Regarding having to explain objectification a million times [View all]
We have had plenty of discussions about objectification on this site. We've had videos and clearly articulated explanations. That some people continue to make comments about feminists wanting to "control what women wear" or not believing men can find a woman both attractive and intelligent means they are deliberately disrupting threads on gender issues. I say we stop feeding them and just ignore them. There are only a few possible explanations for that behavior: they willfully misrepresent and trivialize arguments; they don't care enough about women's rights and the views of hundreds of DUers to bother trying to understand; they lack the intellectual capacity to understand; they are right-wing trolls; or a combination of the four. I think the explanation varies from cases to case. Regardless, they aren't worth the energy it takes to argue with them, and I think ignoring them would actually piss them off more than anything.
Anyway, that's my two cents.
