Gendered objectification

I appreciate your input, but if I may the point of pointing out that we ladies have to “endure” this here, too, of all places, is actually the point.

This is a blog of wonderful things, full of interesting people and dialogue and dare I say intellect. And yet, even here, even among a group of people that would bristle (and do) and even the slightest hint of sexism or racism or any sort of bigotry. Even here, we must “endure” the objectification of women because boobs are funny, apparently.

Thats the point of this, and its an excellent jumping off point for a larger conversation. Granted we’re being a little tongue in cheek about it, but I think its a valid and important conversation.

And so far, no one’s posted anything that doesn’t air on prime time TV. So totes family safe. (Ok, maybe my Tom Hardy is close to the line…)
