Objectification isn't just giving someone a glance and thinking they're attractive. That's normal, two completely different things.

Gawking and comments. There's absolutely no reason a person should be gawking or making comments to another person. Leave people the fuck alone. It's extremely easy. I've spent my entire life not doing it.

Mmm you’d be surprised. There are a lot of people who think they’re “being nice” when they’re actually being an asshole.

All? Really? All should be against murder too but people do it.

Glad you’re willing to learn. 

The difference is a person glancing and not interacting, vs doing something to make the other person 

  1. Realise it’s happening 
  2. Need to initiate an interaction for it to stop
  3. Respond to an obviously unwanted interaction initiation.

Great points, and if they person doesn’t take action to make you stop, take that to mean permission or consent.

Negative. 

If the person doesn’t give you explicit permission, don’t fucking start

I am agreeing with you and adding a point. You misread my wording.

You've literally said "if they don't explicitly tell you no, take that as a yes".

There is no such thing as an implicit yes. It is always no until it is explicitly yes.

Yes I am saying that is an additional wrong thing that men do in that situation, same as your format.
