And to lump all objectification together is to disregard the societal problem that it is for women. Men are the ones in power. They make more than women for the same work. They are not oppressed as women are. There are not laws being made by women to invade a man's body with an instrument, to force men to be an incubator with legs.
To say everyone objectifies everyone is akin to saying there are black racists. So what? That doesn't change the fact that it's blacks who are oppressed in this country and that that is the real issue, not white oppression.
I'm glad that you don't want to argue in favor of disrespecting women. I would ask that you reconsider whether or not that SI thread was disrespectful to women since as you can see, many women feel it is. And if you don't understand why they feel that way, I would ask that you not participate in it in order to show respect and consideration to women as a whole on a political discussion board.
Basically my request is just that you and others show consideration even if you don't get what the problem is.
