    Men wearing clothes like that to an office job isn’t a thing? Or clothing kind that for men isn’t a thing? Having recently gone to a rave I can confirm clothing like that does in fact exist

    As a reasonably unattractive middle aged man, I do wish that some of the people in my workplace wouldn’t wear low necklines. I am fully aware that I’m not supposed to look and that my eyes aren’t the target of the clothing choices. I think it’s very rare indeed that I do look, but I can’t help but notice, ALL THE TIME I’m interacting with whoever it is. I find it very distracting and would rather not be distracted from the issue at hand. What I look at is under my conscious control, but my sexuality isn’t.

    Someone in the comments mentioned that men should know not to stare from simple polite social etiquette. Yes. I know this. I live this. But if you’re talking social etiquette, I think you have to accept that it’s possible to be inappropriately dressed for the workplace. Wear whatever you like while you’re out in the evening, out in the street, out shopping, but while we’re at work, while I have no choice over who I interact with or for how long, please dress in a less distracting way.

    Sorry if that makes you feel objectified or controlled, and I don’t want to make anyone unhappy, but also I don’t want to spend our planning meeting trying to ignore your breats.

      Gay guy with literally 0% attraction to women. Trust me, if I liked them even a little, my adolescence would have be infinitely easier.

      When a woman has big boobs that are hanging out, I can’t help but look at them. I am actively trying to avoid them, but I can’t.

      I can’t explain this, but sometimes I compare it to not being able to look away from a trainwreck.

      As a woman I agree 100%… but, as a woman with huge breats anything that is not a turtle neck ends up being a low neckline. I think even with a turtle neck men would check my boobs. It’s a curse

      Would be nice if designers put out practical clothes. Clothes shopping is a massive pain for someone looking for more conservative look, cheap, and not look like a grandma. Don’t make fun of women wearing sweater all the time in summer cause it may be needes it to cover the clothes.

      I honestly don’t understand why this issue can’t just be resolved with dress codes. God forbid in high school someone wear a shoulder strap not at least three fingers wide, but wearing a cardigan with a neckline down to your navel at the office as formal attire is somehow deemed socially acceptable lmao

        There is a difference between looking/noticing and staring in my opinion.

        It is also important to think about how choices over what one wears are driven by many factors, not just a desire to have people look at you. I think many women (especially younger women) have been made to feel that they must wear revealing clothing to fit in or be cool, so it isn’t really so simple as just an invitation for men to stare.

        As for why men should not stare, it is because the male gaze (everyone’s gaze really) has power and affects people’s emotions, and it is worthwhile to care about how other people feel and not do something that would make a large portion of people feel uncomfortable such as staring at someone’s cleavage. Basically, it is impolite.

              Sadly, my peripheral vision is garbage. But still, I don’t stare.

              Well, I do stare, but that’s because I’m dissociating down an ADHD train of thought completely unrelated to the person who happens to be in my line of sight at the time, not actually looking at anything.

                Try moving your vision, not your eye, to the bottom when it’s dark. You can learn to see in the dark pretty easily, and with practice you can focus and split your attention within your field of vision

          Is there? The only thing considered weird is staring at people who you are not having a conversation with. People can stare at shoes and check them out. People stare at everything other people mean to show off. Clothes exist to hide the things people do not want to show.

          So if women want to wear clothes showing off their breasts then I am quite certain they want people to look at those breasts. So then why should people suddenly not look at them?

            I’m curious about your shoe example. I would feel perfectly comfortable complimenting someone’s shoes and asking about them, for example:

            “I love your shoes, those stripes on the side are funky, where did you get them?” Seems like a relatively normal conversation.

            However, “I love your tits, the way your nips poke out is awesome, were you born with them?” Seems inappropriate.

            Do you not see any distinction here?

              Well, yeah. Complimenting someones biceps is also a fairly normal thing to do. But not breasts One is sexual. The other is not. The more sexual the compliment gets the more inappropriate. Further reinforcing the point that breasts are sexual.

              Of course everyone knows they are sexual. Making this whole dance around the subject a bit ridiculous.

                I’m not really sure what point you’re trying to make, staring at someone’s bicep is also creepy. No-one’s saying “you may not ever look at breasts” the staring is the issue.

            As a man, when l run shirtless it’s not because I want to show off my chest, it’s because I’m hot and it’s practical. Depending on the temperature in and around the workplace, something with less coverage may be more comfortable.

            Yes, there is a difference between staring and looking, in so far as those terms are commonly used in american english:

            From Oxford Languages via Google: Stare: look fixedly or vacantly at someone or something with one’s eyes wide open Look: direct one’s gaze toward someone or something or in a specified direction So “staring” means looking fixedly or vacantly. This takes “looking” to a different place because it implies your thoughts are lingering on the thing you are staring at, which in the case of cleavage would be sexually suggestive (and therefore could make someone uncomfortable). It’s not too far off from catcalling in my opinion. It is much less sexually suggestive to stare at someone’s shoes or a cool hat, so clearly the context of staring is important as to whether it is offensive.

            Also, you seem to have missed an important part of my earlier response:

            It is also important to think about how choices over what one wears are driven by many factors, not just a desire to have people look at you. I think many women (especially younger women) have been made to feel that they must wear revealing clothing to fit in or be cool, so it isn’t really so simple as just an invitation for men to stare.

            This is why I don’t think that it is accurate to say:

            So if women want to wear clothes showing off their breasts then I am quite certain they want people to look at those breasts.

      Bravo. Well said.

      There is limited space where I can put my eyesight at, and your breasts took up half of them by dressing in a revealing way.

      You can’t expose your breasts then blame guys for starring. There are twenty pairs of breasts in the meeting room. It’s gonna be one pair of another. It’s your responsibility to protect your breasts as well.

    I’ve never really understood this sort of comparison. Boobs are a secondary sexual characteristic whereas the genitals are a primary one. Men have more sexual characteristics than just their dicks and can literally do chest cleavage too, like a loose open button down shirt. Plenty of women go crazy for that. We just don’t societally obsess over or police it like we do women’s bodies/breasts.

      They both ellicit the same hormonal response regardless of if it’s “secondary.” You could dampen that response by normalizing women being topless, but you could also normalize complete nudism and achieve the same thing for primary sexual characteristics…

      It’s just a subjective line we draw. It could be my sexual trauma speaking but I’d personally rather we make the line even between sexes than move it down.

          There was a post not too long ago discussing boobs and how people react to them. One of the responses was from a foreign aid worker in Haiti after the earthquake. In Haiti, it’s not uncommon for women to walk around with uncovered breasts. At first, the poster said, they found it extremely distracting, because boobs were everywhere. After a few days uncovered boobs stopped being novel and sexy, because they were everywhere.

          Once their assignment in Haiti ended and they returned to their home country, boobs started being sexy again… all that to say that while they are a secondary sexual characteristic, it is a cultural construction whether or not they are seen as overtly sexual.

            That shows that exposure causes an overall reduction in response, but doesn’t support the conclusion that it’s a cultural construction in the first place, nor that at a population level that it trends towards zero. It’d be interesting to quantify the reduction, though I’d bet it’s a smaller effect overall than one might think.

        Not sure if you’re using a speech-to-text thing that chose the wrong homophone but “illicit” and “elicit” have different meanings. If something is illicit, it’s against the rules. Something elicited is brought forth.

        I associate “illicit” with “illegal” and “elicit” with “evoke” and, even if it’s not an exact match for both meanings, it’s close enough to get to the right one.

      Yeah, maybe this comic isn’t the same, but my problem with the “my eyes are up here” thing is that men and women alike know that breasts are a turn on for some people and yet they wear a shirt/skirt exposing them and then get angry when the people attracted to them are caught looking. If you don’t want men/women looking at your breasts - then maybe don’t expose them.

          In my opinion, if someone feels it’s impolite to stare, then to someone else it’s impolite to expose. It’s one of the most passive-agressive things to do, being angry at someone who stares when the exposure is intentional.

            There’s a specific difference between staring and taking an admiring glance. The former is generally associated with objectification, the latter a shared appreciation. Knowing where that line is makes the difference.

              A good chunk of the population is very challenged by such delicate social distinctions. Like upwards of a third. And even among the rest, everyone’s going to draw the line differently. These bright line rules you believe in don’t exist for most people.

            Someone can have an attractive face, it’s still impolite to stare. You’re literally advocating that women wear burqas. Logically, if women don’t want to have their faces stared at by creepy men, they should have to cover their faces up.

            Just because someone exposes a part of their body doesn’t give you permission to stare at it. It’s impolite to stare at someone’s face, at exposed tattoos, or exposed cleavage. Really it’s simply impolite to stare at anyone’s body.

            Otherwise, I hope a really aggressive bear of a gay man joins your workplace and starts obsessively staring at you. If you don’t want him staring at your face obsessively all day, you can simply wear a mask.

              It’s impolite to stare at someone’s face

              This is so incredibly western. It’s absolutely not a universal truth, there are plenty of cultures that accept staring as a natural human expression of interest. And as people move about in this increasingly connected world, these weird taboos are bound be challenged more often.

              And I’ll be here on the sidelines, staring and eating the proverbial popcorn while watching this slow motion train wreck. One of the few pleasures the brave new world affords me.

              And plenty of people would be offended that you chose this imagery as offensive.

              As a straight guy with gay friends, I considered myself finally accepting (or maybe desperate) when I could take the attention of a gay guy as a compliment and be kind about redirecting them

              it’s still impolite to stare

              It’s a free society: anyone can look at any direction consciously or unconsciously. No one has a duty to make others comfortable about it. You can both embrace the mutual discomfort of each other’s existence. Or you can call it impolite as they heedlessly carry on untroubled by the nonsense of it all.

                What a bunch of “umm aktually” pseudo-intellectual bullshit.

                Since you seem allergic to understanding proper context, realize that we’re obviously talking about proper social etiquette and expected behavior. We’re not talking about legal sanction. That much is obvious from context.

                And the idea that we don’t have certain duties in social settings is just absolute horseshit. Yes, we don’t have legal duties here. No one will arrest you for staring. But every person has duties of acceptable social behavior in polite settings. The force of law is not the only, or even the primary, way we have of enforcing social behavior.

                You can whine all you want about some theoretical pseudo-intellectual take about how you’re not bound by any law to change your behavior. That still won’t keep you from getting fired for being a creep after you rudely stare at your coworkers’ bodies.

                It’s a free society, but that matters for nothing in everyday life. You are largely free to take most actions, but you’re certainly not free from the personal and social consequences of being a perverted creep.

          Well yea, I don’t think anyone is defending staring. They’re just pointing out the hypocrisy of the few who will do both the, “my eyes are up here” thing to glances and happily wear clothes that show off cleavage and/or curves.

          While most individuals understand the mixed results of attraction, there are both hypocrites and some weird sometimes contradictory social norms that say it’s a problem.

            “They were dressed all sexy like” isn’t an adequate justification for acting like a lecher. And we shouldn’t normalize it being so.

              No one is defending lechery. IMO it should be obvious that people should be allowed to be sexy whilst not implying any level of consent. To think otherwise is to not understand consent in the first place.

              Although it should also be obvious that if you wear something out in public, you’re consenting to being viewed in what ever you’re wearing, too. Not that anyone should be staring or snapping pics, either. That’s impolite at best and probably some level of harassment too.

              There are obvious boundaries both on what someone has to accept and what someone doesn’t have to accept.

                I think it’s giving entirely too much credit to a commenter trying to justify being called out for staring.

                Yeah, some people will overreact. That doesn’t mean you have to take it personally. I think the original commenter has skin that’s too thin and got hurt because someone told them they were doing something that made that person uncomfortable.

                Just like people should understand that they’re going to be viewed by others in public, people should also understand that not everyone is going to react in the specific manner you want them to in all circumstances. If they got told off, as it were, get over it and move on. Don’t take it as a deep-seated societal problem they must rail against.

                It’s not hypocrisy to act with emotion, it is however hypocrisy to criticize someone for acting emotionally when you defend your actions as emotional in nature.

          Agreed. There’s a big difference between looking at and staring at. You can look at or glance briefly as long as you aren’t being a creep, both sides do it. The problem is when people stare or act creepy.

              I mean its simple biology. If the shirts are low cut or tight or whatever it draws the eyes. Whether thats the result that was intended or not. Only way to fix it is have everyone be asexual or desexualize a woman’s chest. That would require a societal change.

          It is impolite to stare.

          It’s a free society: people can all gaze in any direction for any reason or no reason. It’s no big deal.

          They can look, you can look, you can both share & savor the mutual discomfort of looking. You can call it impolite, call them the devil, and they can just heedlessly carry on untroubled by the absurdity of it all.

          They’re not even necessarily looking for the reason you imagine. Their eyes may just blankly face a direction to avoid eye contact as their mind idly wanders.

            No thanks, I’d rather not stare, or be stared at. I want to have anxiety in the corner if a bus, in peace. I’d also rather everyone dress as decently as possible. Of course, you can’t make anyone dress the way you want, so…

            I hate attention irl so much.

          I am calling bullshit here. This statement is true but the initial commentary is simply bullshit.

          So just to be clear you police your friends doing that to men right? I get that shit a lot and they never seem to. Not ever (OK maybe a few but only the unattractive ones like they still have shame and like being attractive gives someone an all access pass to being hyper sexual oggling asshats…) Not at any public place basically where young women are.

          Now im not a typically sexual person, I don’t stare (cause I really don’t care about that shit at all) and I don’t like playing ‘The Game’. And yet. It is crazy persistent now like everywhere. Like you look too much for it to be polite at all. Then look away and talk with friends while side eyeing me. Im looking cause I trained myself to pay attention to the people paying attention to me. Im not smiling at them or ‘sending signals’ not anything just noticing people looking. And im not muting that (and turning my ‘saftey’ off) so they can do all the mating ritual bullshit with me cause they like my eyes or fit or some shit.

          Then they look extra. Then look away for a bit pretending they aren’t focused on that shit like some creeps do. Then wouldn’t you know, theyre ‘looking’, read staring creeping ect, even MORE and all under the pretense of “sending signals” same as the asshole men that are (justifiably) getting flack for that. But they’re feminine and look cute so it makes it okay? I get patriarchy and undertones of implied violence with males but it doesn’t make it okay to do without that. And I shouldn’t need to have to express irritation or something else to make it stop every fucking time it happens. (Its not my job for one, nor is it my prerogative to exhaust my social energy on that shit or having to fully feel shit emotional states so it can occur to them that there’s basic curtsey theyre clearly missing)

          Same, as the asshole ‘men’ have done forever and are now being condemned for in every media form i see but for some reason they get a pass even though they should know better then anybody

          Addressing it is debilitating… They do not take it well like they should, and if you have to say something? Ugh. They laugh it off like its the god damn funniest thing game in the damn world or apologize in a way that’s just fucking… Ugh disingenuous af or some other exhausting performative way. Like you should know this shit! “I wasn’t” mhmm. “mind your own business haha (I’m allowed didn’t you know that)”, dismissive bullshit. Your being weird leave us alone type feigning for their public type shit. Or they defend their pride by looking at you like you just became a sex offender or danger in their eyes cause “who doesnt want that kind of attention from me” all cause someone doesnt like their “Game” and that is horseshit and it is the same shameless and toxic shit that shitheel dudes did/do themselves when they try it and is kinda what this entire comic is based around and yet your defending the secondary sexual trait argument instead of seeking to see the nuances of what’s being said?

          Fuck off with that shit. Women can be just as cowardly and baselessly sexual “if you dont want me to stare don’t show it off” as anybody else and always have just hid it more often as was expected of the "back in the day’ (trademark all rights reserved). Now its all reversed but still happening all the time.

          In fact they are so enabled to do that in many places because of this kind of ritualistic excusing of/encouraging of the behavior by their peers without the checks of the anti-male-chauvinist movement that its still half as bad as it ever was. You should take the compliment. She’s cute bro why are you so mad!? (Even though im just expressing basic dislike of it calm like, not like i am right now) its always hella inflammatory defense mechanism bullshit when these girls get offended. Feigning shock and offense at the idea they could be the ‘bad guy’ cause instagrams and shit told them dudes love their hyper sexualized game playing bullshit and can’t help but like any of their attention. Its fucking lame as fuck and fuck it, abusive even IMO

          He’s blank. He should bank. I’d let him blank. He’s got a nice blank. Like I’m supposed to respond well to that. Game game game. Fuck “game”. And fuck ‘the game’ while were at it. And fuck the shitty players of the game getting a pass cause were not sure how to shut that shit down yet.

          Secondary characteristics. MY ASS is a secondary characteristic and yet your asses drool over it like you just accomplished something anywhere I fucking happen to be. And with some built in misandry fed absurdness that its a given they should be able to do that for some reason. Like fucking newfound lady predators that prey on the implied rules of society. Like yeah feminine and without the implication and undertones of violence or whatever but still bs (considering the ritual abuse of power and intended harm that goes with it when verbally or nonverbally denied [see whore, slut, fuck you bitch type guys to compare]) still stalker vibes, still emotionally abusive and manipulative bullshit. Like if you dont respond how i want ill hurt your rep, feels and or your dignity. Like they honestly don’t comprehend your a human person at all really. Real rules that universally apply. Do unto others as you would have done. Real fucking feelings not just the ones they want to acknowledge today. Real psychopathic shit. Cute and sweet like, innocent seeming. But cowardly all the same.

          I don’t see you starring at them correctingly (and with a sense of kindred understanding of it being super bad behavior) like we do with men doing that clearly unwanted bullshit, even tho they’re friends or coworkers or family or whatever. Cause I deserve it or smthg for old people being pervs in the past? Cause you dont want to see yourself in the same light as men? Cause youve decided if they speak in this tone ever someones the bad guy automatically even tho you know better and it wasnt like that at all and you know it? Fuck yall for that thanks. Fuck you for being complicit in it. And fuck off for getting off on the idea that women power means you get to do me/us like that. Rant over.

          And I’m still gonna be kinda mad about it but I wanted to get it out there before y’all lose the plot completely out there. And it’s not like your gonna see that kinda thing on youralls feed like fucking ever so yeah I’m putting it riiiight here today. Ignore it at your own pleasure. Its becoming a full problem fast here. And yeah unfair world for ladies in all kinds of ways, I get that, but yeah this needs some attention for fucking real

              But hey I do hope you like it, your cowardly, passive aggressive, dismissive and (likely) infantilizing bullshit is exactly why this sort of commentary is necessary today. So get with the shame lady (or man i suppose 🤷)

        Sighs tiredly.

        I don’t like blocking. I appreciate a good shitpost or argument. I like seeing all the denizens of the Fediverse, in its entirety (not that I’m upstanding or anything). I have like 5K comments, apparently, amongst no telling how many tankie threads and AI psycosis posts and rants and toxic spirals. And worse.


        But I had a high school friend that made comments almost exactly like this, who’d only say it’s a joke (or shitpost) if called out. He just so happened to treat girlfriends like meat.

        What’s the point in engaging with that? It’s not interesting.

        So here’s my first user block on Lemmy.

        Maybe I’m just over-reacting in a weird moment. Anyway, have a good new year, GreenKnight23.
