I don't understand why looking at someone is such an offense. So what if I see someone attractive I take notice? Girls do it too. Why is it just a male thing? It's not like I stand there with my mouth agape and fantasize about them nude the instant I see someone.

The whole feminism thing gets old fast. I'm fine with women having equal rights and equal paychecks. But let's stop making normal human reactions into offenses that only men are the violators of.

Also, I don't know if Emma Watson has looked at her google image results, but some of the top pictures are extremely sexualized. Why is she an authority on appropriate fame conduct?
