In reply to the discussion: For those women who think objectifying women as sex objects is OK [View all]kcr
(15,315 posts)It's saying that women shouldn't be reduced to nothing but objects to be desired, as if that's there only purpose for existence. That is objectification. You can't see the difference? Your example with the fireman. See, the thing is, with objectification, there is no jumping out of the pictures and seeing the women do anything other than being objects of desire. That isn't wanted or expected. They aren't doing anything. The fireman is doing a job. Not a comparison at all.
But even with all that being said. Most of the objection over the whole SI cover, which you dismiss as much ado about nothing? Most of it wasn't even over the whole issue of objectification. Mostly it was over the fact it was posted in GD and posted to troll. That was my problem.
