And realize no man is ‘horrified’ when he see’s massive throngs of females all itching to slit each others throats and trample the bodies of their boyfriends as they go into a hyperventilating fit at the *idea* that they can possibly get Justin Timberlake or Beiber to notice them, much less touch them, much less take them backstage.

No one is horrified when we realize that a woman smile a wry smile to a well built man in a suit. No one is horrified when her vagina tingles when holding onto a man for dear life on the back of a crotch rocket bike. No one is horrified that a woman would drop her jobless man who spends his days playing xbox for wealthy media mogul Ronaldo when he asks her to come with him to spend a weekend at a chalet in the swiss alps.

Objectification isn't a scientific concept. Dash87 Feb 2013 #19

It is presented as an allegedly scientific concept. And unless YOU are the one doing the Warren DeMontague Feb 2013 #20
