Huh... how do you guys know you weren't the one getting pity fucked?

I feel the anger from the ladies (and really hope MixedMedia hasn't left cuz I like her) - it's directed at the male gaze's way of sizing up women based on physical attributes. The OP's post makes it clear that "ugly" means appearances.

Unfortunately for a lot of women, this kind of objectification translates into lower wages, the glass ceiling, less opportunities, etc. than men. It's judging someone's value based on superficial qualities ergo seeing them as an object, where women are lumped into 9s, 10s, 5s, 12s, whatever. Pretty dehumanizing... but it makes it easier to justify poor treatment.

So I feel the anger. We're sensitive about it because we have to deal with this bs every day.

By the way, the same girl/boy can elicit "I would fuck" and "I want to fuck" - depends on how badly you want to fuck 'em at the time (are you drunk, are you horny, are you dating someone, are you wanting to prove yourself to your buddies). And I think that's universal.
