It’s 2021. For more than 50 years, women have been explaining that the constant comments about their looks are unwelcome — that these comments, plus associated behaviors, affect how women feel about themselves, and cut into the energy that they have available for living the rest of their lives as fully and freely as they should be able to (as fully and freely as men do). That these comments, and associated behaviors (such as a guy-boss not promoting or not hiring a woman whose looks he deems inadequate in some way), have measurably detrimental effects on women’s lives.

Women are not here on Earth to serve men — as sex holes, as eye candy, as objects of rage to assault verbally and physically — any more than men are here to serve women. We are all here to live our lives as fully as we can, and this kind of behavior significantly reduces a woman’s ability to do that.

I hope you’ll decide to start responding to women as you want to be responded to — and to stop engaging in behaviors that limit them in life. Thanks.
