Give this ALL THE NOTES please.

To the guy:

To the girl:

ALL THE AWARDS.

A post-modern point of view for all of you modern-thinking people out there.

Let’s start with Boy:

• Boy is simply stating his opinion.
• Boy is allowed to have his opinion.
• Boy has his own definition of what is slutty.
• Boy finds slutty-looking girls unattractive.
• Boy messes up by using “boys…” as a plural/general term rather than “I…”

Now, moving on to Girl.

• Girl is stating her own opinion.
• Girl is allowed to have her own opinion.
• Girl has her own definition of what is slutty.
• Girl apparently thinks she herself dresses in a slutty way (otherwise, Boy would find her “desirable”). 
• Girl is, what, angry that one boy on the internet probably won’t find her attractive?

This post, as a whole, is aggravating and rant-inducing. I (a girl) actually might find Girl’s picture more offensive than Boy’s. Why? Because Boy states his opinion (granted, he generalizes boys, which is annoying and inaccurate due to being a generalization), whereas Girl attacks Boy. Whatever happened to #RespectMen? Why can’t we #RespectEveryone? Even those with differing opinions. Why can’t we look at things in more of a positive light? (i.e. Not immediately thinking negatively of a person who feels like people demean themselves by dressing slutty-like. Because, really, if you think about it, Boy is looking out for girls. Yes, he does it clumsily, but his basic argument is sound and meant well.)

If you read all of that, thank you. I appreciate your patience and interest in my thoughts.

i dig it, but i also think that they both have good points in their own way, but are both being douchebags about it, in their own way. Opinions may vary.
