:43:00
I myself would welcome the sensation
of a hundred pair of eyes...

:43:03
caressing my... booty
as I walk down the street.

:43:05
Guys always say that.
:43:07
Yeah. ''We'd love it if women
were always staring.''

:43:09
We would.
:43:10
You would love it if no woman ever
listened to a word you were saying...

:43:14
and just kept her eyes locked on
your chest or your crotch?

:43:18
If it led to having sex all the time,
I would not mind.

:43:20
You could deal with never being heard,
never being taken seriously?

:43:23
If I had something that needed saying,
I would wait until right after sex.

:43:28
Seriously, for a second,
just stop saying the obvious thing.

:43:31
Think what it would be like
if on every bus...

:43:34
there were huge pictures
of your naked body.

:43:37
- And on every billboard--
- Magazine.

:43:41
That's right--
it was just about your body.

:43:43
There was so much time and money and
energy spent obsessing and analyzing...

:43:47
trying to get a glimpse of your body,
that soon it felt like...

:43:50
the world had forgotten
about everything else...

:43:52
and you end up feeling...
:43:55
disconnected from your own body,
like it's not even yours.

:43:59
If you're really serious about
avoiding the male gaze--

:44:02
- If the goal is anonymity--
- I never said the goal was anonymity.

:44:06
Here's a little suggestion, okay?
:44:08
Putting on makeup.
Styling your hair.

:44:10
Wearing a killer outfiit and coming to
a place like this on a Friday night.

:44:14
That's when it gets interesting,
because at a certain point...

:44:17
- you start internalizing the male gaze.
- Not the best course of action.

:44:20
Male gaze. Madison Avenue.
Fucking patriarchy.

:44:23
Whatever it is,
it's done its number on you.

:44:25
Do you think you have any control
over who you fiind attractive?

:44:28
- Of course we do.
- I think not, and I'll prove it to you.

:44:31
Ask any woman, ''What's the single most
attractive quality a man can possess?''

:44:36
- And what do they invariably answer?
- Sense of humor.

:44:39
- Sense of humor.
- Sense of humor is huge. Defiinitely.

:44:42
And yet, if two lean, mean,
play-by-their-own-rules...

:44:46
motorcycle-riding men
strolled up to this booth...

:44:51
and beat the shit out of us
two humorous guys, right...

:44:55
and asked you out for a ride,
you would be weak at the knees.

:44:58
- No way.
- Weak at the knees.
