Be conscious of where your eyes wander as a woman walks by. Change that behavior.
So you're not allowed to look at an attractive woman at all ever because it's harassment? I mean I understand that having a massive unsubtle perv on someone is going to make someone uncomfortable but this isn't really saying that. So women don't look at men they find attractive? What about lesbians having a cheeky ogle? Is that still sexist? Are guys allowed to check out other guys if they're inclined to do so? I don't see how this is an issue about feminism. It's just about drawing the line between glancing at someone you like the look of vs an offensive obvious perving that makes someone uncomfortable. I mean I do realize what thread we're in can anyone still explain this point?

Recognize your privileges, especially your male privilege (and white privilege if applicable).
I understand what it is (or allegedly is, whatever), but what am I meant to do with that knowledge?
allegedly s: ??
white privilege is very very apparent, america for example
i guess its not so huge in the uk but its still pretty obvious

there's a strong chance I got it all wrong, but I think that is kinda their point: there are a couple of guys around who can't grasp the concept of mutual respect, and as it happens around 90% of them are heterosexual so they will be eyeballin' and disrespectin' women on a daily basis. and I wouldn't say they're wrong in stating women are far less likely to sexually harass men with their looks, purely because men aren't tought to beware of female approaches (here lies the main problem with modern feminism imho: trying to rid mankind of its last 6000 years of socio-cultural development is a bit naive).
basically, feminist agenda is (or was, some time ago) about educating poorly educated #lads.

Just commenting about it on a personal level bro and didn't wanna get into a debate about whether or not it exists when it wasn't important to the point I was making.
Anyway, according to the internet, this is Deadmau5' car...
