RE: 7 Sneaky Reasons to Sexually Objectify Women; and why we love it!

in #relationship8 years ago

Don't get me wrong, as you already have with feminism, I am not against the female form, or women who want to express themselves sexually or even men who express their desires for such women. That is not the issue. The issue is that you (according to this post at least) are looking at women like we are some other breed or species to men.

  • If it's completely natural then why aren't there billboards with men licking spoons or eating burgers half naked?! Do you think the entire economy is attracted to women and not men?
  • If sex sold we would see a hellofa lot more dick and only half the 'sex' as you call it would be tits and ass! Sex is not what sells. Objectification and dehumanization is!
  • Tell me, if a man twice your size walked up beside you while you were alone and on your way home from work and said to you "man, you look good, I wanna do things to you!", would you feel complimented?! And please don't tell me it's different because you are a man and a women "should feel complimented" it is no different because we feel just as intimidated as any man our size would! It is an uninvited advance which makes it harrassment! We don't like it just as much as you wouldn't!
  • You say it is in "feminine" nature to enjoy being adored. It is in fact in HUMAN nature to enjoy being adored. The question is, what are we culturally expected to be adored for? As a man, you are more likely to be adored for your wisdom and success. As a woman... sex. Can you not see how belittling that is?

I agree that there are people who believe being feminist means being allowed to tell women to "stop objectifying themselves". These are small minded fools that think it is something that can be solved if we all just "behave ourselves". Culture isn't something any of us can just change by telling others what to do. It is just something to talk about to make people aware of themselves and what potential they could have if they considered what another world could be like. Recognising that the way we are is cultural and not natural allows people to step out of the stereotypical box our prescribed gender puts us in. That's all. We are not supposed to be telling anybody to put their clothes back on or to be ashamed of their sexual desires. We are supposed to be allowing everybody to be themselves by opening eachothers eyes with feminist theory. That's all.

I went on a bit of a rant there...

To make sure my point get through I leave you with a music video parody. Now tell me: if sex sells why do we never see music videos like this but often see ones like blurred lines?
