 no, i understand your point. but you're arguing against something that she isn't saying. she's not advocating for thought control.

you're doing that guy thing where you hone in on one phrase and misconstrue the point being made.
she's simply saying that the notion of entitlement to women is a problematic mindset.
and your response is calling people tyrants for saying that thinking of human beings as objects is bad..? 
 Oh, but I am advocating for thought control! Thought self-control. For some people that’s too much to ask. 
 I'm advocating for complete freedom to fantasize for everyone about everything. I can fantasize about killing all 8 billion or torturing them for decades. Who cares? Nobody knows what I fantasize about 🤷‍♂️ 
 God does. That’s what I’m talking about. 
Also. If you think you can fantasize about those things and people will never be able to tell, you’re wrong. It will bear fruit in your life. 
 Well you are suggesting to control thoughts of other people to benefit you. You are not talking about your development you are looking for a free benefit. Not how you can get better. What does God think about that? 
 And I actually agree with this point but it's more everyone's private spiritual thing not prespribed from outside. And it sounds more like Karma than God 
 I'm more for awareness and integrated all parts of oneself rather than suppressing 
 And specifically prescribing supressing sexual thought through dogma leads to Catholic preasts raping children. Is that really what you want more of? 🧐 
 Just stop thinking about sex and it removes 4 billion years of evolution from your body what a silly childish idea that will backfire spectacularly  
 one doesn't have to stop thinking about sex to recognize people as human and not objects... 
 Many women enjoy being treated as an object from specific men 
 and some men enjoy being treated as an object from specific women.
what's the point?
we shouldn't go around treating humans as objects by default. 
 Men don't. Men enjoy the opposite to be in control. 

My point is you nothing about human nature and kind of childish following dogmas that don't work in reality 
 do you not see the hypocrisy in your reply here?? 
 No, I just ask people to leave me alone. I don't ask them to do something or to not do something. I don't care, just leave me and my private thoughts alone
