Negativity against women in TORN

I can't help but to notice the amount of negativity against women that has been rising in the community. I thought i'd go over a few things and it's pretty long so make some coffee or tea and bear with me.

Okay here we go.

First of all I'm a big believer in respect and manners. Sure here on TORN from time to time I go a little off track but in public I believe in being a gentleman and I will look at a guy who is acting improperly in my eyes with disdain and disgust. If they get too far out of line I am the type to intervene even physically if necessary.

That said. If you are a woman and you put a line of text across your breasts don't get offended if you see someone glancing or looking at them. The same applies to low cut shirts, dresses, or anything else. You wanted attention when you did it but you wanted attention from the people you were trying to attract. You didn't want it from the ugly dudes, the fat ones, the old ones, etc.. but maam if you are 'dressed to impress' and look good you are GOING to get looked at.

I can put this in a hunting or fishing analogy but I think I'll go with hunting for now. Granted I don't hunt anymore (animals or women) but it holds true. Let's say deer season is coming up. I set up my feeder and head home. All that delicious deer corn is there to lure the deer I want for a trophy or meat for the year. Well along come some feral hogs. They manage to get into my feed and eat it all up. Annoying? Sure it is. I wasn't trying to attract hogs. I was trying to attract deer. There's no reason to get mad at the hogs for doing what they do I just had some bad luck and a bit of poor planning on my part.

The same thing applies to women. Now my wife is VERY cute (way out of my league) and, when she dresses a little sexy, or a little tight, I tell her not to be surprised or offended if the 60 year old or the fat ugly guy checks her out. Okay if they're leering or making offensive statements sure get offended but, if you lay that bait out there, from time to time you're going to attract something you didn't want.

THAT SAID. As previously stated I believe in being a gentleman. If I see a woman that I consider attractive I will glance but I won't stare. If she's wearing a shirt with a slogan across the front I will, more than likely, try to read it. If it's suggestive I might linger a little longer.

Let's face it. If I went out in public with a slogan button on my jeans pinned over my penis I'm pretty sure a lot of people would take a look (not that I'm all that impressive lol).

So ladies if you're going to go outside and try to be 'attractive' you DO run the risk of attracting someone you are completely not interested in. You threw out the bait. Don't be pissed at anybody but yourself if you have to deal with a few pigs along the way.

Flip that whole thing over though. If a guy is being a creep I think it's incumbent on actual men to step in and shut him down. In my opinion we have absolutely GOT to start being more aware of when another guy is being a creep and let him know that type of behavior is wrong and needs to stop. My wife tells me that, when she goes out to the store alone, she gets a lot of attention and even some creepy ones. When she goes with me pretty much nobody looks. That's kind of funny to me because I'm not very big (5' 9" 160 lbs) but my face has been described as a person who would rip yours off for a quarter. Even when I'm in a good mood I look grumpy.

So, ya, if you see or hear a guy getting out of line with a woman I think it's incumbent for gentlemen to invest themselves in the situation and let the guy that is out of line know that that type of behavior is not appropriate and won't be tolerated.

But that's me and I'm probably going to get ROYALLY flamed for this post but I can handle it :)

So the discussion is, what do we do to minimize this problem in our community?

We really need to start getting along and stop thinking about genders and start thinking of people..

This should be in Life General Discussion, not Torn GD. You don't offer any examples, opinion or suggestions on how this applies to this game.

It's not right to be creepy and stalk a woman but men are men if we see someone's clevage popping out we going to take a peak. We shouldn't stare or go up and talk sexual to her.

I believe that I could reach out to more of our readers by posting in TORN GD. I think this is a very important topic to discuss and I want as many people to see this and give their opinion of the topic.

Its all due to Pink power

it still offers a discussion that people in TORN need to see. It might not belong but people need to see this

Other people think religion is important. The point is, it's off topic.

religion isn't your average discussion this is just doesn't apply to TORN that much

What kind of negativity are we talking about? As far as i'm concerned being a REAL female on this game is a huge plus because everybody wants to be your friend for that virtual relationship, probably also get bombarded with free gifts everyday, too many weird horny guys on this game that don't get any in real life so it turns them on interacting with a REAL female.

Whether it is an important topic for us to discuss here on a game's message board is up for debate, but I made my comment because the title of your thread is deceptive. There could be a pervasive culture of negativity towards women in Torn, and that could very well be an interesting discussion. You don't address that, however, in your post.

Holy shit, is there NOWHERE I can go without this 'gender agenda' bollocks being preached?

Seriously, has the world lost all common sense?

Even feminists like Atwood are coming out and questioning what the **** is wrong with those 'constantly offended' especially on Twatter.
