A naked human body is a naked human body, not a sex object. [View all]

Thus the argument that women shouldn't wear revealing clothing if they don't want to be sexually harassed rests on an unsound premise. That premise is that women must hide their bodies because men can't control themselves.

A naked body is not sexualized until someone sexualizes it. For instance, doctors and nurses see naked bodies all of the time without stress because the body is not conceptualized as a sex object in the context of their interactions.

Whether or not the naked or near naked female body is actually sexualized in the present is not a sound argument that naked or near naked female bodies should be sexualized. A lot of the MRA crowd seems to confuse the two and accuse us of denying reality when in actuality we are saying reality needs to change.

We are intelligent creatures. If women are able to control themselves around naked or nearly naked men, men can do the same for women.

Despite arguments to the contrary, not being encouraged to publicly sexualize every woman wearing form fitting clothing is not an affront to anyone's sexual rights.

And if you argue that women should simply cover themselves up, you are a part of the vicious problem.
