    The first step in standing for change is rejecting the notion that something should be accepted just because it exists. The second step is to act on that ideal.

    Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where people didn't get unwanted attention because of how they look? We can't get there overnight, but we can work towards it.
    Would be nice if people werent trained into thinking that somebody looking at another person is this bad "unwanted attention" taboo. But challenging it requires the 1st step, which is the 1st hurdle. (Using the quoted logic)

    Moral right/wrong are based on emotions. Certain people/groups get priority over whos emotions matter more. You cant fight "notions that are socially accepted" because they are always a part of this. And in turn, if you try to stop accepting these notions, the very logic you're using will also apply to you now. (Based on the requirement/merit of "notions just accepted because/emotion")
    In the end, its a popularity contest based on popular emotions, and who's in the bigger group.

    Sometimes a group is bigger because more people naturally feel "This is good/bad."
    Sometimes a group was smaller, but convinced a larger number of people because "This might be just an emotion, but it leads to this tangible good/bad thing, such as "not starving". And we all agreed prior, we all liked not starving*." (*insert random good thing, that others naturally agree with unquestionably)

    When people are split on a subject, both sides try to argue the tangible benefits/negatives.
    In this case, this is something with no real tangible elements. Just emotions, which fluctuate based on perspective.

    Its an emotional popularity contest of who agrees, and who disagrees based on emotions.
