Is feels like you didn't read the study.

I tend to trust people more when they say "I get the gist of it".

Practicing more, no, and maybe it doesn't but maybe more time to have internal dialogue counts towards practicing more.

I wonder if it's related to the physical differences in what boys vs girls are allowed to experience. At least in my life, I saw and see little girls who are made to sit, be careful. I knew girls who couldn't ride bikes and girls who had to wear skirts, which are limiting, physically. They're also treated as more fragile than boys, and altogether that would give them more time to think about things and develop in that aspect.

While boys who run, play, ride bikes, and are more allowed to play rough would spend more time on that aspect of development. Just a theory.

Some people do, though, and having the studies done will give people proof when they're presenting an argument for better solutions.

There are no, and have never been men in my life who protect me.

I'm not on a high horse, I just care about this topic. I was literally crying about this exact issue earlier today because every time I go to this store I love going to, some dude creeps at me and I cannot just go peacefully and shop no matter how I dress or how I present myself. And thinking about my baby sister and how she has to grow up where me and my other sisters have been harassed since before we even hit puberty.

It's my lived experience and the experiences of my friends and family.

Why do you think I think that way?

I never said all men. I said men, because it's men that do that to me. If a woman ever follows me down the street because I ignored her catcalling, or if me and other girls have to go to the bathroom in groups for safety against other girls, or if women start creeping on me while I'm waiting for the bus or minding my own business, I'll say "people do that to me". But until then, it's only men.

It's not just "taking a foot pic", there's so much work that goes into successful sex work. Creating content people want to see is a job, it takes skill and effort and time. It takes knowing your audience and catering to them, it often includes a great degree of acting and social skills, and building a persona. The camera work, lighting, and filming takes skill as well.

You might not see the value in it, but it's not because there isn't any- the music industry is in shambles for reasons unrelated to sex work.

Men see women as sex objects if they appear in public view. Using that to my benefit doesn't change that fact, and knowing from experience that it doesn't matter how conservatively and modestly I dress means I'll do what is profitable. It'll happen either way. But I will still always wonder why men do not view me as a person.
