thoughtful answer.

on the SI thread and the others, really on most threads discussing the objectification of women, i challenge you to find any feminist, you know, members of hof that talked about the girls looks, dissing them in any way. but, recognize that we were discussing the issue of presenting them as a fuck, the pose, the glorification on a sports type magazine, having the young bods to entertain the men in objectification, media, society, the influences of us. the big picture. not the girls.

i know many of the women that defend the objectification of women tried to push the argument back on us that we were dissing youngs girls body, or these young womens choices.

repeatedly i told these women defending objectification that the girls themselves and their choice, was insignificant to what we were talking.

i could not get the women that defend the objectification away from the accusation that we were dissing the girls. otherwise, they had no way to argue the issue. you know. a strawman. a faux argument. an argument totally created for no other reason, but an unwillingness to actually address the issues.

you put a hag picture up of us women.

come in and applaud this thread

part of the crowd high fiving delivering a fake argument

refusal to acknowledge that we are way beyond the feminism 101 shit

what is that? please explain it to me. i would like to understand. because all i see is a whole lot of game playing.
