I find the trend disturbing. If you don't, I understand somewhat.
Or I understand people's kneejerk reaction to what they may consider vigilante extremism.
I think we men, should take the initiative to decide "Do we really want to let this tendency grow to be a common matter."

Don't you think you have to think some of these trends through sometimes ?[/b]
I agree with Jaywill that male attitudes towards women are very often based around a physical appearance denoting in their minds a sexual opportunity. However language and in particular a singular word (hot), does not and cannot, define a cultural representation; let alone a single act of violence (gang rape).
The problem lies in the fact that it is very probable that most men reading this thread have at some point described a woman as 'hot', and yet have never been involved in gang rape; therefore there is a sense of indignation and disassociation with the original premise.

At first it stinks. Stay there long enough and you get use to the smell.
The poster sees no harm in this classification of women as "hot".
Okay, 30 years ago men would purchase pornography to ga ...[text shortened]... n who know full well that their deliberate appearance can make men "hot" with lust.
You really need to see a shrink sooner rather than later.
You have an horrific attitude towards women if you believe that a man thinking a women is hot means he want to hump her.
There are women who know full well that their deliberate appearance can make men "hot" with lust
What exactly does that mean? Is it an attractive size 10/12/14 wearing an outfit that reveals a shapely leg, a little cleavage? A size 18/20/22 in a two piece bikini?
A women in a burka?
Originally posted by jaywill Pop culture should not discribe women as "hot". This is destructive and dehumanizing.
An observer may say he is hot with his own greedy lust for the appearance of some female. He should discribe his own feeling and not project it on to the woman that she is "hot".
This saying of "hot" women is the lattest male dominated cultural munipulation and fl his plunge to discribe various women as "hot" women. It is more degrading media hype.
Haha! This is kind of funny.
Interesting that as a man you are against using the word "hot" as you think it endangers women in some way. It belittles them, does it? How are you not objectifying women here? Here we go: let's blame the woman for dressing like a slut so all the men go lusty and rape her! The solution to gang rape AND lust in one fell swoop: stop using the word "hot." Genius! All the gang rapers will be pissed.
Your proposal shrinks the real value of women and men alike. Appraisal in the human world is natural, healthy, keeps the species going and well, is enjoyable.
Any day of the week I would be pleased to be called "hot" as long as nobody gang rapes me.
