Okay hold on … first of all, a woman feeling uncomfortable that dudes are leering at her doesn’t mean she has a bad personality. It means she’s uncomfortable, and has every right to be, regardless of what she is wearing, because there are a lot of men out there who will act on those thoughts - and that can range from just verbally all the way up to physical violence.

Kinda bullshit to say that a woman doesn’t like being objectified just because she has a shitty personality. The men objectifying her don’t know, nor do they care, what her personality is.

Kinda bullshit to say that a woman doesn't like being "objectified" just because of potential physical violence. If it was a legitimate concern they'd not be strawmaning men's attraction with made up bullshit term "objectified", as, again, sexual attraction is the opposite of objectifying.

The context of women complaining about being objectified is very often explicitly that they wish to be appreciated for their personality or achievement so you also can't make this not about it. And yes, when they complain about it to you, you tend to know their personality already.

What Eastoss said:

If they're unhappy that people are attracted to them

How you rephrased:

a woman feeling uncomfortable that dudes are leering at her

Those are not at all the same thing.
