#GeorgeYancyIsSexist, vol. 2

No, I'm not going to keep wasting my time on this nonsense...but:

I speak as an insider. I know about what so many of us men think about women — the language we use, the sense of power that we garner through our sexual exploits, our catcalling and threatening, our sexually objectifying gazes, our dehumanizing and despicable sexual gestures and our pornographic imaginations. This is not simply locker room banter but a public display of unchecked bravado for which we often feel no shame.

Hey, guess what? I speak as an insider, too, and:
I don't know any men who are sexist. I used to. I don't anymore. I was raised to be non-sexist before I knew the word 'sexist'--a word I doubt my parents even knew. And I, too, know how "many of us men think about women." The many men that I know are...well, I'd say that they're resolutely non-sexist...but actually it just seems to come naturally to them. I, too, know "the language we use"...and it's perfectly fine. Now, guys I know do sometimes talk about women being hot. Because hot women are a salient feature of life's rich pageant. I'm sure Andrea Dworkin wouldn't approve...but it's pretty damn respectful. If noticing and sometimes even discussing female beauty is sexist, then we're sexist. But it isn't. And we're not. The few discussions I have about women's appearance are--unlike in Yancy's cohort, apparently--always perfectly cool. I'm not wimpy or neutered--or so I'd say--but, look: I've had girlfriends who spoke more salaciously about other women than I do. The real goal, of course, is to berate and dispirit men. But--too bad for you--it's possible to still be a reasonably normal sexual person without knuckling under to leftist/feminist puritanism. That's the real rub. That's what really drives nonsense like Yancy's.
     Personally, I don't feel any "sense of power...garnered through...sexual exploits." Though mine are numerous, and impressive! I assure you! Numerous! And impressive! I'd say that I've, thus far, lived a very happy life, sexually speaking. And yet I don't feel any fucking "sense of power" as a result. What the fuck is this guy even talking about? Did he learn about men from watching 1950s movies? Or reading 1970s feminism? What? I've never catcalled in my life. The one friend I ever saw do something similar (though not technically catcalling), I raked over the fucking coals.
     Do any of us have "sexually objectifying gazes"? Well, now you're just talking about made-up shit, so God knows. If you mean: do I or does any guy I hang out with leer at women in public? No. Never. Never ever. If your friends do, I suggest you get different friends. Do I ever notice attractive women in public? Why, yes I do! I sometimes even look at them. And if that were sexist, then I'd be one. Like...10,000 times over. But it isn't. So fuck you.
   "Our dehumanizing and despicable sexual gestures?" HONESTLY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN  TALKING ABOUT???
   And "our pornographic imaginations"???? Our....well...O.k.that's fair. But not about my friends nor coworkers. And not in a gross way... Y'know...in, like...a sexy way... Anyway, it's not clear that that's anybody else's fucking business, now is it?
   "...a public display of unchecked bravado..."??? LOOOOOL Yancy obviously doesn't know any of the guys I know. What bullshit.
   That op-ed is bullshit from stem to stern. It's just lefty-feminist nonsense. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
