It fascinates me why some people are so bothered by other people's gender or sexual preferences.
Why is that?
Because I could care less about those things.

Those who want special facilities and medical treatements on somebody else's dime, aren't keeping it to themselves.

And on the flip side, those who want attention and special treatment for their "chosen gender" use it as a political tool to silence free speech and control how others are allowed to think.
Some sort of balance needs to be found.

The clothing issue does it.
Christian women who want more modest clothing are just prudes, but Muslim women are strong and empowered for wanting modest clothing, and retail chains like Macy's will sell clothing catering to them specifically.
Or women's liberation on the sexual front. Men are not to sexually objectify women, but women are supposed to want casual sex without emotional strings just like men, essentially objectifying themselves.
And honestly, I wouldn't care about any of it if there weren't entire groups busy trying to tell me why one is right and other isn't.

All that and, going by that new Ghostbusters, men are to be sexually objectified now. Watch it thru including the credits and ye shall see.

No, it's just a mess.
A woman cannot choose to objectify herself and them make it OK. It's not empowering to objectify yourself, not if it's not empowering for others to objectify you.
And let's be honest, since the women who used to dress scantily and wave the flag at car events were forced out by women's libbers who apparently felt they were being objectified, were choosing to do it by their choice, sometimes ... a women can't even make her own choice because other women who place themselves in positions of power over those women make the choice for them.
How is that any different than what men supposedly are guilty of?
If I had a job I liked and another woman or group of women came in a told me I could no longer do it because it was demeaning to me as a women, how are they making any less use of their own power to oppress me as a woman? Does it really matter then that they are women too? I say they're still oppressing my personal choices and freedom.
Many women who choose to be wives and mothers first have felt this type of oppression from our so-called sisters for a while now.
