Sexist to notice someone with bright unnatural hair and heavy near clown makeup, sure. She’s keeping such a low profile, I can’t believe she would be looked at.
So if people dress a certain way its okay to stare like a weirdo? The post isn’t about just looking at someone. Its old creeps staring at young girls. There is a difference.
Weirdoing begets weirdoing. All sexuality and age stuff aside, she is being weird too, which seemed like the point here.
Though I wonder how much age really has to do with it. These days her classmates probably are running AI off her yearbook photo, if not her instagram. So an old guy looking at her funny in meatspace is probably more innocuous.
What does it mean when a middle aged man stars at you in public? Or, is starring at you? That sounds like some kind of situation in which you could probably call the cops.
It’s super uncomfortable. I nowadays feel like a movie star but without any of the positives that go with it and only the negatives. Well mostly, sometimes someone smiles nicely which is nice.
I absolutely get that, but I just didn’t think it was illegal or worth calling the cops for, which the person I replied to said should happen. But maybe I’m being naive.
it isn’t but you can’t know if it will possibly get illegal in a very short amount of time. Who can possibly know what these people think of or are up to. Sometimes you get the impression it’s nothing good as you squeeze your pepper spray with sweaty hands keeping your composure outwardly immaculate
I will drift off into a 1000 yard stare, sometimes from my deployments, other times wondering where the hell my life went, other times trying to figure out why my kids want to watch the same episode of Bluey for the 416th time.
Really hoping I never did it in the direction of someone and made them feel this way. Makes me want to go out in public even less, I hate bothering people.
You’re not being naive, the comment was joking about the meme incorrectly using “starring” (the gerund of “to star” as in “Cillian Murphy is starring in this movie”) when the meme creator clearly meant to use “staring”, the gerund of “to stare”.
She’s trying to do ominous wide-eyes, like a manic character from a cartoon or something, the idea being that she would “scare away” the older gentleman with her “unhinged” look.
Of course to anyone who has lived even a week in the real world, instead it just looks like somebody trying to looking intimidating and failing
