the walk of shame.

[seabeyond]

in gd talking about a perk walk. the walk of shame. of course i immediately went to our women, that choose to have sex and then go home in the morning.

the joy in humor and entertainment we have created in the walk of shame. we even ask our women to giggle at the walk of shame. (i am thinking about the tv series, how i met your mother, and robin did the walk). all in good humor.

duh. i have had a noncomical few as the men gather, with their coffees, freshly showered and empowered, to watch the girls head down in shame. and their pride and ownership of doing it, and now.... the women can walk away, really with a pathetic image of shame.

hey all.

isnt it just a fuckin' hoot.

i mean. i am minding my own business... and BAM to the head, in disrespect and loathing toward women.

1. This comes from everywhere

But I think a significant part of it early on in many people's lives is from the fraternity system. This is exactly the kind of attitude that is not only encouraged, but expected. Men are given all the power, and none of the shame (which of course shouldn't be there at all).

2. frat mentality, privilege and entitlement, all the way around. ya. i am not a friend of frat,

either

3. yup

one sex is expected to boast and strut like a peacock the next day.
The other must be shamed for doing the exact same thing.

4. Why the fuck would you allow "them" to tell you that you should be ashamed?

It's only a "walk of shame" if you buy into the shame aspect. I've had enough of others telling me what I should be ashamed of.

5. She's talking about fucked up double standards

6. it is our entertainment today. i put out to you and others. it is where we get our giggles.

hence, some insight to actually what is being said with this form of entertainment for the masses at the expense of women.

this is a feminist forum. we discuss how sexism and misogyny manifest. and we try to get people to think, to dispel the conditioning that hurts all of us.

7. "it is where we get our giggles."

"We"?

form of entertainment for the masses at the expense of women.

You can choose to be a victim or you can choose to change the narrative.

So there's a double standard. What else is new? How about we work to change it? It's only shame if you allow yourself to be shamed. Let's refuse to be shamed. The first step is to stop calling it a "walk of shame."

9. one has to be aware before able to change narrative. hence this discussion

we as a whole. not me or you personally

8. I'd never thought of, let alone heard of the walk of shame until prime time telly introduced me...

I'd never thought of, let alone heard of the walk of shame until prime time telly introduced me to it (same show as you, too). And then, by the magic of branding and within mere days, The Walk of Shame was all the rage for co-workers and friends to laugh at and talk about.

The irony being, the co-workers and friends laughing about it are the same ones complaining that women never talk to them. Ya'think?

10. i knew i really did not like the phrase. but didnt pay much attention to it until i was

watching the show with my almost 18 yr old son, having the best of laughs.... nad me really looking at what he was laughing at.

especially, the well groomed, showered, put together guys with their morning coffee.
