In reply to the discussion: DU should be collectively ashamed that people here deny that objectification of women is a problem. [View all]Squinch
(50,911 posts)What you don't seem to get is that your opinion on whether it exists doesn't override the experience of others.
And all this coyness about the "other thing." I am assuming this refers to sex, given that every argument that seems to come up to defend objectification on DU seems to begin with the lamest argument of all, "they just don't like sex."
Here's a newsflash: the posting of T&A photos in places where people have said they don't want to see them has nothing to do with sex.
You likely refrain from posting T&A pictures in your office, you likely refrain from posting them in the offices of political organizations you belong to, you likely refrain from posting them in cafes and libraries and community centers and hospitals and other places that you share with women. So somewhere even you understand that the posting of T&A photos in places where people have said they don't want them has nothing to do with sex.
It's not really odd for me to think you are seeing conspiracies when you talk about a "collective" that is out there trying to shame YOU, you personally, because of your innate importance. So no, my conspiracy point has nothing to do with what is "in my mind." It has to do with what you said.
Anyway, are you a phallopressor of the worst order? I don't know. I don't know you. What seems clear from your posts is that you wish you were.
