Yup.
I got it. One's social credit score is worth more to them than their integrity.
How does refraining from wolf whistling at women give one integrity? It is just polite manners. Putting words in other people's mouths is just a way to try to justify one's own judgmental attitude.
Where do you see the words "wolf" or "whistle"?
Has "checking somebody out" been re-euphemized to mean something different than "look at someone in an appreciative manner"?

Yep, I had forgotten the beginning of the thread already. That is still the equivalent of "making a yuck face" at someone who doesn't meet one's standards. And my douchey judgmental nature needs no justification. |

...And my douchey judgmental nature needs no justification. Precisely my point. People are going to judge other people (for right or wrong, for better or worse), so let's stop pretending that one form of judgment is superior to another. |

As long as people refrain from shallow judgments in public, it's all good. |

There is no "private" any more. Cameras (public and personal) are ubiquitous. People post their feelings (real or [mostly] faked (for the sake of their social credit score)) at a blistering pace on social media of all forms. What's wrong with our faces showing a little honesty from time-to-time?
Sure. Somebody's feelings might get hurt, but we don't really care about that unless it provides an opportunity to put down the "wrong-doer" and hurt their feelings in order to feel better about ourselves, right?
So many people are filled with "self-righteous indignation" that they can't see their own hypocrisy.

Dude, being nice in public shouldn't be controversial. Just do it.  |
