In reply to the discussion: For those women who think objectifying women as sex objects is OK [View all]yewberry
(6,530 posts)You seem to have decided that your superior knowledge should silence me. What a coincidence, given that I am a woman who does not agree with your complete rejection of objectionification theory.
You've gone to great lengths to explain away points I never made. I simply was trying to clarify that objectification is not the act of seeing another person as a "thing." I have no interest in convincing you of anything.
I'm not asking you to agree with me and I'm certainly not asking you to take a role of a shaming adult. You were insulting, and I acknowledged that. Simple. Your insult was clear, in that you stated that my thinking is immature and that my psychological development is stunted. Correcting flaws is fine, but your opinion is no more valid than mine, TM99, even if you believe that is the case. Re-read what you wrote, and you will see that you have been pedantic and insulting to me.
I have not thus far claimed to be any kind of authority on this subject (unlike you). I have simply tried to clarify that objectification is not about seeing another person as a "thing."
I have NOT chosen to double down in any way, and you might benefit from acknowledging that. Please don't lie; it just makes you look bad.
