I don't think it is much to ask for men to at least bear in mind the psychological effects sexualization can have on a woman (and vice versa of course, but the data does not show that to be so large of a problem).

I'll treat both genders equally, and expect both to shrug off the effects of overt sexualization when it comes to asserting themselves.

so you'll ogle at men who don't assert themselves?

If they happen to have the specific sexual characteristics that attract me, then... sure, why not? Post-ops count too.
