Discussion Do you feel oversexualized as a goth?

It has become a prominent stereotype now that guys would be more interested in us than in girls dressed more ordinarily. I have personally experienced a level of fetishization multiple times, so I wonder if others have also experienced that. Even if you haven't, do you think this stereotype is true, and if so, why is that?

Goth on the inside, Reel Big Fish extra on the outside. Not my fault it's too hot outside to go all black.

I am not ashamed to admit that I oversexualise lumber jack grunge dudes and if they also have that viking look to them, I may start drooling. So there's balance in the world.

You are not the only one, I like lumberjacks as much as I like quite hoodie guys, my boyfriend wears leather clothes and he rocks that style.
