What constitutes 'objectifying' a woman, exactly? I mean, I know what society means by it and I agree that it is wrong, while simultaneously feeling that someone should be allowed to be objectified willingly for personal gain (strippers, porn stars, models, beauty pageant contestants, etc).
But... if I see a smokin' hot woman walking down the street in a halter top and tight little jean shorts... and I watch her the entire time with "Mmmmm..." running through my head... am I objectifying her? If so, isn't that why she dressed that way in the first place? Either way, am I wrong for seeing her as an object of sexual desire? Because I really can't help that. I'm pretty entrenched in my rampant heterosexuality.
