> If he didn't want people to snoop he wouldn't have given them something to snoop into.
This remark is rather parallel to "she shouldn't dress that way...". If doing something makes some people behave like creeps, its generally the fault of the creeps. And if the would be mystery man is prepping something, I'd rather he unveiled it than a cabal of creepers.
No, this is him very intentionally posting to a public web site, wanting people to discover it, knowing that they would and now they have. Rather different from "she shouldn't dress that way..." for obvious reasons. Your claim (in another post) that he "made it clear that he wants to be left alone" isn't very convincing anymore.
Note that I share your unease with this whole situation but let's not pretend that this wasn't the expected outcome.
That's not correct. If a woman/man comes naked in class, people WILL stare. And it's not their fault, nor is it "creepy", it's only natural.
Weird, last time I checked I actually could avoid staring at people. Naked people too. Must be a superpower or something.
I do agree on the second paragraph, though — this is most definitely not this situation, it's more comparable to person entering a stage and starting to crack jokes.
>Weird, last time I checked I actually could avoid staring at people. Naked people too. Must be a superpower or something.
Yes, it must be. Surely it's not normal or representative of the general population. The normal thing to do in such situations is to stare (something that has been milked for comedic effect in hundreds of "hidden camera" pranks).
That said, I don't really believe what you claim. You are probably overestimating your powers of not staring in a kind of Dunning Kruger effect. I'm pretty sure if Megan Fox (or whatever rocks your boat) entered your classroom naked you WOULD stare. A lot.

The general population did a lot of things it later stopped doing, or did less.

That said, I don't really believe in your claim of estimating what is a part of uncontrollable behavior and what is not, in a kind of Dunning Kruger effect. For example, as a person who has seen a sauna, a mirror, and a public outdoor female-only bath in the middle of a city, I can assure you that I'd only stare if he/she specifically asked me to. I guess that's because I've been breast-feed in the Chernobyl era.

I doubt they've change a lot of thousands of years evolutionary traits like looking at something unexpected and/or sexual attraction.
(Plus it's not like the "hidden camera" pranks I mention happened in some long gone decades...)

We were talking about people doing things DIFFERENTLY (like one woman/man entering a room naked) driving attention, whereas the above example is about people all doing the same thing that is expected in that room (being naked).
I fail to see how this applies. And I'd love to do a "hidden camera" prank on you on this very matter.
