I'll preface this with the assertion that it’s extremely rare for me to be publicly ogled. I think it’s due to women ogling men less than men ogling women. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, just not to me. It also doesn’t help that at any given place there are way more attractive men around than me. Being the exhibitionist I am, this is very tragic. When I do get ogled, it’s usually by another man. Being hungry for the attention, I eat it up.

 But I digress. I don’t know what it’s like to be harassed. I don’t know what it’s like to feel powerless to street harassment or "unconsensual voyeurism." But what bothers me is the government involvement. Government telling me what’s acceptable. I want to make the decision. I want the woman to be empowered enough to say, “hey, what the F are you doing”. Embarrass the person and not feel embarrassed. I want the passer bys to say something. We all turn a blind eye. “Thank got he’s not bothering me” or “Please don’t look over here.” When we let government step in and take care of us, then we have to play by their rules. The government becomes our parents and they have the keys to the car on a Friday night.
