General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: DU should be collectively ashamed that people here deny that objectification of women is a problem. [View all]Seems to me that objectification theory is a thing of questionable basis. If this is the case, the case for and against can be made, so I'm not sure how either the assertion or the denial is problematic.
However, I don't really see how a discussion board being progressive has much to do with the appropriateness of posting pictures of bikini models. Do progressives, in your estimation, have or should have a problem with this?
Regardless, while shame (collective or otherwise) has become a thing around here lately, I must confess that I've resisted the urge to adopt the current ethos. I appreciate your looking out for my virtue and warning me about potential moral hazards, however, I think I'll manage to navigate this ethical morass pretty well.
Since I am reluctant to join you in this exercise in self-flagellation, I will at least apologize for being a source of embarrassment to you.
