So if people dress a certain way its okay to stare like a weirdo? The post isn't about just looking at someone. Its old creeps staring at young girls. There is a difference.

Weirdoing begets weirdoing. All sexuality and age stuff aside, she is being weird too, which seemed like the point here.

Though I wonder how much age really has to do with it. These days her classmates probably are running AI off her yearbook photo, if not her instagram. So an old guy looking at her funny in meatspace is probably more innocuous.

"She's asking to be objectified."

No, she's not. And this sexist argument needs to stop.

Sexist to notice someone with bright unnatural hair and heavy near clown makeup, sure. She’s keeping such a low profile, I can’t believe she would be looked at.

I agree it’s attention getting but that’s nowhere near the same as “asking to be objectified.” That’s fucked you think they’re the same

"everything I don't like is attention-seeking"

Who said I didn’t like it? I just think it’s silly to draw attention to yourself then not want that attention.
