Attraction is Objectification

Postby Four-sided Triangles » Thu Dec 22, 2011 6:03 pm

http://scienceblogs.com/notrocketscienc ... glance.php

At last, proof of my ideas. No man should ever be attracted to a female body because it has the effect of objectification. Note, however, that females staring at male bodies does not produce the same effect.

I'm vindicated. All sexual attraction is objectification. You can't get out of it.
This is why gay marriage will destroy American families.
Gays are made up of gaytrinos and they interact via faggons, which are massless spin 2 particles. They're massless because gays care so much about their weight, and have spin 2, cause that's as much spin as particles can get, and liberals love spin. The exchange of spin 2 particles creates an attractive force between objects, which is why gays are so promiscuous. When gays get "settle down" into a lower energy state by marrying, they release faggon particles in the form of gaydiation. Everyone is a little bit gay, so every human body has some gaytrinos in it, meaning that the gaydiation could cause straight people to be attracted to gays and choose to turn gay.

We get it you hate sex and sexuality. What you seem to fail to understand is the rest of the world actually likes sex and sexuality and you aren't going to win many if any supporters to your side on this issue because we are biologically hardwired to love fucking.

Every day NationStates tells me I have one issue. I am pretty sure I've got more than that.

Your source doesn't say that being attracted to women has the effect of objectification. Nice try, though.

Still don't see how attraction is a bad thing, being that it is necessary to promulgate the human race.

Except not. All this says is that when women THINK they're being objectified by men, they become significantly unnerved, while men just don't give a shit. This is a matter of societal influence rather than "Lol, everything is objectification".

Any outward manifestation of male attraction toward females appears to cause them psychological harm.

The fact that I'm attracted to women doesn't mean I see them as sub human or that they only exist so I can have sex with them...

So basically, you're saying that because women in this study shrunk under men looking at them, and became less talkative, that is proof positive that women are inferior to men, and are by their very biological nature silenced and objectified by men being attracted to them. (I will leave aside the false equivalence your thesis places in the male gaze and attraction. You don't have to like what you're looking at to glare at it)

I honestly don't know how you pretend that you in any way believe in feminism or feminine empowerment. In truth, you're the worst sexist of them all, and you hide your sexism under the puritanical guise of whiteknighting.

It never said anything about sexual attraction in and of itself, it talked about sexual objectification in our society. You constantly treat patriarchy as a given. You are the opposite of a feminist.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I think it's ok to be attracted to a female body, because a healthy good looking body that attracts you means that she has a good chance of being biologically good enough to pass down your genes with you. Thus, as you've been attracted to her good healthy body, you're subconsciously keeping the human race healthy as you continue to pass down healthiness...
And so it was, that I had never changed.

You keep getting further and further away from what the paper actually says.

And this statement is probably the most vile and terrible lie I've ever seen in print. There's a huge body of literature on the correlation between self-esteem and feeling that others are attracted to you, regardless of gender.
