In reply to the discussion: For those women who think objectifying women as sex objects is OK [View all]TM99
(8,352 posts)That does not mean that I must agree with you especially if your reasoning and knowledge is incorrect. To correct that does not make me the shaming parent so it is really not necessary to flip into the wounded child and make smart ass replies as you just did like a petulant teenager.
Correcting basic flaws in understanding the differences between object relations theory from the psychodynamic traditions and the Feminist theory of objectification based on Kant's moral theory of objectification is neither insulting nor is it pedantic.
If you are basing your rhetoric on that flawed comparison, why would you not suppose that someone who does understand the differences would not correct you. This is how argumentation and debate are done.
You are free to double down which you have chosen to do. Or you could try a different line of reasoning to debate the topic. Or you could even recognize that there may be a gap in your knowledge. Go back and read or re-read Rank, Ferenczi, Winicott, Klein, Dworkin, McKinnon, Kant, and philosophers post Kant who have discussed his moral theory.
