Hello! Sorry this will be long but I hope this well help for you, and other people to understand. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face" aria-label="Emoji: Hugging face">

(1) If a man will be sexually harassed, we would and should also do the same thing; callout the harasser, and protect the victim. This is not about the gender at all. https://twitter.com/itsyagurlnics/status/1264595495101403137">https://twitter.com/itsyagurl...
Most of the victims of sexual harassment are female. And I think the reason why some of you think that we are being unfair to men, especially to male victims, is because you often (almost everyday, actually) see us protecting women and you rarely see us protecting
men — not because we are not or don’t want to protect male victims but because the cases are so rare, and men usually don’t speak up about what they’ve experienced as much as women do.

However, not because the cases are rare, it doesn’t mean that we should not deal with it like
what we do when the victims are female.

(2) Posting/talking about wanting to have sex is OKAY, it is not bastos at all, as long as you’re not involving anyone without consent. “Gusto ko sex”, “gusto ko chupa”, etc., ain’t bastos, sweetie.
That’s the point of Miss Asha’s tweet so I have to make it clear. It’s okay, it’s normal. And if men will post the same thing (again, without involving anyone w/o consent), we really don’t care. We won’t mind.

NOTE: Of course this is NOT okay if you’re a minor or about a minor. https://twitter.com/axhasls/status/1264502192569901056">https://twitter.com/axhasls/s...
(3) BUT, it’s different when they post the same thing and they would involve a person without consent, and start objectifying other people. We callout and crucify men (NOT ALL, OKI) for their sexual tweets because it usually includes sexual objectification or harassment, and
that is not okay. That’s where we draw a line. That’s something that we should not tolerate, and that’s the time that we have to tell them that hey what you’re doing is not okay. This applies to everyone, not just to men. If a woman will do the same thing, she should also be
accountable. This is not about being a woman, and being a woman is not an excuse to harass other people and get away with it. If you’re harasser then you’re harasser. No matter what your gender is, if you sexually harassed someone, people should call you out.
(4) Women are asking for respect because people always think that just because they tweet about sex, wear revealing clothes, send/post nudes, etc., they already have the free pass to harass them. Women always say “our body, our choice” because people always think that they have
the right to police women on what they should wear, and
what they should do.

Let me ask you, if a guy tweet about sex, wear revealing clothes or even topless, and if they have nudes, will they experience such harassment, victim blaming, and slut-shaming, like what usually
happens when women do the same thing? If a guy would wear something revealing, if they post their body, get drunk with women, etc., would someone tell them to “hey wear a shirt” or “hey do not drink with women”? No, right? Because some people let the “boys will be boys” to
flourish. Because when men do these things, they see it as “normal”. But when women do the same thing, they should stop because what? They are women? And you all have these standards or beliefs that women should not do these things if they want to be respected?
Men can surely ask for respect as well, we should respect everyone in the first place. They don’t deserve to be harassed as well.

But we have to see the reality that men don’t experience harassment, inequality and oppression as often and much as women do. And this doesn’t mean
that we are invalidating male victims, and we are being unfair to men.

BEING SEXUALLY EXPRESSIVE IS DIFFERENT FROM BEING A MANYAK. Posting about wanting to have sex is different from sexual harassment and objectification. We all need to see the differences.
It really depends on the context of the post. We have to see the difference between being sexually expressive, and being a harasser.
I tried to explain everything as much as I can but if you think that I said something wrong or I missed something, please let me know and send me a DM! Let’s help each other to understand things. Let’s keep educating each other. Thank you. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face" aria-label="Emoji: Hugging face">
