[quote=Halo] The idea of "deserving" or, conversely, "not deserving" a girlfriend, treating a human female as a reward for good behaviour, is exactly the sort of fucked up attitude that poisoned this guy's mind and that people are so violently repulsed by in his videos.Congratulations. You're part of the problem. [/quote] That was my whole point. Nobody "deserves" a girlfriend (or conversely, boyfriend, because men are objectified by women too). Nobody is entitled to a partner of any kind, because thinking that you "deserve" to have someone means you are objectifying that someone whether you have a someone or not. The problem wasn't that he didn't have a girlfriend, it was that he was a self-entitled psycho who thought the world owed him something. The reactions of some people about him are even more disgusting though, I've seen men saying that this is why "girls shouldn't friend zone" because "that causes this kind of thing". Um, no, it doesn't. What causes this kind of thing is a lack of respect for one's fellow human beings (of both sexes). It's the same as blaming a rape victim because she was dressed provocatively. So… the man had absolutely no control over his behavior? The heart of the problem is at its simplest, a lack of respect. I hear girls complain all the time about dress codes and "protecting the guys" y'know the whole "don't make your brother stumble" when it's the guys that should be held accountable for their attitude about the girls. Even some of the "nicest" (and by nice I really mean decent human being) guys can slip into having this view of women, because it's so common and so widely accepted. Joking about it and making it seem like no big deal actually promotes that kind of thinking. If women don't want to be treated like objects, then both men and women need to build up an intolerance for the kind of disrespect they are allowing to occur, or it will continue to exist and women will continue to be blamed for "causing" things that were absolutely not their fault.
