Quote:No one forces them to participate in such things. If women were so keen on not having themselves seen as sex objects then they wouldn't be participating in droves as they do. If they wouldn't participate then we wouldn't have nudy magazines, strip clubs, beauty pagents and the like.It would be hypocritical.
Quote:Women piss and moan about men objectifying them as sex objects and then wear pieces of string to the beaches flaunting their bodies. They strut down the street with tight shorts with 1/2 the ass cheeks hanging out, cheeky monkeys. They accept $$ to pose nude and "show their shit" to the public. They jump on stages and accept the $$ of men to flap their asses inches from the faces of those very same men they are bitching about objectifying them.If the same ones dancing are the ones complaining, then that is hypocritical of those individual women. One can't expect magically that the only heads that turn will be only the individuals one is hoping to attract. However, it is perfectly reasonable to expect to not get harassed or attacked in a manner beyond simple head turning / conversation starting, etc, such as persistance after being turned down for dates or sex.
Dotard, since you made the original post, what behaviours are considering to be examples of the objectification that women are complaining about?
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
