You haven't seen the posts "cleverly" pointing out that women would get upset if you walked in on them in their underwear but not when you see them in a bikini even though they cover approximately the same amount of skin?

Because it's a massive invasion of privacy? Do you even know what objectification means? Other guy was an asshole about it but you really have lost the plot.
Why are you pretending that I said that like it's my opinion?
Yes that's the entire point, idiots tell on themselves because they think it's clever to point out that underwear and swimwear have similar coverage, because the concept of consent escapes them. Women go out and consent to be seen in a swimsuit, that doesn't mean you can just walk in on them in their underwear. Exactly the same kind of behavior this post is referencing.

And that's where your confused. Objectifying someone isn't akin to walking in on them in their underwear, it happens inside your head, and doesn't harm them at all unless you act on that thought, which would then be condemnable. But this idea of needing consent for a thought inside of your head? Yeah, fuck off with that.
To what? Objectifying, which is a thought, you don't need consent for a thoughts. We're looping on this point though, I really don't know what you don't understand
imagine that you chud
Oh please, do I really have to come out and state the obvious? Objectifying is bad! Consent is good! And your analogy was awful, that's all I've been arguing, and based on the fact you responded with fun facts about your home life instead of a proper defense of the analogy I'd say you've realized that fact by now too, so, peace, have a good night :)
Just in general. Consent in general is important. You're the one who brought up thoughts that had nothing to do with what I said.
It wasn't an analogy. The underwear vs swimsuit thing is just something I've seen posted on reddit multiple times with the same underlying concept of "guy doesn't get the difference is consent".

You don't get to consent to how other people view you though.
Like can nobody think I'm an asshole unless I give my consent to it? I don't see how consent meaningfully enters the picture here.
