The objectification of women

Note the forum. Not in the Image forum....although I'm sure I'll be there if you start one with this same title over there.....

anyway.....the objectification of women has a negative connotation to it. Like it's a BAD thing.

So, maybe it is......but I notice that the women that have the issue with it are not the actual objects. I ask you: If you are the 'object' of desire and adulation.......does it bother you so very much?

Or is this something that bothers the women that are NOT being objectified?

Why are men not seen to be 'objectified' when women swoon over them? Atheletes and Rock stars?

Who started it? the women or the 'men/society' who pay them to do the hawt things they do?


I'm just wondering....
