You are mixing two things here. Staring is not assaulting. This thread here is about staring.
Regarding sexual (or other physical) assault: anyone can be physically assaulted regardless of their gender or age. Nothing justifies it, but wearing or behaving provocatively blurs the boundaries.
I won't go deep into the details of human psycho-sexual intricacies, because this isn't a place for this, and also, judging by the number of downvotes, I see that this topic might be too difficult for some individuals to comprehend.
Wearing a skirt implies consent. Clothes (or lack of them) are a form of communication.
For example, my well-endowed wife wears revealing clothes if she feels comfortable with the attention and if it is an appropriate time to do so. On the other hand, if she has a business meeting at the office (especially important during meetings with people from other cultures), she will never do so, because that way she would send an inappropriate message. In this way, she takes responsibility for her behavior.
I watched it only once, in the 90s, and I've never been able to watch it again since. At the same time, I think it's an excellent film.
The seemingly light and even humorous beginning of the film is bit by bit replaced by the sheer horror of the gradual loss of humanity and the final transformation into a monster. Simultaneously, in my perception, a glimmer of hope for a good ending is created, only to be ruthlessly destroyed at the very end. Even the music from this film feels overwhelming to me.
I highly recommend it, but you should never watch it ;)
Thanks for the kind words :)
I completely don't understand such childish behaviours, completely out of step with the current world full of actual moral challenges, rather than justifications for becoming agitated over trivial matters because someone said something they don't like. And yes, I ignore such people. I have enough years under my belt and enough self-awareness not to bother with them. And you are absolutely right that some people, because of being pointed at by the mob for expressing their emotions (especially in a blunt manner), may start to feel guilt and doubt whether what they feel is "correct" and "healthy". This takes away the arena for clashing viewpoints and is socially harmful. I have a habit of expressing myself in a blunt and graphic way, and I have no intention of changing that. Besides, acting otherwise, I simply wouldn't survive in adult life and at work.
You know... The fact that you like dogs, and I find them irritating at best and repulsive at worst, doesn't indicate a psychological problem.
I generally like animals. I live in a house surrounded by greenery and I really love the birds I take care of, the hedgehogs, and the squirrels who take care of themselves ;)
For me, being in the same room for a few minutes with a smelly, loud creature that climbs on your lap and licks your hands and face only makes me want to wring its neck. And it would be even better if it tried to do that after licking its own balls or after eating human feces it found in the park.
On the other hand, simply interacting with an animal that is compatible with a given person will have a positive effect on their psyche.
Clearly you don't understand the difference between rape, which is a physical assault, and a stare. Eyes don't rape.
Showing parts of your body implies consent to be looked at, but it is not an invitation to touch or take pictures.
Exactly this.

My favorite adaptation of "Dune." Flawed and butchered, but for me, the only one.
Not quite, because you see... I'm employing a cultural code here, the use of which implies I'm older than coal itself.

I collect spores, molds and fungus.
I'm very curious. What exactly in this article led you to such conclusion?
Was this photo taken just before Robert Wagner and Christopher Walken lost sight of what happened to her?
Sorry, but I couldn't help myself, because to me these are legendary Lemmings ;)
You have to commit an actual crime or you just need to be a Uighur then you will end up in a friendly concentratio… erm… re-education camp.
Do you even know what characterizes fascism?
Do aspects like the cult of leadership, hyper-nationalism, the myth of national rebirth, or state-directed capitalism, to name a few, ring any bell?
Bad troll! Now go back to your cave.
The Fly (1986).

Dear armchair psychologists. Where exactly did I write that I killed any animal or in any way violated its bodily integrity?
I simply am not afraid of my emotions, I don't feel guilty about feeling and expressing them.
And as for opinions on the topic of my psychological stability, my therapists would burst out laughing seeing these comments.
P.S. Do you people even know what hyperbole is?

I'm expecting nothing less from this little piece of Russian asset.
