I think you missed my point.

Wouldn't it be nice if people were going to these coffee shops, not because women had their tits hanging out, but because the coffee was good? Wouldn't it be fucking fantastic it we started treating each other as humans, and not like slabs of meat?


I too am grouchy, and have been craving caffeine. But I think I will get it from my hairy, slightly chubby, male friend's family's coffee shop.

Alex C:
No, I get it. A lot of them aren't going for the coffee. It happens. And humans ARE in part, slabs of meat. It's going to affect our judgement.

Emaline:
Humans are slabs of meat, who think, and have feelings, and are more than just a warm hole.

The point I am getting at is, isn't it nice to treat people as PEOPLE and not as sex toys?

Alex C:
See, and I hold there's a difference between treating someone as a sex toy and buying coffee from a woman in a bikini. Here's the thing: I primarily value free will. As far as I can tell, the big problem with the way women were marginalized in the past is that like you say, they were not allowed to do their own thing and were simply treated as second class citizens valued only for their bodies. Now, women have a measure of choice. I'm not going to go criticizing what they do with that choice unless it harms me directly. I personally have misgivings about this whole thing, but I'm not going to go around being bitter about it or assuming that this is the end of civilization as we know it.

Josefbugman:
I was only handing out the jumpers to be nice, I thought they may get chilly on the walk home. I am not forcing them to wear them, I just thought it would be nice to show them that not everyone cares how they look.

Yes, I do mean this sincerly.

It's just that, well from my point of view as someone who find sex a bit... personal I wouldn't really want to be served by someone wearing just their pants, no matter how shapely or well filled those pants are. Also it would be odd if I say got a job at a coffee place and ended up with a single item of clothing as "uniform" it would just be rather strange and off putting.
