        For a complete stranger, you seem to think you’ve got me all figured out. While we’re throwing accusations around, you come across as really defensive and needlessly confrontational.

                Women aren’t allowed to make jokes now?

                Stripping context from statements is real useful in twisting them to whatever you want them to mean.

                    Yeah I posted “I’m also lying in bed thinking about that woman” on a meme. That statement is only talking about my internal thoughts and doesn’t saying anything about the woman or what I think she should look like or change to appease what I want.

                    Go ahead. Go digging.

                Yeah, the first comment I’m responding to someone comparing women’s tits to cow’s milk glands. Literally dehumanizing women with large breasts.

                The second comment is my own personal thoughts on appreciating that fictional woman in the meme. It’s not comparing her to anything or saying that she would be more attractive if she did XYZ or that I like her better a certain way.

                You can’t comprehend the difference between the two?

                  When someone else shares their thoughts on a woman, they’re fucked up and evil. When I do it, I’m just expressing my opinion.

                    “I think she’s attractive” or “I don’t personally think she’s attractive” = okay “She looks like a fat cow” = not okay

                    I don’t personally believe this is gender-specific, or subscribe to the idea that women are allowed to thirst over women publicly and men aren’t, but we ought to all be on the same page that it’s not okay to compare a woman to a cow, and so therefore no hypocrisy occurred. Just consider time and place, and be respectful, and it’s fine.

                    Sharing that you prefer the woman in the image without makeup is different than saying you find her attractive.

                    Do you understand the difference?

              You are. Jeremy is objectifying this woman and so are you. It’s not about what is more attractive to men.

                Part of the premise of the original post is about what is more attractive to men, and expressing a preference against makeup is a logically valid way to contradict its argument (while also being a faux pas that context does not defend against). The whole thing is obvious bait and you’re both falling for it.

                  Haven’t picked up that I’ve got a habit of calling out these kinds of faux pas? I’m aware of what I’m doing. I don’t have much patience for men thinking they’re better than others for making the same kind of objectifying statements about women.

                  This isn’t about what men want or what makes their dicks hard.

                    from the outside looking in, it very much seems like you think YOURE the one better than others. Youre taking the velma LARP way too seriously at this point, and youre giving ‘netflix wokescold velma’ and not ‘cool 60s velma’, so its not even a fun larp youre doing either

                    Oh, for sure, doing your hair and makeup has absolutely nothing to do with trying to make yourself more attractive to men when you are a straight woman. Very valuable insight, thanks

        Not really, since the entire point is that “Jeremy” calls it SA
