And guys, please don't lie to us here and say when you see a female runner dressed in a bikini, your first thought is one of respect.
WHOA!
Back up a minute.
Are you implying that to acknowledge that someone is a cutie, or hottie, that it immediately means disrespect; or lascivious; or disgusting; or predatory thoughts? I'm saying the first thought in your head is NOT one of respect. It's one of a sexual nature that does NOT include respect. And I'm particularly talking about a certain level of "lack" of clothing here. We're talking degrees.
Why would recognizing people as sexual beings be
disrespectful?
What degrees?
Do you think sex is "dirty" and that beautiful bodies are supposed to be held in contempt?
Your attitude makes no sense to me.
