How have women in general earned being treated different from men in your paradigm?

In my experience, they're more understanding and less combative. You can see an example of the latter in your own reply to me.

ETA: I confess suspicion of anyone who uses the word "paradigm". What's wrong with "outlook", or "view"? Not fancy enough? Doesn't sound as smart? Getting paid by the letter?

What I have noticed is that there seems to be a correlation between theistic views and whether it is acceptable to pass comment, harass, attack, rape, throw acid at, or even murder based on what that person considers "acceptable clothing".
All the way from "I wouldn't let my daughter go out like that" to 'honour killings'.

This still leaves more questions.

How old are the women, what are they doing, what is the general body language and facial expression of the naked woman? What is the weather like? Who are the local population?
All other factors are to be considered consistent.

My stepdaughter has concerns relating to anorexia, as such it is important to make her feel good about how she looks.
Recently a male acquaintance friended her on Facebook and asked her out. She turned him down and he responded with a negative comment and unfriending her.
Should his actions be considered her fault?

As for inability to expand on the OP prior to now, my time has been rather bitty of late.

Is the question about your daughter related to the burka/naked question?
The answer to the question involving your daughter is no.
The answer id still give to the main question of the thread is yes.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

RE: Should a woman be treated differently if...
Anyone who said no, just look in your closet. You have more than one set of clothes, and I'm not just talking about needs for different weather. You have multiple sets of clothes because people treat you differently depending on what you're wearing and the context of the situation. We treat people differently depending on their appearance (not just clothes). It's not a theist thing, or a conservative thing. It's a human thing.

Wut. How is that even relevant to the thread? The answer to your question is obviously no.

No one's actions are considered someone else's fault.

It has been an effective method of conflict resolution between us.

I assume she wins all the arguments?

You are wise beyond your years. I rarely win anything nowadays. It's better to admit defeat early and just say yes. I think she has me trained.
She graciously allows the perception of me having a modicum of authority to exist out in public. But behind closed closed doors it is a different story. It's been the best thing to happen between us. We rarely disagree, and now when we do it lasts just long enough for her to disrobe. Problem solved. New car? Yes ma'am. New house? Yes ma'am. Thanksgiving with the in-laws? Heck no! I mean, ok I will tell my parents tentatively next year.

RE: Should a woman be treated differently if...
I think people are continuing to take the OP's question way too technically.

As he has already confirmed, he was asking the question in the context of having more/less respect for a woman as a human being depending on how much skin she is showing. That's it lol.

Everything else... such as arresting a person who is nude when it is illegal/inappropriate to be so (or asking them to leave), or declining to hire someone who shows up for a job interview dressed in a dirty/smelly t-shirt with profanity, or having sex with your spouse if you come home from work and they are waiting for you on your bed naked, or speaking to someone differently when they are in policemen uniform... is pretty obvious and carries with it no distinction between being male or female. This is not the context the OP was asking the question in, folks.

We are arguing over technicalities and semantics when every single one of us probably agree on all this.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

You wouldn't put a sheet or a towel over your couch/chair when she comes over to sit on them?  Shy

Good point.  Snails' trails or even just clam kisses aren't really good for hygiene or for furniture.  Some kind of genital/anal cover really is appreciated.

Hey, hey, HEY, this is Min we're talking about here. No doubt a smart sonofabitch, but do you know just how old this guy is?

There ain't that much wisdom laying around, man.
