Seriously. The men in here don’t even realize (or maybe they do) that they are advocating for the most oppressive forms of forced body covering out there.
Simply exposing some piece of flesh does not give others permission to stare. The attitude of the comic is the very same attitude that forces women to wear burqas in conservative Muslim countries. After all, if you don’t want your face and hair stared at and creeped over, why wouldn’t you just cover your face and hair?
All art is a deeply subjective and personal experience, both in the creation and in the viewing. Your comment speaks volumes about what this piece of artwork evokes inside you.
For me, it evoked a pleasant chuckle. I saw a socially inept man first making a woman uncomfortable with his staring, then trying to garner similar attention in a misguided way. I didn’t see anyone oppressing anyone, no burqas or toxic masculinity. Just a silly joke.
