Do men actually respect women or view them as sex objects?

[Anonymous]

Yes they do

No they don’t they’re misogynists

Depends on what kind of women they encounter…

I have seen those titles on pornhub calling them sluts, hoes, cumdumpster and many other degrading names when it comes to mainstream porn. I wonder if men viewing them will alter their views on how they view women IRL and their S/Os. I’m too afraid to get a boyfriend because of that.

The men that believe they respect women don’t realize that they’re still objectifying her. When men talk about women as if they’re putting her on a pedestal, that’s still a form of sexual objectification.
Part of the issue is that society has hypersexualized women to the point that viewing them as without sexuality is next to impossible and men have been systemically desexualized in an attempt to avoid being on the same level, but this leads to men desperate to be seen as sexual beings and as such end up projecting their sexuality onto women, assuming that women operate under the same guise of constantly wanting/needing sex in the same way they constantly desire sex and the assumed sexual prowess that comes with it.
I could honestly write a whole essay about the sneaky ways misogyny gets into our minds and makes the world at large a much worse place to live for both men and women, but I feel like I would mostly just bore a lot of you lol

Most of them do. Those who are taught to respect women and grew up with sisters or got strong support from their mother definitely seems to respect women a lot and even stand up for them. There are some guys who don't respect women and objectify them but but they are in minority.

Yes, in general however like any question there are buts... It depends on the woman and it depends on the man judging the woman. Not all women deserve respect. Not all men are mature enough and intelligent enough to offer an opinion I'd respect. Crack whore moms exist. And so do absentee baby daddy's.

A mature man respect women vice versa. A mature man doesn't like/enjoy stuff like strip clubs because he recognizes those are traumatized women being taken advantage of by society. An immature man will put his needs first and will use females like an object.

Each person should be judged individually. Any guy with a brain will know those women you described are outliers. There are plenty of guys that will treat you as an equal, and they will be willing to give up their vices.

[MysticDevice]

So believe it or not but yes, respect does actually happen from a lot of us.

I specify because of course there are douchebags out there who don't respect.

Lol you’re basing this on a porn site? XD

@HollyK21 you have to see this update lmao

[Asker]

Am I reading too much into it? Can you give me advice please?

[HollyK21]

The best advice is to get off pornhub and get active in the real world again😂. You’ve been around men all your life whether it’s at school or even your relatives, and you’ve seen how they treat the women around them. Ask yourself if your IRL experience aligns with what you see on PH. It probably won’t.

[Asker]

@HollyK21 thank you. I’m probably overthinking it… 🤭

Respect them and find some sexy, but not in an objectified fashion.

[Ariesman81]

Both. But it depends how she presents herself

[beefcakebradybatson]

I believe in women's equality as I proudly objectify them.(It's what on a lass' head and in her bra and jeans/shorts which catch this older lad's eye before I can [hopefully] get to know her as a person.)

[wkhan_87]

All men are different
Depends on their depravity level

[Sal_Monella]

Both. They can certainly be sex objects. That is imprinted in male DNA. You can still respect them. That should be included in good parenting.

[BarryLiverstone]

Most of the guys I know respect other people

[MasterKS]

Depends upon who is she.
