Should it be illegal for men to stare at women in the United States of America?

[Onlyonceatime]

Just like in Britain?

I love how Americans think this stuff is real. It's not illegal to stare but under the right circumstances it could be construed as harassment.
Consider being on a train with a female passenger sitting in front, where do you look? Well it's OK to glance at her but what about staring at her face the whole time or perhaps leaning forward and staring at her cleavage?

I know, right? She is wearing revealing clothing so that guys won't look at her. That is the intention of wearing sexy clothes instead of dressing modestly. And no man should be allowed to tell her otherwise. A guy's penis should turn off and not look at her sexy clothes.

@DEondeBeaumont
So if I have some cleavage showing, I shouldn’t have any issue with you intently staring at me? And if you get a hard-on, its my fault?

[DEondeBeaumont]

@UCrayCray it is a biological urge. You have taken a shit before, correct? If you are doing something you know will make men horny, how is it fair to an ugly guy to send him to jail just because you dont want him to look at you. You and I both like the cute or rich guy to look at you, but not the ugly man to look at you. So the ugly guy must be sentenced to prison because you do not want him to look at you while you are dressing in a way to demand attention from a man?

So how about we make it legal for trans women to trick straight men into sex? How about we make a law that does not allow fat women to talk or look at attractive and wealthy men?

Thank God I do not live in that country.

Wow. I wonder what the English folks here think about it. The conversation is actually about a poster. They are misleading folks with the title.

If staring at a woman becomes illegal, what is the next thing that becomes illegal? Having impure thoughts?

[KrakenAttackin]

@OlderAndWiser. The guy in the story was sentenced to 22 weeks in jail!

[Onlyonceatime]

@KrakenAttackin Jail time? Damn, I thought it was just a fine. So a woman can send any man to jail in Britain if she believes he is staring at her or thinks he is creepy.

[KrakenAttackin]

@onlyonceatime It seems so.

This is America, not some Orwellian dystopian state like Britain.

[Dargil]

Nothing in United States Constitution supports your idea. If you want to not be seen wear a burka.

[msc545]

Make it illegal for women to stare at men as well, and while you are at it, make it illegal for women to LIE about men.

[jeremy_09]

If so, then it should be illegal for women to dress sexy.

[Snakeyes7]

If this is true then there I no way you can enforce this without going full Orwell.

[JohnK123]

If it is then women should be forced to enter the draft… like every 18 year old male

[NewsReader]
