A lot of men go into unnecessary graphic details most of which are not really useful and unnecessarily objectify the women they review. It would be like reviewing a guitar tutor by describing how they placed their fingers on the fret board or how they turned the pages of their song book.
- prawn 12y agoPeople would judge a guitar teacher on their finger placement and general technique.
- vertex-four 12y agoHowever they'd only mention it if, for some reason, something were wrong about that specific piece of technique. Otherwise they'd never mention it.
- prawn 12y agoI don't think that's true. People are complimentary of others' proficiency and fingerwork (or whatever it might be called) often enough. And I think a parallel to sex work is probably music performance as much as education, in which case technique is discussed by patrons all the time.
- EpicEng 12y ago"unnecessarily objectify the women they review" I'm not commenting on whether or not the reviews are "creepy", but c'mon; these women objectify themselves for a living. Once you go down the road of selling your body I think you lose the right to complain about objectification. They are literally selling themselves as an object.
- dllthomas 12y agoWell no, they are literally selling a service. If they were selling themselves as an object, the purchaser would actually own them.
- EpicEng 12y agoWell, yes, they are selling their body for a short period of time, and the type of "service" they are selling is not irrelevant. If you want to play semantics then fine; they're _renting_ their body. It all amounts to the same thing and doesn't change my point. They are objectifying themselves, so I think we can cut the PC nonsense.
- dllthomas 12y agoI don't disagree with the notion that they're objectifying themselves. I do still think your phrasing was inaccurate. Nothing political about it - it was plain incorrect.
