Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've been in Spain the past few weeks. Barcelona is a literal paradise of art, architecture, amazing food, and the most beautiful women I've ever seen. Just sayin.
Dude stop objectifying women as though we're artworks intended for your gaze. It's kinda gross and pathetic.
Don’t worry he probably wasn’t talking about you.
No shit dickhead, I'm not Spanish. I'm just asking men on Lemmy to be normal about women, which, I get it, for sweaty nerds on the internet is a tall ask.
Is normal the same as common sense? If you want to respect mens bodies too, they tend to be attracted to women visually.
Why dont you just let men be normal about women alright?
Hey, well I am a huge nerd. But I'm mostly sweaty after a workout, and if someone wants to objectify me sometimes, I'm pretty ok with that.
You are right, I apologize sincerely. But godamn everything and everyone here is just so pretty. The men too.
If he said the same about men, would you still have a similar outrage? Genuine question, I'm not trying to put you down.
Could have been a woman and not a dude too.
Nah, I'm a dude. And I understand how it's objectifying.
Its not objectifying because pretty women make you feel good by seeing them in public.
Did you do something wrong? Are you supposed to avoid looking at people in public? What if you said all the women were dressed in fun outfits, is that different?
Its not like you said they were there for your pleasure or something, it was a simple report of the things you liked about a location.
Probably, if perhaps to a lesser degree given the difference in cultural context. What is the purpose of your question?
