Is deviance in the eyes of the beholder?

It really all depends on what level of deviance you are talking about.  If you are referring to bondage or dominance and submission or things of that nature, it really is in the eyes of the beholder.  One might find bondage to be horrible, yet another person thinks it's great and that all should try it.  Now on the other hand if it is something such as pedophelia (sp?)  or things like that, it is a wrong in society, which is understandable.  It really all depends on the lines that we create as a society.  Deviance has the automatically implication of wrong and bad...dominance must be deviant because it is out of what is considered normal.  I think all in all when it is between two consenting adults, people need to losen up and just let it be.

Yes.  I've noticed that a bright beaming grin turned in the direction of the giver of the evil eye tends to disrupt their concentration.

I don't think that the concept of deviance will ever truly help to understand whether a person's rights have been violated. That is left up to the creation of laws. As to violating social/cultural norms, that is only something that can be judged by the person in question. Societal and cultural norms evolve from many things, but none are truly set in stone as laws are, so there may be difficulty in determining "violation". What one culture considers "normal", might be considered "deviant" by another. In order to ensure respect and avoid "violation", it is merely a question of asking and understanding others' rights based upon their beliefs.

Strange though it may seem ... the eyes play an important role (at least for me).

Some people see a man, some see a rabbit, and many of us see no identifiable features.  Some people are more imaginative than others. Some people are more practical. Guess you you are a practical one.

Yes, I do.  Obviously there is more too it than that.  But if I am alone on a sidewalk and I see a group of large guys with baggy pants and shirts that look frightening to me I would probably avoid them if possible.  \n\nIf I'm looking for a man to date on the internet and I see in his picture that he is dirty with uncombed hair and an evil look on his face, I don't think I'd be writing to him.\n\nAnd if I see food  that is supposed to be one color and is clearly not the right color and looks all dried up and gross, I'm not going to be eating it! \n\nEyesight is one of our senses and we use all of our senses to form our common sense.  Something that keeps us alive and safe.\n\nThat being said, we do need to use our other senses to get a better feel for things that are not obviously dangerous.  When I met my boyfriend I was not immediately attracted to him, but because I did not sense a danger I decided to give him a chance and now I see him as a totally attractive and wonderful man.  \n\nSometimes our eyes see things in a different light after we use our other senses to gain more information!
