Are women capable of shame?

[Anonymous]

Most men would be embarrassed to expose themselves in public. We wouldn’t have our ass cheeks or genitals hanging out of our clothes. We actually have shame and feel uncomfortable exposing our bodies to strangers.

But the majority of women 12-50 seem to be ok with exposing their bodies, (regardless of their shape or weight.) and act like it isn’t a big deal.

Can women feel shame? Or does the “girl power” poison make them incapable of understanding that having your ass flaps hanging out of your shorts makes you look cheap and immature?

Female dignity is an extinct concept.

Literally, the easiest attention to get... and they'll blame the dudes for having that innate drive to look. But it's like hold up, who's dressing like to to get them to look in the snow when it's physically uncomfortable? They know A is going to equal B, and then blame B on C even though the intention was to get B because of A to begin with.

I don't know... I do know this is why you're going to end up with someone needing legit help in the gym, and all the dudes will see that camera propped up and "NOPE" the fuck out of there because they've seen what happens if they even look too many times online.

Women don't have their vaginas or vulvas exposed.

I see way more MEN walking around shirtless - exposing the world to their giant sweety man tits and no one bats an eye.

I walk out without a bra & I get comments, I wear a bra and the strap shows - I'm a cheap whore. Heck, I've been called a slut for showing a god damn shoulder. - We feel shame, we just done being shamed by you men.

I hear and see women attack other women more than I see men do. I've yet to hear any of my male friends shame a woman for what she's wearing. Usually the banter about what a woman is wearing in my circle of male friends is something like "damn, she's fine" or complimenting her in some way.

And lets stop pretending you actually get shamed for showing a shoulder.

You were handed the truth and your removed it because you are unable to handle the truth.

Shaming and silencing tactics are not valid arguments. Images of actual proof are.

@Pacquet lol, I've had an older "gentleman" walk upto me to tell me my bra strap was showing and it was inappropriate. I've dared to walk braless and the comments are outrageous. I've been dealing with adult men - approching me in sexual manners since I was a child because I dared to develop young.

I've also been a bartender and have heard the "banter" in between guys - it goes way beyond complimenting a woman for being fine.

@Potteplante Not saying it doesn’t happen but it’s far more frequent and subtle but sinister amongst women. I bet the “older gentlemen” you’re talking about was probably 50+ who is probably the most likely to shame women on their appearance the rest of us couldn’t care less. The commenting men do about women’s appearance are mostly in a sexual manner like you mentioned for obvious reasons.

The truth is women like to believe it’s men that care that much about their appearance because they’re mad at them but think about who dictates the beauty and sexual marketplace, it’s women. Listen to this conversation between Chris Williamson and Dr Tania Reynolds on women’s strategies in intrasexual competition and sexual evaluation. They discuss this very topic around minute 32:00 but the entire conversation is fascinating. I can’t post links yet so the video is called “what use are female friendships”.
