Someone finding your body attractive should never ever be an insult. Not under any circumstance. The fact that to some people this IS an insult indicates to me that there's something very wrong with our society. And that might just have its roots back in the old morals and values of religion (which did and still does an amazing job at actually and truly objectifying women, by the way. Head scarfs and Burka's anyone? And the bible has its own share of passages that seriously oppress women).

I'll take this bit.
What about when someone threatens to rape you because they think you're attractive? I've had a
friend tell me I was lucky I wasn't going to be in Chicago at the same time as him because "I'm so pretty [he] would rape me".
It is my fucking prerogative to choose when to take accept compliments or not. No one has to feel fucking honoured because someone else told them they are pretty, gorgeous, beautiful and I can tell you know women and men can take personal compliments as insulting.
e: Oooh new page, and would you look at the post I landed under.

Firstly it irks me when people matter-of-factually state x or y to not be a real feminist. Feminism has no concrete definition...

ˈfeməˌnizəm/

the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
