So because women are “objectified” they will be more sensitive to awkward names? I don’t see it. Are you sure you’re not making sexist assumptions about women

So because women are “objectified” they will be more sensitive to awkward names? I don’t see it.
Are you sure you’re not making sexist assumptions about women being prudish?
- Volundr 6y agoYou don't see how women, knowing full well that some men are already looking at them as sex objects might be uncomfortable saying the names of sexual organs around those same men? More uncomfortable than a man who knows (or at least believes) those men aren't thinking about him that way? The article even says women have been harassed speaking about it. Look I already said I think it's an awkward name for men and women, but this feels like a failure of imagination to me.
- aklemm 6y agoThe likelihood is that you’re failing to imagine the female experience in this case. That’s far more to the point.
