The creepy men

I am/was listening to the now latest podcast episode of the Naturist Living Show with Stéphane Dechène, where he talks extensively with the new podcast editor Jessica.

In case you missed it, Samantha - who used to do the editing - is no longer able to do that. I fear she was in some very bad accident or got sick. I don't know, nor do I want to know, details. I just hope she recovers well and soon. Get well, Samantha.

A comment that Jessica made and Stéphane dived into was the fact that (some) men are very creepy in the way that they look for "likes" on posts on social media and if the "like" (or whatever) was left by a woman, these men will immediately try to connect with that woman. Not because of an interesting comment, but merely because she's a woman.

I immediately and again wondered: WHY?

Why the flock are such men so needy, desperate to contact women who respond to naturist posts? Do they think that's going to do them any favours? Even I think that's creepy. Imagine how women feel about it. And with that kind of behaviour going around everywhere (I'm sure of that), why do people wonder about the lack of women in naturist circles?

The answer is there, right in your face: because (hopefully) non-naturist men are destroying their sense of safety. Because they emphasise the objectification of women. I

can't call it anything else.

I doubt someone like that thinks: "Hey, let me connect with that lady because of the amazing bio description in her profile!" or "She left that 'like' in such an amazing way, I need to know more about her!" And then I'm not even touching on the subject that these men would probably never post anything of themselves. I bet none of them are Adonii (which is my plural of Adonis) so why the flock do they feel entitled to do this? Do they really think women are waiting for that kind of attention? My gut feeling, common sense and instant reaction is NO.

Such creeps give me the creeps. Is this what 'mankind' (yes, emphasising MAN) has come to?

I really hope that this will come to an end. A feeble hope probably, I know, but this shameful way of doing things, harassing women and chasing them away from body freedom and being able to unfold their wonderful selves is disgusting.

Anyway, good luck to Jessica in editing the coming episodes. I'm a fan of the podcast.
