Conversation

I was explaining everything I had learned to AVC, and he said that objectification is something you can do with your awareness / vision. He said "You aren't supposed to stare in strip clubs" And I said "What" And he said "Yeah don't don't kubrick stare, it makes them nervous"

I don't remember what part of this was explained by him, and which was explained by

@empathy2000

who joined our conversation, but they explained the differences between Expanded Awareness and Collapsed Awareness, which blew my mind

The difference is how animals interact with you normally vs when they're hunting. It's the difference between kubrick staring and a comfortable amount of eye contact. It's the difference between how you look at tools, or objects, and how you look at people

I'm not great at explaining it because I don't know that much about it, but I think he said

@m_ashcroft

had a video where he demonstrated by looking into the camera, and changing his awareness level. Hopefully more knowledgeable people can take it from here

But yeah, basically it seems like most people, even men, can tell when you're looking at them like they're a prey/object. So the women who could complain about men objectifying them, when their story consisted of a guy saying "hi" were probably picking up on that
