    I’ve been objectified by women. Usually 30+ years older than me. Granted, it’s been a while. Creepy old people isn’t a male-exclusive club.

      Can confirm; I was indecently assaulted by a woman around 30 years older than me when I freshly turned 18. Took me a while to deal with the cognitive dissonance between wanting to be wanted and wanting bodily autonomy. While most of them are men, gross people are always gonna be gross.

        Yup. At that age I knew it was a gross thing. But also at that age, I was horny. And why would I jump on a 60 year old when I was pulling people my age?

      You haven’t been objectified by way more men than women? I just inferred that men are creepier from personal experience.

        Oh for sure, with the few times it’s happened to me, I never felt threatened. Just grossed out.
