42. ahhh, personal attacks.
You don't know what it's like to be a woman doing normal activities and encountering the "unwanted male gaze." For instance, I was grocery shopping today and there was a guy mentally undressing me. I could tell from his lascivious look, and it was so disconcerting and I felt like I was being visually molested that way. It's the "unwanted male gaze" that thousands of women like me have to deal with when we go out to do shopping or run errands. Men just feel the freedom to sexually objectify women or to make crass remarks about them.
