The trick is not being offended because women have been taught thats somehow wrong.
I appreciate your input on this thread, UsTwo, but you have this part wrong.

It's not being viewed as a sex object. Many women enjoy being viewed as a sex object, including myself. In fact, I love it. Very much.

It is the disrespect that comes along with this from many man (not all, thank god) that is what gets under the skin of women like abaya and myself. The generalizations, the stereotypes, the debasing of our motivations, the childish whining...these are what motivates me to speak as I have on this thread and others.

Oh, and the other folks on this thread who have tried to decipher the obvious intent of my attitude towards certain people on this thread have it wrong, too. If anyone is being 'defensive because they know they are wrong' it's certainly not myself.
