In reply to the discussion: For those women who think objectifying women as sex objects is OK [View all]ecstatic
(32,653 posts)That's where everything else goes wrong.
Example:
Person A: Look at those gangbangers! They need to be arrested and sent to jail!
Person B: Actually, they're not gangbangers. I know them, they are nice, law abiding kids.
Person A: What is your problem? Why do you support gangs? Are you a criminal too?
If person B had agreed that they were a gang, then Person A's follow up comment would have made more sense. However, Person B disagreed with Person A's original assessment, so Person A's conclusion/follow up questions were out of line. Similarly, if someone disagrees with your OPINION about what counts as objectification, that does not mean they support objectification. Clearly, not everyone will agree on what rises to the level of objectification.
