Lol I just realized you're a woman! 😂
I think this is a complicated issue, and one could comment on many aspects of it. But I'm just gonna say that women do to a certain extent do that to themselves. Time and time again I've heard men complain that women, or their girlfriends specifically, use too much makeup. I've heard them complain about fake (silicon) breasts and lips. I've made these complaints personally to women and they react with anger. I've said many times - and again many men agree - that there's nothing sexier than a woman in plain jeans and a white shirt. I think the industry is built around women more than it is around men. Men don't buy these magazines or these products. Men don't even want to pay for porn! So generally I think feminists have a lot of work to do on their own sex, before they move on to men.
LOL, not sure if you were joking or just laughing, but just to be clear, no. lol.
I have a dislike for makeup as well, as it's an alteration that changes the true appearance. I want an honest presentation of a person :) Women have so much influence, fashion, hairdo, shoes, makeup, jewelry... so much crap to drain time and attention from consciousness.
Lol! I guess I got confused by comments such as "Yes, we do it to ourselves. I we want it to change we have to change it. Purchasing power speaks.", without reading the preceding comment carefully! And then misinterpreted statements such as this in your article, cos you were talking about women just earlier: "If we think somewhere, even subconsciously, that our partner is interested in us more for the sexual functions of our body than the more substantive aspects of who we are..."
Anywayz, you're back into being a male again! 😂
We, as a society. LOL. And being objectified applies both ways ;) that's how that second quote applies. I wasn't being specific to say that the generalization applies to both sexes because it was an implied generalization about how it applies to us both, but I can see how that can get confusing.
Yeah I agree that objectification goes both ways. It's unfair when feminists sometimes seem to imply it only goes one way.
