RE: More Thoughts on Women, Oppression and Porn

Objectification is defined as the seeing and/or treating a person, usually a woman, as an object.

I think it can be argued that if a person feels victimized or objectified, they could very well be. That obviously isn't the only factor when we ask ourselves, "is this objectifying?" Objectification can be classified by many other telling categories.

My final point was to illustrate how some of your questions are rhetorical. Since your first sentence said you aren't objectified by the hypothetical-- well, then it's probably not objectifying. However, that's not a realistic standpoint of how these situations usually play out.

Great points. I agree with you as I personally have been adversely affected by objectification. I dislike it altogether. I see that it causes boys to feel that they have a right to abuse girls and women, that is the bad side of objectification.

Correlation is not equal to causation.
