.@Islappedahippo @mricho61 I don't think feminism is needed coz a sleazy newspaper comments on leading female politicians' legs.
Possibly. But this still would not tell us if ppl who find leg jokes amusing are more likely to be violent to women.

Analogy: Racism- would making casually racist jokes lead to killing black people or Jews- No. Some racism is "mostly harmless"
-
Not all racism is deadly - but its petty forms/ expressions arise from the same kinds of assumptions and attitudes.

I don't see how that works. 1) Regarding women as sexually attractive & saying so is not akin to racism anyway.
-
2) Even when attraction is expressed when not appropriate -eg shld be focusing on woman's ideas -where's the connection w violence
-
I don't see a connection between expressing attraction and violence either. Cant see where you are getting this from.????

Yeah - not sure that's what I was implying tho. Seems quite a stretch/exaggeration.

What is the connection you see then?
