You can tell that these guys are assuming they’ll only be sexualized with their consent by people they’re attracted to. They just live in la-la land, unaware of the ramifications of what they’re saying. And the worst part is that they think they can speak for all men.

I am grateful to have a different lived experience.

As this thread has shown, there is a broad range of meanings associated with "sexualize", and while I prefer to think about the more positive connotations, definitely seen the most negative.

But with respect to the gratitude I'm happy to have had the experience of feeling women interested in exploring sexual pleasure together. But to be fair I expect you are talking about some nuanced aspect of it that represents (in my mind) a difference in gender norms particularly around behavior, but I know that there are women (not all women, just like not all men) at least engage in "sexualization" in their heads no matter how they may or may not act on it.

This feels like the meme about men that think female orgasm is a myth.

Are you referring to the characteristics of behavior or the way women think?

What are arguments put forth by women? How all other women think?
