Comment on What's your test for people?

  I wasn’t saying we are conditioned to find women sexy. I’m saying we have been conditioned to treat women as sex objects and not sexy people. There is a big difference.

  The clue is in the name. Objectification is when you treat someone like a thing to be desired, and not like a whole human being with thoughts and desires of their own. When you act like getting you aroused is their sole purpose and/or the only value they possess.

  It’s a learned behavior like racism or misogyny. And no, It won’t always happen, not once we evolve enough emotionally as a species to treat all human beings with love and respect.

    You are right, I didnt really understand. I have never treated any woman as a pure object like that. How would that even work…

    I didnt really think about what objectified meant… I havent ever thought of a woman like that so its hard to imagine.
