What I am getting at is women, some, complain about objectification when women themselves are out objectifying themselves and, by extension, other women in general.Ahhh, sounds like the ones who claim it is all a plot to keep women oppressed by the evil patriarchy. Under that theory, somehow, any woman who decides that she WANTS to do things that men also enjoy sexually, is a poor deluded victim. Connected to that, is the exceptions made for SOME things, like say a fashionable bathing suit. If a penis-bearing human shows any non-harmful pleasure at such a bathing suit, they are oppressing the woman wearing it.
'Tis why I included the word 'stereotype' in my last post.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm strongly anti-sexist, but I will no longer call myself a feminist. Too much of the feminist movement is still a reverse-sexist and self oppressing radical ideology. For most of the 80s, I was a feminazi (yeah, I get to use that word, cuz I was one, so there). When my traitorous clit decided it wanted to play with men again, I had to step back and take a hard look at the cult mentality I had gotten caught up in.
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...
