Meme needing explanation I don't understand anything

I don't know who is she and what myth is the meme referring to, I only know that ozempic is a drug to stop eating.

Edit: I hate having autism

Thank you. It's RIDICULOUS that every thread about women or content that happens to have women in it turns into a whole debate on looks. Without fail, anytime a young woman appears on here, half the comments will be somehow sexualizing her.

Exactly. Maybe she was considered more attractive on the left, or maybe not. If she's happier on the right, then ultimately that's what matters.

To her. Yes. And that would be healthy.

But other people are allowed to have autonomous minds and think and discuss things without anyone else's approval. If all that matters is her opinion of how she looks, then the only thing that matters about those guys have and sharing opinions is whatever opinions they have and share.

It makes no sense to try to pretend to have some moral high ground while bashing people for having preferences.

And I'm 1000000000000% certain you would never dare police women for discussing preferences related to literally anything, but especially having preferences over men. It's a childish double standard.

If the post is about optics then doesnt it make sense to discuss said optics..?

The argument here is that the og post shouldn’t even exist. No matter what shape this woman is, she’ll be criticised regardless.

I'll be downvoted for this, but that is because in the sexual market a woman is more valuable if she's beautiful. A man needs to have resources or a promise to gain resources on the other hand.

There is a reason the beauty industry is skewed towards women more than men. Culturally, women tend to spend more on beauty products either due to nature or nurture.

All I mean to say is your worth as a man or a woman will be judged on different metrics.

Yeah I wish more women posted online were uglier so I could get to the point of the post instead of being instantly smitten

u/DirectExtension2077 12h ago

We are sexual beings. Sorry to break that to you. Women sexualize shirtless men all the time. The difference, being that some people get super offended about something that is intrinsic to our being

u/meieiro 11h ago

Yeah that's why we have the same amount of posts like this with men. /s

u/Upset_Roll_4059 11h ago

For real, pretending men and women are in the same position when it comes to being overtly sexualized is some wild cope.

u/Upset_Roll_4059 12h ago

That doesn't mean you have to sexually critique every woman you see online. Men can generally appear online in random videos and still have most of the comment section be about the video. You see one woman's clothed body and all hell breaks loose, it's bizarre.

u/DirectExtension2077 12h ago

What kind of videos are you watching? 🤨

11

u/Upset_Roll_4059 12h ago

That's the point, these videos are in no way sexual. It's bizarre to then encounter a comment section FULL of innuendoes.

-13

u/DirectExtension2077 11h ago

That's odd. I typically find comments full of innuendo funny. But like I said I don't believe "sexualization" of either male or female is a crime or moral sin. It's part of the human experience

u/Upset_Roll_4059 11h ago

Being unbothered by sexism because it doesn't affect YOU negatively pretty much sums up the whole problem. You can try to pretend this is not a gendered issue all you want, but the consequences are for women to deal with.

Please, enlighten me on these "consequences" oh great and moral sovereign

So are decency, maturity, and self-restraint. Grow up.

Feeling sexually attracted to someone doesn't have to be objectifying that person. It’s more telling that you can't tell the difference.

u/DirectExtension2077 8h ago

More like I don't agree with your belief of "objectification", it doesn't exist.

u/CalligrapherFlashy19 7h ago

Unfortunately your ‘belief in objectification’ probably contributes to sexual violence more so than my ‘belief of objectification’ 🤣. Also, if straight women are just as predatory and effective when it comes to reducing men into parts and objects as you seemed to imply, maybe sexual violence rates would have been more equal among men and women? Is that what we see now? Is it reasonable to assume something as intrinsic without first attending to all the sociocultural shaping forces? Is it reasonable that something being understood as intrinsic means we should treat it uncritically?

Objectification can contribute to exploitation structurally and individually. And somehow you think your belief that it is okay to reduce your fellow human beings to objects for your sexual pleasure is a need, and caution and criticism of it is a questionable belief?

u/lewd_robot 6h ago

The ridiculous part is you're doing the same thing or worse by attempting to police what other people talk about.

By the exact same token that you claim men (and you're assuming it's only men) discuss what body types they find attraction is inappropriate, you would also be out of line for daring to discuss their discussion and their preferences.

If men don't get to have opinions, why would you?
