[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 73583693, member: 123415"] I wasn't specifically talking about street harassment...I was talking about the double standard that's in place with regards to what the PC crowd gets outraged about. Chalk it up to growing up in different places I guess...it's not uncommon where I live. Few times a month I'll chat it up with some strangers when I'm out walking around town. ...but nobody is "demanding" anything. Unless force is used, in which case I've already stated that would be wrong (and criminal) This idea that "being exposed to, or having to see/hear something I don't like" is the exact same flawed logic evangelicals use for defending their positions for restricting the activities of LGBT people. "Everyone has to behave in a manner to make sure they don't make me uncomfortable - even if what they're doing doesn't violate my rights" is precisely the attitude that PC crowd would be arguing [I]against [/I]if this were a conversation about gay marriage, bakeries, or which bathroom people can use. Like I noted before, the PC crowd tends to pick their side based on tribalism more than actual ideas. Since PC dictates that one must side with the group that's been subjected to more institutional disenfranchisement, they're siding with the notion that "[I]men shouldn't approach women in the street to ask them out because it's toxic because it make them uncomfortable'[/I] ". Yet, if this were a conversation about bathroom usage, it'd be "[I]That trans person should be able to use whichever restroom makes them happy, and quite frankly, it doesn't matter if that makes you uncomfortable[/I]" (IE: since trans people are the ones who've been disenfranchised more, they get the support of the PC crowd) I'm in the camp that says there's no expectation for "nobody is allowed to do anything that makes me uncomfortable" (within the law of course) in public places.
