I'll say this as simply as I'm able. In today's society, if a woman is objectified to a point that it's actually hindering her advancement in society, it's her own fault.

Women today, who maintain a respectable sense of self-worth, are able to succeed to an equal degree as a man. The trivial day to day interactions between people matter none. If a guy objectifies women, and I've been accused of such, the worst that can come from it is annoyance. Women are not property. They can vote and own property of their own. They can have high paying jobs and aren't stuck in the kitchen.

An attractive woman is an attractive woman and being seen as such is NOT harmful. Women with an over-exerted sense of being wronged hate to see the agreeable medium that comes when attractive women know they can use their looks to gain, and men are willing to compensate them for it. Those same men most likely go to jobs where they have at least one higher up who has a vagina.

There are excesses. There are ALWAYS excesses. I get annoyed when those excesses are used to define the standard. They're not an accurate depiction of the reality.

As for letting men watch porn, then asking them questions/testing them. That is a flawed study because the overall effect is going to be involving interactions that are NOT face to face. We view celebrities completely different than we view everyday people. We hold those we don't interact with everyday to different standards than we do those we have to sit beside at work, eat dinner with, go to school with. Why? Because when they're on a screen they ARE objects. That is the only side of them that we know of.

The entire argument that sexual situations objectifies women is so blanket it doesn't accurate define the question that should be asked/statement that should be made.

Do I view the women in a porno as sexual objects? Yes. If I met them on the street would I? Not likely. I know strippers. I have the same conversations with them as I have with any other person. And those who have met me can attest that I am nothing at all like what you see on citizen.

People should look around and SEE instead of being told what to believe. Studies are biased. There hasn't been a study conducted EVER that was conducted just because. There was always an agenda. There is always an outcome somebody, left or right, good or bad, up or down, object or human, hopes to come from them. Those outcomes would be regional at best. Influenced at worst. Misleading in application, in general.
