I don't usually consider myself much of a 'feminist' and I certainly don't consider myself a 'cunt' (although I do have a particularly nice one, thank you very much) until I hear someone (and at Pixies of all places, can you believe?!) slam women for reserving the right to be appalled when men treat them as objects, and worse still, assume we're somehow doing things (over which we have no control) to attract the attention of disrespectful men, whom natural selection will one day make extinct.

That's a rather broad brush you are painting with Lou. According to that post I'm a creep that objectifies women. You have taken offense to jbh3's post slamming women and have answered by slamming men.

I think OF's point has much more merit than you give it. From my personal experiences (ie., what I've seen and heard from women), the biggest difference between a creepy ogle and an admiring look is based on the attractiveness of the man behind the eyes.

Also, I certainly understand a retort for jbh3's post... no harm meant or not, it came across as very inflammatory and rude and I didn't care for it at all.
