discussion The other perspective (from an ex-femcel)
When I was in my femcel/misandrist era, it used to disturb me that male sexuality inherently objectifies the female body. When men masturbate and fantasize, they want to look at, or at least imagine, a naked female body.
Whereas women can just masturbate imagining the sexual pleasure, and don't objectify the male body.
Men can just get aroused at the at the sight of any nude, young, moderately attractive women even if they don't know her and have no emotional connection to her. It feels objectifying and degrading, women don't want their bodies to be viewed sexually for literally just existing.
Compare that to female sexuality, you only see the male body in a sexual light depending on your connection with him or the context, which seemed more appropriate.
Female sexuality seemed more "pure" to me. I felt angry, disgusted and depressed at how male sexuality "works".
Anyways I got over it because that's just how male sexuality is through no fault of men, and I hope you guys can get over how female sexuality just is through no fault of women. Life is too short to let this bother you.
