It’s a free society: anyone can look at any direction consciously or unconsciously.
No one has a duty to make others comfortable about it.
You can both embrace the mutual discomfort of each other’s existence.
Or you can call it impolite as they heedlessly carry on untroubled by the nonsense of it all.
What a bunch of “umm aktually” pseudo-intellectual bullshit.
Since you seem allergic to understanding proper context, realize that we’re obviously talking about proper social etiquette and expected behavior. We’re not talking about legal sanction. That much is obvious from context.
And the idea that we don’t have certain duties in social settings is just absolute horseshit. Yes, we don’t have legal duties here. No one will arrest you for staring. But every person has duties of acceptable social behavior in polite settings. The force of law is not the only, or even the primary, way we have of enforcing social behavior.
You can whine all you want about some theoretical pseudo-intellectual take about how you’re not bound by any law to change your behavior. That still won’t keep you from getting fired for being a creep after you rudely stare at your coworkers’ bodies.
It’s a free society, but that matters for nothing in everyday life. You are largely free to take most actions, but you’re certainly not free from the personal and social consequences of being a perverted creep.
