You know what I think? I am sick of seeing male genitals referenced, whether to lionize or critique.
The problem with men is not their genitals. Their reproductive organs form part of their risk profile, but we do not bar men from single sex spaces because they might show them, or indeed because they possess an appendage.
We have to move away from this relentless focus on the most over rated bit of skin on the planet.
Men are a statistical risk factor as a class, and predatory men do not need to be intact to be predatory. It is an extra weapon in their arsenal, but they also possess fingers, fists and generally stronger physiques with which to harm. They have eyes which disregard and transgress boundaries. They have minds full of the pornography they consume at terrifying rates. And they use their words, influence and privilege to tear down the rights and protections of women who are then left vulnerable to those of their number who will use their genitals to harm.
We have to move this away from the idea that we are trying to fend off the penis, and we're only concerned about the flashers and perverts.
We're not, and it doesn't matter anyway, because it's very clear from the reaction to this shit that the overton window has shifted so that enough people think indecent exposure is a neutral act.
Please, can we shove it back. Because most of the men who are defending this wouldn't actually reveal their genitalia in public, but they are using every other means possible to subjugate and oppress women and children.
Let's relegate the dick back to the unimpressive lump of irrelevance it really should be in the grand scheme, and elevate the importance of a woman's No.
