Article aside the distinction here I think is important and I agree:
"But we do think it is problematic when nearly all images of women depict them not simply as ‘sexy women’ but as passive objects for someone else’s sexual pleasure.”
I don't read Rolling Stone. I haven't taken notice of many of their covers. I don't know how they portray women. Showing a woman as a sexual being is one thing. Depicting us as objects here only for the sexual pleasure of men is another. Since I don't read the magazine, I don't know which they do.
