Yes you misunderstood. ngdawg's statement is if someone acts/dresses/projects themselves in a sexual manner they shouldn't be offended when people think of them in that context. You here is the imperial you so to speak.
You took it a step beyond though using the concept of exploitation, and I agree with ngdawg on this. IF you project your own sexuality you shouldn't be offended when thats picked up on. To use TFP for example even though it really doesn't matter what the example is, if you post pictures of your vagina spread eagle and then get upset if someone says 'I'd hit it' you are being unrealistic and naive.

I'm not talking about women who are posting spread eagle pictures of their vaginas. I guess I interpreted ng's comment that way because
I am the one making comments here not some fictional woman posting naked pictures of herself or wearing hot pants to the grocery store and then whining when some guy says she looks sexy. Who has said anything about that?
The real women being addressed in this thread and by the OP are women on the street.

You are not being exploited because someone thinks you are fuckable.

The implication is that if you have ever presented yourself in a way that could be seen as desirable by men, then you forfeit the right to make this argument. Bullshit.

So I need to ask again, what is this exploitation that has you so upset? If its just that someone might say they would like to have sex with you when you are acting in a sexual way, I can't agree thats even wrong or close to exploitation. No one is defending someone just walking up to some random female and saying 'Oh I'd hit that, ya hey der mamma', but thats something completely different from the OP or even the concept of language such as this in the male vernacular.

What has made me, not upset, but adamant in my convictions and I've said it again and again is that it is not simply the phrase, but the implications of its widespread acceptance in our society. And let me tell you, it takes more than one viewpoint to create six pages of dialogue. I've found that the reaction to my viewpoint is far more emotional and over the top than I am being. You yourself have resorted to all sorts far-fetched statements and examples to make your case. The spread-eagle picture reference above being a perfect example of this. Rather, I maintain that it is
I who have hit a nerve here, not vice versa and that hotspot has yet to be explained to me.
