If you've ever been the focus of unwanted physical attention, you'll know what I'm talking about.
That raw moment when you become aware that all the unique characteristics that make up the individual you are stripped away, and you are objectified; reduced to a body whose sole purpose is to pleasure.
What happens when a man is treated like an object?
As a man, one of the many ways this could manifest is the belief that any physical and sexual attention received should be welcomed as a validation of your maleness, as a recognition of your base need to procreate and be male - stereotypes of gender that are taught to boys from a very early age.
In my experience, this happens both in the real world and online. Gym changerooms become fraught with sexual innuendo. Facebook and even platforms ostensibly designed for work opportunities are utilised as modern-day pick-up bars.
