I guess to be honest I haven't thought about whether guys think about their own desirability. It seems like such a given to me. I think that's what I have been taught by society and the media to do my entire life. Well, maybe not. I think that girls are taught to wish they were desirable but never actually find themselves desirable. such as when you look at another girl you are not supposed to find her desirable. you are supposed to wish that men would find you as desirable as they find her, or wish that other girls would wish they were as desirable as you are. Another thing I noticed my self feeling while reading your entry is a sense of possessiveness. If what you suggest happened and society changed so that men chould be found sexually attractive then what would we have left. (I must admit I feel ashamed to have felt this. but I forgive myself because I can see where these feelings came from). I felt panicky. like it was being suggested that we should change our culture in a way that strips me of the only power I get from being a woman. And it's true I think. there is such power in being the only sex that is supposed to be desirable. I have had a hard time understanding repression. but this brings me to a closer understanding of why there are so many woman out there still saying they feel repressed. It is because the only power that that we have been told we are allowed, and supposed (as in only homosexual guys are sexy) to keep all to our own sex, is perhaps the thing that can feel the most repressive. In a way woman are being told that the only way they can have any power is to be sexy so men want to take away all her real power by raping her. You have to have something men want but can't have and then you can get what ever you want. well to bad there are men (and woman) out there who if they are told they can't have something without paying the price will just take it. So they kinda fuck with the whole fucking system. Fuck.
