    I was like “surely it’s not that bad”, figuring on a couple/three nOt AlL mEN commenters.

    Alas no, a whole thread of “everyone fetishizes someone” bs.

    No, you slap dicks, it’s possible to “have a type” without objectifying people. Do you even know what objectifying is? Can you understand the difference between attraction and viewing another human as an object that only exists for your gratification?

    I think part of it is just life inexperience, combined with parents being afraid of having honest conversations with their kids about sexuality, attraction, and respect. I know I had a LOT of growing to do as a young man. I greatly appreciate the friends I had that called me out on my bullshit. I’m also glad my shyness kept me from outright chode behavior as a youth. I could’ve been very harmful in different circumstances. Not intentionally, but harmful nonetheless

    I am heartened that so many in this thread are calling out the foolishness. I just hope the boys listen
