NSFW objectification

toranokaze · 06-14-2011, 01:09 AM

I was watching Bones the other day and during one ep the following was said:

"...I objectify myself every time I put on lipstick."

Question posed:

Is all sexulazation objectification?

OR

Can one exist as a sexual being and not objectify?

Does there exist other forms of objectifcation that desexualize a person.
If true are they equally wrong?

It is a human sexuality thread I figured I should throw up the tag just in case.

I think Ani di Franco expresses a similar sentiment in her song Fuel.

Sexuality is a large part of who 'we' are, who 'I' am. But if it's the seemingly ONLY part of who you are, or the only part that people take the time to see about you, that is objectification.

Which is pretty much what I've said over and over, over the years.

Is all sexualization objectification? Yes

Fashion is also objectification. It just addresses a different crowd.

Well that depends what sort of fashion you're talking about really.

I read a great article a while back, the Economist or Atlantic, can't remember, written by a woman, who said that most women dress to impress and compete with other women, not look good for men. Made sense.
