This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I wonder if we will ever evolve to the point where we can talk about women online without some mad lad needing to sexualise them.
Oh noes! They're talking about s-e-x? Gross! We're not supposed to talk about that! That's naughty - we should be reading our bibles instead!
That’s awfully presumptuous of you, perhaps the comment was made by a woman who is sexualizing short men
She would have to put pants on, at least.
So when you go to the beach, you are purving on every woman in a swimsuit or bikini?
Yes
Also yes.
I'd be satisfied if women got to openly sexualize men and talk about it. That would level out the playing field and, hopefully, reduce the unnecessary sexualizing of trivial things.
As a man, I'd be all about this
You are telling me that a woman practically naked from waist below is not sexual? You might be gay.
Do you have sisters? Do you ever go to the beach? No, it’s really not normal to find yourself reduced to base sexual impulses, and type them out on your computer just because you can see someone’s body.
Yes, I am sane enough to not have sexual urges about relatives. Everyone else is fair game.
It's athletic long legs. Chill, person, it's absolutely partnof human nature and not disrespectful in any way to appreciate that that is sexy.
That is literally the opposite of evolution, we evolve to procreate that means more sex and sexualizing.
TLDR: if you don't sexualize women on the Internet you are an affront to evolution and a sin against nature.
Unfortunately for your genes, attitudes like these will mean they don't have much chance of spreading.
Technically evolution is an emergent phenomenon from the reproduction of organisms. If you were to clone yourself with slight mutations it would still allow evolution to happen with zero inherent need for sex or sexuality whatsoever
Regardless of that, sexualizing women typically leads one to be an incel not a successfully mating male which means it would be the opposite of evolution by your reasoning.
It’s also interesting that your premise is generic but your conclusion is specific. “Sex is to be encouraged for evolution; that’s why we should sexualize women specifically” If you aren’t a misogynist, you might want to switch your TL;DR to “sexualize people” not specifically “women”
The secret lies in the balance - if i don't sexualize women at least a little bit, i would probably don't have a sexual preference for women.
The important thing is being able to keep it in check - I can talk with every woman without hitting on them, even if i might have sexual thoughts about them in secret, just like women will probably sexualize their preferred gender and still be able to behave decently towards men.
There's a time and place for everything. If it were any other way, humanity would have probably died out by now - either by being primarily asexual or by being disgusted by the opposite sex and their inappropriate behavior.
P.S.: My hypothesis is that since most people are alone while posting, they are mentally in a space where such thoughts are not suppressed as much, which leads to a higher occurrence of horny remarks than in real life. A minuscule amount of people of those who can't stop themselves from expressing their adoration of those legs would be like that when meeting her. And yes, those legs are sexy as hell, and i'm pretty sure she knows it, or this photo would not exist.
Sexualizing women does not “typically lead to being an incel”, that’s just crazy. Blaming women for failure to succeed in finding a sexual partner is what leads to that.
It’s not inherently bad to see people in a sexual light, what matters is when and how you act on those feelings, and respecting that people are also more than sexual objects.
It's amazing how many hoops you'll jump through to make a literal scientific fact sound bad but in any case I was obviously speaking in hyperbole to piss people off.
