Neighborhood MILFs and Cougars?
- DeathArrow 2y ago>Neighborhood MILFs and Cougars? If they do that, some angry commenter on HN will shout about objectifying women.
- saagarjha 2y agoAs they should?
- akimbostrawman 2y agoOnly if they also complain about all the other objectifications often glorified.
- 9dev 2y agoNonsense. I can call out something wrong without the need to enumerate all other wrong things, too.
- akimbostrawman 2y agoIts not about enumerating all of them but not ignoring or even celebrating them because its convenient and "its different when we do it"
- saagarjha 2y agoIf we're going down this route I feel you should think about how likely it would have been that I got a similar response if I called out the objectification of men.
- akimbostrawman 2y agoAlmost nobody would and the ones who do would point out that people would say something if it was about women. Note that my comment wasn't about different opinion based on sex but social framing. dislike = objectification like = empowerment
- saagarjha 2y agoYes, that’s exactly my point.
- fennecfoxy 2y agoObjectification is natural in a species that reproduces via sexual reproduction. The key is sexually objectifying (recognising an attraction) whilst respecting said individual. As a gay dude I see _plenty_, _pleeeeeenty_ of women wantonly objectifying men when they choose to, with no repercussions or qualms. It's just unfortunate because of sexual dimorphism and expected behaviours, men are expected to take the more active role most of the time and hence these reprehensible behaviours are more common amongst men. Would be really fun to be a god and tweak everyone's brains such that heterosexual men take the passive role just to see what happens.
- saagarjha 2y ago> The key is sexually objectifying (recognising an attraction) whilst respecting said individual. This sounds like an oxymoron.
