If secretly clicking photos of women in public is an offence, then doing the same with men can be considered as creepy. There exists a site where women and gay men secretly click pictures of men and upload them on the same site.

While most women are victims of unusual gazing and objectification in public transport, a vast number of women are not lagging behind when it comes to setting their demands straight.

The site Tubecrush, however, is extremely popular among masses. Women and gay men here click random pictures of men in public transport and upload them for the audience to share their comments on the same.

Researchers from Coventry and Aberystwyth universities are monitoring the images carefully for academic reasons. The team is primarily focusing on the qualities women desire in their partners, by studying the images carefully.

Researchers are suggesting that for most women muscular physique tops their chart of demands. Men who are skinnier built, wear glasses and less expensive clothes were less popular. Discriminating much? Have a look at the set of following pictures of well-built men with expensive gadgets and accessories, doing the rounds on the site.

Lead researcher Adrienne Evans from Coventry University's Centre for Postdigital Cultures said that the photographs on Tube Crush suggest that the society still celebrates masculinity in the form of money and muscles. She further states that it's a big problem as our desires are still hovering around money and strength.

However, many were seen bashing this discriminating act. The group included men and women alike. Many are stating that the act could have taken an awful turn if women were involved. This can definitely be termed as a form of harassment and invasion of privacy. Check out how people reacted on Twitter.

What might stun the viewers is that while revolutionizing feminism, the movement is gradually turning out to be a focused revolution in support of male bashing. Keeping in mind the ruthless male domination women have faced since ages, this move, coming from a well-civilized society, can only be condemned.
