Keep to the main thread guys.

I'm so sick and tired of seeing these types of comments. First of all, you don't have to look. You will say, it's up in my face, but I visit ig regularly and I don't see that stuff because I'm not focusing on it. Once in awhile I'll go to the main general page and see all sorts of pics, including women scantily dressed and just keep scrolling to see if something interests me like the cute animals or cats or birds or cooking. Other than that, I just stick to my main page where I see posts from people I follow.

Secondly, there are also men posting scantily dressed pics but no one complains. Men aren't saying how they are tired of seeing men's pics trying to seduce women or women saying these men need to go get dressed or whatever - it's always the women getting flack. Also, some women like to show off their beautiful bodies for the world to see and feel good about themselves doing it. Not necessarily to entice men. Some do, but not all. Men are the ones who like to take it upon themselves to believe everything a woman does is for them. There are also beautiful lesbians posting scantily dressed pics because they just feel like it and they are not out there trying to entice men. If other lesbians sees those pics they aren't saying I wish she would go put some clothes on, they are admiring their beauty and maybe are happily enticed - idk. Doesn't matter, if you didn't feel enticed, you wouldn't be saying what you're saying. Some people get enticed by ears, necks, hands and feet - no one complains if they see these types of pictures; maybe only the ones feeling enticed and would rather not be and wish people wouldn't show those pics but not dare say it because they would look stupid. It's only pics of beautiful women that get these kinds of responses.

People fuck goats and horses, do you complain when you see these animal pics. People hump on pillows and bedsheets, do you complain when you see pics of pillows and bedsheets. When men complain about this stuff that they are not forced to see, they are only revealing that they are unwillingly turned on by it. That's your problem because there is an exit button. Leave women and their sexuality alone because you don't have to look. I personally don't post pics like those on social media so this isn't coming from a place of it being personal because I do it too, but as a female, I'm aware that all women that do it aren't doing it to entice but because they love to and feel good doing it. People like to express without intentionally trying to entice.

^This. You go girl. I often see  certain kinds of men targeting women's sexuality on a regular basis. Apparently they don't have a problem if a married man watches porn lol. But if a woman expresses her sexuality openly, suddenly these kind of men see a problem with it. I'm like - leave a woman's sexuality alone and women can live in peace.

I know, it's like they're saying, "if I didn't ask you to entice me, please don't. When I'm ready, I'll go to a strip club, watch porn, or look at playboy. I reserve the right to not get excited by going on Instagram because I go on there after I already jerked off to porn and or had sex with my gf and I do need a break sometimes. For me, Instagram is reserved for me to look at beautiful women, but fully dressed, so I can slowly warm up for my next jerkoff session. Looking at your scantily dressed pictures is only going to make me want to prematurely jerk off when I'm not ready and i may get frustrated because I already came twice today".

Women are weak their strength comes from somewhere else and being beautiful is a strength.

You just don't understand women. FYI, most women will recover quicker from a break-up than a man can even if they both loved each other equally. Women are emotionally stronger than men, that's why they don't mind showing their emotions and men mostly hide theirs. We have practice in that regard. Women can also handle physical pain better than men, and overall, men are physically stronger while women are emotionally stronger. Women have been bearing child-birth pain forever and you call them weak.

Being beautiful is not a strength, it's more of an advantage.

Strong are those who show toughness, courage, resilience and character when challenges pop up. Men are generally better at that. IMO.

Except for toughness, I agree those are character traits that shows strength. There are also others. Saying women are weak and leaving it at that to me implies women have no strength in any area. Showing toughness can mean anything and is a very vague word to use to describe strength. Someone acting tough could mean they feel weak inside and feels the need to show toughness to mask that, that's why I excluded that. 

Resilience and courage are straightforward words but they aren't subjected to only the masculine or even most; that can come from any gender and also equally distributed. Character is also vague and interpreted in many different ways but using this word in any way still refers to either sex.

@Princess Arabia Women recover quicker because they cry, it has nothing to with emotional intelligence of sexes men are just taught not to cry. If men were taught to use their emotions there would be no difference in emotional intelligence.If you don't cry to don't recover. Women are severely weaker physically than men.The average man is much stronger than the average woman that's all I was referring too. I wasn't referring to intelligently weaker or emotionally weaker.

I don't generally consider strength how much you can tolerate pain. The definition of weak is

weak

lacking the power to perform physically demanding tasks; lacking physical strength and energy.

2.

liable to break or give way under pressure; easily damaged.

both would be considered true generally under what I said.

And what would you call a permanent advantage?

This is just giving reasons why women are stronger emotionally - besides the point. Reasons why isn't the essence of what I was addressing.

 I think most people would agree with this. Only someone living on Mars wouldn't, that men are physically stronger than women. The word weak can be used as a description in various ways, it's best for the sake of interpretation and reader's understanding you specify to avoid miscommunication. "his driving skills are weak", "her knowledge of history and the way she expressed it was weak", "that password is weak".

A man's reputation can also be easily damaged. Liable to break or give way under pressure could be referred to a male giving a public speech. These definitions, of which there are plenty more variant examples, can be applied to men. Your definition of the word weak, is just that, your definition. The word standing on it's own of even used to describe a particular sex without context, leaves the reader uninformed on what the writer actually means. It is not automatically understood.

I totally agree that women are physically the weaker sex, but there are areas where they do show strength that way surpasses males.

[Hojo]

@Princess Arabia All your examples are entirely metaphysical mine are objective. Everyone's point of view on someone reputations are just self projections.A mans reputation can easily damaged and it also cant at the exact same time depending on who you are asking and you cannot prove your made up opinions.

My definition of weak isn't my own I literally copied an pasted the definition that english has agreed upon. It's number 1.

I wasn't literally judging a man's reputation. I was merely giving an example of how the word weak could be used in a sentence that could describe a man's actions. Anyway, all im saying is the word weak is weak, but it's definition varies and can be used in different contexts. No need to go further as I understand your stance and your use of the word weak and it was meant to be in the physical sense. Thanks for the convo.

Nature has made men physically and mentally more tough ( Resilient and strong) than woman. It's not that they hide their emotions. They express their positive emotions openly. But they don't express their negative emotions openly because they can bear the emotional pain inside them easily than woman as it is so that they don't compromise their responsibility of a leader. As Leader has to be powerful to command respect and authority.

[Sandhu]

Women cry to get support from their surroundings but men don't cry, they are capable of helping themselves.
