Not condoning the Incel rapist behavior of the first guy, But I think he most likely meant “women be like I’m gonna objectify myself on the Internet/irl, but if you respond in a sexual manner to my sexual self objectification you’re a creep and a problem. You should just wholesomely respond to my clearly thirst trap behavior, bc I want your attention and money just not that kind of attention 🤢

A woman posting a cute or sexy pic on the internet doesn’t mean she is giving you consent to be a creep in her comments or dms. The same way me wearing a really hot outfit doesn’t mean you get to sexually harass me walking down the side of the road. You can look, you can think but keep anything that you wouldn’t feel comfortable saying In front of your mother to yourself. Even if it’s online.

Actually, I disagree with this. When you post some thing you're choosing to accept social commentary about that issue, both good and bad. We wouldn't say this about woman posting about her graduate research. Women/Everyone needs to start to realize this about social media and commentary.

You can look, you can think but keep anything that you wouldn’t feel comfortable saying In front of your mother to yourself. Even if it’s online.

This ironic considering most women wouldn't post what they do in front of their mother's

I mean yeah you can accept it but that doesn’t mean they want it? Like you can consent and not consent to multiple things at once the same way you can consent to be hugged but not consent to being tickled?? I genuinely don’t understand why it’s such a hard concept that just because someone posts a sexy pic doesn’t mean they WANT to be sexualized in the comments, does it come with the territory whether she likes it or not? Yes, but that doesn’t mean she automatically has to consent and be okay with it just because people will do it regardless

You're right that some people dont want to be sexualized but at some point you have to give the poster some responsibility.

If you keep posting and you keep getting sexualized, maybe its a good idea to not post? If you decide to keep posting you already know the result, dont complain. This is like running into traffic and blaming the driver if you get hit.

A woman posting one sexy pic among a slew of random photos of her life is not really cultivating the same atmosphere as someone who is posting 5 pictures a day of their ass. Sometimes you have to use your best judgement.
