Stop Slut Shaming Elevator Guy

Picture a Mr. Watson being offered sex by ElevatorWoman. Now picture Mr.Watson making a video telling women not to do that, that they are somehow bad for offering/hoping for some sex with him. Bad for even thinking about sex (that thought crime that Watson calls ‘sexualizing’ and ‘objectifying’ when men do it). Wouldn’t we all be telling him to leave her alone and stop slut shaming her? All she did was ask and then politely accept his no. She didn’t push herself on him, just accepted the no.

Why is she bad? Is it unseemly or sinful (thought crimes!) for a woman to be sexual with a stranger? She must be a dirty slut, right? Nope. She’s just been slut shamed by Mr.Watson. She did nothing wrong, but he thinks badly of her for even hoping for sex with him under those circumstances (4am elevator).

If you can see how EWoman should not be slut shamed, can you see how that also applies to EGuy as well? If not, please tell me why it’s different. As far as I can see it’s a situation of what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. And don’t bother saying “well she was scared of rape but he wouldn’t have been”. I’m not buying that. There was nothing to indicate a rape threat in either the actual EG situation or my hypothetical reversed sexes one.

I was sort of thinking about that idea the other day.

It’s definitely one of those double standards that push men into submissiveness and feminism in a matriarchal direction, though not overall, obviously.
