Men staring at my breasts

I'm just fed up of pretty much every man I pass on the street staring at my boobs. Angry Should I put up with this?

With the weather having been a little warmer, naturally I've wanted to wear things a little cooler. But I'm not going out with my tits spilling out! Just crop tops, etc.

Can't we expect better?!

One of my friends complained of this. One day we were out in the park and she had a crop top on etc, she said to me see he just looked at my boobs when in actual fact he hadn't looked at her boobs at all or her for that matter!
I'd be very very very surprised if every single man you've ever walked by has looked at your boobs unless they are not in a top at all

Cover yourself up and dress modestly then

No response to to the age thing. It starts between 10 and 14. It's natural for men to look. Only prudish girls get upset about it. And school jumpers are very revealing.

The idea that girls should accept this shit because it makes an adult woman feel sexy when a man (literally any man) stares at her tits is revolting.

And of course women and girls know the difference between a look and a stare. We know what a leer is.

A lot of very strange women on this thread .

Stop going on about girls @shinyfootball. There are lots of things that are adult only and you're comments are weird.
This is an adult thing.

ShinyFootball · 14/06/2020 15:02

Men ogling female people is not an adult only thing what on earth are you talking about.

Most women say that Street harassment (including the predatory staring) was worst during school years and particularly bad when in uniform.

Saying this is an adult only activity (an interesting argument and one I've not heard before!) is all very well but it's simply not true is it.

I am mind boggled that the importance to some women of having any man, literally any man, stare at her tits that they are prepared to lie to this extent :/

How the hell is it an adult thing? I remember it starting when I was in school uniform!

ShinyFootball · 15/06/2020 20:53

I know it's not an argument I've heard before! An interesting try but no, men who stare, leer, letch most definitely do not check ID before doing so Hmm

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, that comment is total and utter bollocks.

Cadent · 15/06/2020 20:56

57% of people telling people she is unreasonable for not wanting to be ogled. And yet the same people would probably object to the hijab. Women just can’t win.

ShinyFootball · 15/06/2020 21:01

Or girls Smile

Men ogling female people is not an adult only thing what on earth are you talking about if only.
You only have to walk behind some young girls 12/13 to see men ogling from their car window it is disgusting fucking creepy perv's.

I just want to point out that our world is filled with monsters. There are some who steal your happiness and joy with just a look. Not just any look, but "The Look." You know what I mean, the look that let's you know you were just reduced to an object, and your sense of self-worth was just reduced to nothing. This isn't your imagination, this wasn't your imagination. These monsters feed on the supply they get by projecting this objectification on you. It is nothing you did; I know the feeling is to blame yourself, but you were targeted for no other reason than some individual with a seriously traumatized sense of self who has no ability to self-regulate their own emotions decided to use you as a trash can, giving you their unwanted emotions of self-loathing, and stealing your previous joyous emotional state.
This is hidden behind the toolset of the Narcissist, with innocent sounding excuses causing you to doubt your reality, or the blame being deflected back toward you, rather than the creep responsible EVER having to take responsibility.

Why on Earth did you post on an 18 month old thread? I felt sorry for OP shivering in a tiny crop top in December...Confused

Fomofo · 17/12/2021 12:35

I've barely worn a crop top in my life, winter or summer! I've just never been that comfortable showing off too much flesh

FateHasRedesignedMost · 17/12/2021 16:21

Crop tops look a bit out of place unless you’re on the beach or a teenager IMO, so people will stare. Skimpy tops showing cleavage are bound to have people staring. Fine if you’re ok with that, but if not why not cover up a bit? A loose silk top is just as cool as a revealing crop top.

Georgeskitchen · 17/12/2021 16:47

Men looking at women= filthy perverts need hanging
Women ogling a muscular, tanned young male=totally acceptable

Get old and fat. You'll become invisible.

Trust me 😉
