I think that most objections to an objective morality are more disagreement as to the sense in which a person means the term. You'll find plenty of people willing to state -both- that sexual abuse is objectively morally wrong...while also acknowledging that morality -is- subjective. For me, it hardly matters whether it's subjective or objective. I certainly think that sexual abuse is wrong everywhere for everyone and at all times....but if a person insists that this is "just, like, your opinion...man" then yeah, sure...why not...I'll let em have it regardless of whether or not I agree on it being just my opinion - because, after all...it -is- my opinion. OFC, after having said such a thing, I would doubt their moral agency, lol.
Too many words are wasted on subtle shifts in frames of reference.
