfortable, or it make HER feel good, or it gives her confidence or because she likes it.. turning that into a thing because it shows breasts and making assumptions that those breasts are on display for men to comment on is what’s bullshit.. making comment on her appearance over her intelligence is what’s bullshit.. the fact that men think that looking nice is somehow to lure them in, to get them to comment is what’s bullshit… men commenting at inappropriate moments or because that’s all they can acknowledge about a woman is what’s bullshit

I like women. I like nice-looking women , as a sub-set of that grouping.

If women wear clothes that make them feel good, or give them confidence, i can dig that.

If what they wear emphasises their femininity, physique, carriage, whatever, i can appreciate that, too.

By accident of birth, i’m male. I like to look at women. I like to talk to women. I like to be with women.

I don’t make lewd comments. My family and my good friends taught me better. I don’t rate women (or men) solely, or even primarily, on their appearance. I like to know more about people, female and male. I’ve seen some absolutely stunning-looking ladies who i really did not want to be around, once i knew more about them.

But, looks, including dress, are always going to be a point of interest, at least initially.

And a tiny bit because of what two lady friends from back in my twenties threatened to do to me if they ever heard i was ‘being a fucking douche about it’.

Women are as diverse as men and dress for many different reason, some of which is to attract a mate, the problem is they also attract the gaze of men the women are not interested in attracting. What women really want is a device that will only make them appealing to those they want, unfortunately that is not going to happen. Just be happy that some people find you attractive or at least interesting.

so are we judging people for looking at other people now, or where’s it at, are we back to the good old days when a kid could be bashed for looking, what you looking at, you looking at us, you wa n’a start something

You. Have. Not. Been. Paying. Attention.

I think I have, it is not dissimilar to the women who think they should be able to walk down dark streets and through unlighted parks and be totally safe. Well there are a lot of people out there just waiting for you to try. People get attacked sometimes killed by people unknown to them everyday and some of those people are men too. It is an unsafe world and you would be wise to accept the fact and stop whining that you have the right, well you do have the right already, you would be silly to exercise it as would most men too. It is the way things are as do men look at women and visa versa.

I think you need to go back and read your comment that I responded to. Why are you making assumptions about the reasons women dress the way they do? Why are you making assumptions about what women want or whose gaze they are trying to attract? Why are you making assumptions that women even have a problem with attracting the gaze of some and not others?

And before you reply, please refrain from telling any women to “Just be happy that…”, as it makes it obvious that you haven’t yet stepped out of the 1970’s, where women were conditioned to be.

Also, we agree that women should be able to walk down dark streets and through unlighted parks and be totally safe from other humans. People get attacked sometimes killed by people unknown to them everyday and some of those people are men but even so we agree that it is bullshit to simply accept that it has to be that way. You’d hope that law exists for various reasons that include addressing such issues.

Below is the statement you find so offensive:

>>Women are as diverse as men and dress for many different reason, some of which is to attract a mate, the problem is they also attract the gaze of men the women are not interested in attracting. What women really want is a device that will only make them appealing to those they want, unfortunately that is not going to happen.

So are you saying women are not as diverse as men?
Never present themselves in the best possible light to attract a mate?
Never attract the gaze of people they do not wish they had?
Never wish they could stop attracting the gaze of those they are not interested in favour of those they are interested?
Do you have a problem with the above? Because then you are not being honest or realistic! Sorry if I made an assumption there!

I did not speak for anyone else, as you had. I clearly have a problem with your assumptions about women’s motives and what they actually take issue with. Remember you stated that:

“What women really want is a device that will only make them appealing to those they want, unfortunately that is not going to happen. Just be happy that some people find you attractive or at least interesting.”

Below is the statement you find so offensive:

>>Women are as diverse as men and dress for many different reason, some of which is to attract a mate, the problem is they also attract the gaze of men the women are not interested in attracting. What women really want is a device that will only make them appealing to those they want, unfortunately that is not going to happen.

I blame Nature.

Being ‘a man’, any explanation that i offer is automatically, and by definition, ‘mansplaining’.

This could be rectified, but my health fund declines to cover the necessary surgery.

Seems we have gone full-circle with you again listing your assumptions. I have no idea why a woman might dress the way that she does, but I put it to you that she likely does not have an issue with attracting anyone’s gaze. What she has an issue with is the idiotic reaction from some men that swiftly follows. And me? I’m still astounded that you top off your assumptions with the ever predictable “Just be happy that…”.

I think I have, it is not dissimilar to the women who think they should be able to walk down dark streets and through unlighted parks and be totally safe. Well there are a lot of people out there just waiting for you to try. People get attacked sometimes killed by people unknown to them everyday and some of those people are men too. It is an unsafe world and you would be wise to accept the fact and stop whining that you have the right, well you do have the right already, you would be silly to exercise it as would most men too. It is the way things are as do men look at women and visa versa.

So Speedy, do you think women should walk down dark streets and through unlighted parks? Sounds crazy to me, but you might like the idea. And please note I did not state in that post or any other that (“I’m not racist but..).
Do you think women are not as diverse as men and don’t dress for many different reasons?

Or from the structural engineer’s perspective, Galileo said a bunch of stuff that was wrong, Euler fixed it up, then Timoshenko messed it all up again.

Don’t blame Timoshenko !
Blame the people who carried out the tests that refuted Timoshenk’s calculations.

Timoshenko is the best source I know for thin shell and panel buckling. Extremely useful.

Well I was blaming him in the same sense that they were blaming Einstein, so it’s not that bad.

April 2020 – when Russia started vaccinations of a small scale
Mar 2020 – when the Oxford/Astrazenic development was complete.

Apart from that, they haven’t f*cked up anything.

Bill Cosby released from prison after sexual assault conviction overturned
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-01/bill-cosby-prison-release-sexual-assault-overturned/100257590

The court found that a previous prosecutor had made a deal with Mr Cosby not to charge him in the case.

Mr Cosby was found guilty of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in his home in 2004 after giving her unidentified pills.

However the Pennsylvania court’s majority found that a state prosecutor, Bruce Castor, struck a deal with Mr Cosby’s attorneys in 2005 not to bring criminal charges.

As a result, Mr Cosby was unable to avoid testifying as part of a civil lawsuit that Ms Constand brought against him, since defendants can only refuse to testify when faced with criminal prosecution.

His sworn deposition, which a judge unsealed in 2015, eventually led a new district attorney, Kevin Steele, to charge Mr Cosby later that year, just days before the statute of limitations was set to expire.

That prosecution, the court found, essentially amounted to reneging on Mr Castor’s earlier promise not to charge Mr Cosby.

“In light of these circumstances, the subsequent decision by successor DAs to prosecute Cosby violated Cosby’s due process rights,” Justice David Wecht wrote for the majority.

“There is only one remedy that can completely restore Cosby to the status quo ante. He must be discharged, and any future prosecution on these particular charges must be barred.”

This is corruption.

The law can be anything you want it to be it seems this for example. The court found that a previous prosecutor had made a deal with Mr Cosby not to charge him in the case.

Yeah, the promise probably should have been made in the first place, but once made, it should be binding. The prosecutor who originally made it should probably be considered for being charged for perverting the cause of justice.

Ir seems it was deliberately perverted to fail.

No possibility of appeal either.
