This is not to say you should; if you think something is rude, then to you, it's rude. But your comments border on male bashing or at the very least, projection of an incident or incidents onto specific members of society.

I think that's a little cheap, ng, and it presumes...a lot. Chiefly, it presumes that I would have felt differently before these things occurred 3 years ago. I won't get into the other things that I think it presumes. Maybe in another discussion.

Sexual objectivity is a fact of life, no matter how much we wish it'd go away. Everyone of us is guilty of it, whether in public of private. We don't wear sweats and dirty tshirts to turn on our men, we wear lingerie. We don't think dirty thoughts about the bald guy with the beer gut, we think them about the likes of a Brad Pitt(well, I don't, can't stand the guy, but as an analogy....).
If someone doesn't have the manners to keep his "I'd hit that" to a whisper, you don't have to acknowlege it. On the other hand, Ratbastid's legendary drunken "I could SO do you" got him quite the lovely arrangement....

Again, I don't feel like this really addresses the questions and concerns I've expressed on this thread. I keep getting told that I just don't understand how people are. Well, yes I do. I am a person, too. I have my own thoughts and feelings about the subject, and just because I am in the minority on this thread doesn't mean I'm the only person thinking them.
