I have friends who have done everything you just listed and they were open about it with me. I'm not a judgmental person. Judgmental implies that I would have called my friends horrible names, lectured them or stopped being friends with them. I've never treated anyone like that! I think I’m a...

If that’s the case then I’d have to question what happened to this woman that being propositioned would boost her self confidence? Is that a normal reaction or is it the result of previous abuse, mental illness or a personality disorder?

Why does it have to be a choice between men hassling women in the street and men paying women to take their clothes off? Can they not control themselves? Sorry if I expect more from men than that! Something tells me that the men hassling women in the street are probably the same men visiting the...

PhD students at my university are paid well in excess of $100 per hour to teach tutorials and lectures. They are also very well paid working as research assistants to professors, authors and a range of other organisations. As far as I know to undertake a PhD students have to first complete an...

Yes I do think 12 year olds are going to make pornography and post it on the internet. I knew a 15 year old girl who took photographs of her genitals and sent them to a guy that she was having a sexual relationship with via MMS. The guy sent the photos to all of his friends including my...

Why is it dangerous for children? As I said they learn their behavior through observation. If they see this type of material they may decide to upload something similar to the internet, which in my opinion is 100x worse than any text they could possibly put on the internet. At 12 years of age...

I think this is what is so pervasive about the porn and adult industry. It has become so normalised and people have become convinced that it's harmless. Women are trying to keep up with pornography. Instead of speaking up and saying to their boyfriend/husband "I don't want you to watch that"...

It all comes down to your interpretation of those quotes. I don't believe she was saying that all heterosexual sex is rape. I’m a fan of Dworkin because she wrote so much on pornography which is an issue I’m particularly passionate about. I’m confused as to why the men here are unable to...

:rolleyes:

I honestly think I’ve written everything I possibly can on this issue so I won’t write anymore because I’ll start repeating myself. I totally understand why men are frustrated these days. They’re expected to work full time, look after the children, cook and clean. Women are also expected to...

I think this article is a pretty good summary of how pornography is damaging men's libido and relationships http://nymag.com/news/features/70976/ I don't know how anyone could listen to this and go on thinking pornography is harmless...

I hope you weren't actually being serious but I'll respond to this anyway. I think the danger in raising your children (or the media raising your children) to base their self worth on their physical appearance is that beauty is so fleeting in the eyes of the media. Many models are in their...

Objectification isn’t about the model in this specific video being hurt. It’s much broader than that. These types of advertisements emphasise that a woman’s value is found in her appearance rather than in what she has to say. If you’re interested in how sexual objectification has an...

I think there is a point to spending some time arguing about it. People always find my point of view on this stuff so strange.. I just don’t get it? People argue “sex sells and it will always be this way. There will always be prostitutes and strippers, there will always be porn, semi-naked women...

Any woman can be given the skanky stripper look with enough makeup. That wasn't a personal attack on the model!

*bangs Head Into Keyboard* And There It Is. You Made My Point For Me. If You Have Enough Money You Can Buy Women. More Than One At A Time In Fact.

Nobody said women sexually objectifying themselves wasn't profitable! I'm sure most women could make plenty of money as strippers and prostitutes. I suppose pimps aren't profiting from women's bodies either..they're profiting from their entrepreneurial skill set. Men don't want to have sex...

I'm a feminist not a tree hugger. And if you ever want a wife or girlfriend who isn't dating you for your money I suggest you look into becoming one too. Not only does this commercial objectify women but it assumes men are stupid. Hmmm how do we sell this house? I think our target market is...

If you look up the definition of objectification I think it's very clear that it's happening in this commercial. She took off her clothes. She didn't speak. She didn't engage with the camera. There were few shots taken of her face but many shots taken of parts of her body. This suggests she...

You admire them for doing something different? Oh yes, totally. Women have never been sexually objectified to sell a product before have they? How innovative and original. Truly genius! :rolleyes:
