(22,976 posts)In fact, if I even thought about it, I'd be disgusted with myself. And as for #45's "locker room talk," if I heard anyone talking like that, I'd let them know that it's inappropriate (in stronger language, though).
Believe it or not, there are some straights who want women, POC and LGBT to enjoy equal power, equal rights and fair treatment under the law, and the freedom to live a peaceful, fulfilling existence. And not be harassed (or worse) by right-wingers, Republicans, neo-nazis, insane cops, and other assorted knuckle-walkers.
We're not all football-addicted "bros" and chip-on-the-shoulder assholes.

They just don't have any self control it seems.

I don't see how this is ogling.
Truth be told, i knew i was getting old when the college cheerleaders at a basketball game started looking like little girls to me, even though they were 18 - 22 year old grown women.
So, i get the whole "old guy acting creepy around young women", but this doesn't seem like it to me.

My mother would say the same type thing about girls that age. Just like commenting on high school aged males as good looking young men.
This is getting ridiculous.
