I would say that this IS objectification, but the context we live in dictates that men are affected differently by objectification than women.
\nI would say that this IS objectification, but the context we live in dictates that men are affected differently by objectification than women. <\/p>\n
it’s still kind of harmful, but I think it’s quite clearly worse for women \u2013 if only for the reason that most people agree that it’s worse for women. the slut\/stud dynamic is relevant here (even if you personally don’t buy it).<\/p>\n
men \u2013 particularly white men (because ethnic men get stereotyped in their own way, black men get stereotyped as hyper-masculine\/aggressive, etc) \u2013 get to be objectified and then go back to being complex, complicated, multi-faceted human beings. Nobody is going to take Justin Trudeau less seriously as a PM because there are shirtless pictures of him out there \u2013 but the same would not be true for a female PM. <\/p>\n
It’s all about context. Objectification is generally not a good idea (and this article is pretty shitty). But “the standards don’t apply equally”, because the costs are unequal
