It is just a trailer for a documentary, but it really hits all the high (low) points.¨

Did you watch the video? redqueen Feb 2014 #10
That's all I got. reusrename Feb 2014 #11
Did you watch the video? redqueen Feb 2014 #14
Why would she fard if not to objectify herself? reusrename Feb 2014 #18
So no, you didn't watch it. redqueen Feb 2014 #21
of course I watched it reusrename Feb 2014 #27
If so then you failed spectacularly in your effort to comprehend it. redqueen Feb 2014 #38
Damn ... 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2014 #41
This kind of conflation is extremely common. redqueen Feb 2014 #46
I guess they completely miss the 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2014 #48
The messages in culture and media overwhelmingly reinforce that it is true. redqueen Feb 2014 #64
I think we just disagree, that's all. reusrename Feb 2014 #47
NO SHE'S NOT!!!!! 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2014 #50
Objectification is not an aspect of sexuality. It's a type of oppression. redqueen Feb 2014 #52
What specifically (and relevantly) leads you to believe that? LanternWaste Feb 2014 #60
you think women put on makeup to objectify themselves ? JI7 Feb 2014 #30
I think they do it for all sorts of reasons. reusrename Feb 2014 #36
so fucking what ? what has any of that got to do with not being seen as an object ? JI7 Feb 2014 #37
So it fucking WORKS, that's what. reusrename Feb 2014 #53
What fucking works? Are you under some delusion sufrommich Feb 2014 #57
seems to be an attempt to fight back against the message JI7 Feb 2014 #23
No, of course they don't realize it. redqueen Feb 2014 #43
I'm hoping ... 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2014 #39
Thanks for providing an example nt geek tragedy Feb 2014 #13
What an incredibly trollish remark. Save this idiocy for sufrommich Feb 2014 #16

Disgusting, shameful, idiotic, self-involved post. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #55
That was excellent. Speak up! k&r. sufrommich Feb 2014 #12
Am I being obtuse by pointing out what seems ironic to me? idendoit Feb 2014 #15
It only seems ironic because you're still not getting it. redqueen Feb 2014 #17
What is make up about, if not to objectify one's sexuality by enhancing it? idendoit Feb 2014 #29
Maybe you should watch it again. redqueen Feb 2014 #35
Ouch ... 1StrongBlackMan Feb 2014 #44
No no no no... this is not about being male. redqueen Feb 2014 #49
Great post. nt sufrommich Feb 2014 #59
I took your advice. idendoit Feb 2014 #63
There are a dozen or so links to further reading after that video. redqueen Feb 2014 #85
Yes, make up is definitely permission to objectify sufrommich Feb 2014 #19
That would be stupid. She can wear what she wants meaning clothes or make up for HER, seabeyond Feb 2014 #22
As she said, feeling attractive and finding someone else attractive BainsBane Feb 2014 #24
Does feeling attractve happen in a vacuum? idendoit Feb 2014 #34
So what is your argument BainsBane Feb 2014 #40
Should I never objectify someone, in my mind, because of what they do? idendoit Feb 2014 #69
To objectify is to remove subjectivity. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #75
So than what is the point of her, do as I say, idendoit Feb 2014 #82
uhmmmm. mercuryblues Feb 2014 #83
Great post. It's a shame it has to be said, sufrommich Feb 2014 #84
thank you mercuryblues Feb 2014 #86
Finding a person attractive is not objectification. Asking them out is not objectification either. nomorenomore08 Feb 2014 #94
that makes no fucking sense at all, her point was that women should not be objectified JI7 Feb 2014 #26
What makes no sense is the doublethink. reusrename Feb 2014 #31
You didn't watch the video, did you? BainsBane Feb 2014 #32
Oh, I think I hear it. reusrename Feb 2014 #45
"makes herself look sexually available" why do you think it's about offering something to you ? JI7 Feb 2014 #51
Reminds me of a comment the cavers made about me BainsBane Feb 2014 #56
and it sounded just as creepy and disgusting JI7 Feb 2014 #58
Yep BainsBane Feb 2014 #61
I'm thinking you are right about this not being a coincidence. R B Garr Feb 2014 #72
I wish that explained it all BainsBane Feb 2014 #73
That's what bugs me. The ones that automatically think it's just for them ismnotwasm Feb 2014 #65
Clearly you understood nothing you heard BainsBane Feb 2014 #54
I think it is difficult hfojvt Feb 2014 #71
It's not black and white like that. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #77
it's so diffuse though hfojvt Feb 2014 #78
We have a culture that makes female caregiving overly pronounced. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #79
This is true JustAnotherGen Feb 2014 #89
Correct. Married women do not have increased life spans. Gravitycollapse Feb 2014 #91
"Sexually available"? You have an almost bizarrely low threshold for that... Just saying... nomorenomore08 Feb 2014 #96
What???? gollygee Feb 2014 #101
WTF ? she never said one should never try to be attractive , that has nothing to do with being JI7 Feb 2014 #33
Being sexual and being sexual attractive is not the same as being a sexual object gollygee Feb 2014 #88
Question. Iggo Feb 2014 #74
Yes. nt geek tragedy Feb 2014 #76
You're using the make up to avoid hearing what she said treestar Feb 2014 #103
That was an excellent video, thanks for posting it nt steve2470 Feb 2014 #25
The reletive comfort level of posters trolling this thread sufrommich Feb 2014 #42
That they are is reinforcing my belief that many males are Broken Men. LanternWaste Feb 2014 #62
Hardly surprising given that we live in a Broken Culture Fumesucker Feb 2014 #67

So if a woman is attractive gollygee Feb 2014 #97
I don't get the analogy either... Is he admitting that she's far better-looking than he is? nomorenomore08 Feb 2014 #99
Exactly, no she can't treestar Feb 2014 #104
I think you just summed up sexism gollygee Feb 2014 #105
WTF? Just when I thought I'd seen people pull the most ridiculous analogies out of their asses nomorenomore08 Feb 2014 #98
