This is the only part of your statement that is not circular definition. And it is an unfounded assertion.
- runarberg 13y agoCan you explain where the definition gets circular so I can fix it, I'm sorry, but I can't find it. 1. An object is something that is not a subject. 2. A subject is a character, something I can identify with, something I can attribute some characteristic to. 3. To objectify is to remove from a subject the characteristics that makes it a subject.
- brazzy 13y agoOk, that's better now. What seemed circular to me was probably just redundancy. The core point is now: what are the characteristics that subjects have and objects don't? You have mentioned personality, identifiability and emotions. I'd add to that, even more central: free will (motivations and goals). Which brings us back to my original question: why/how do wolf whistles remove any of these (which?) from women?
