Brute Reason

A collection of thoughts about psychology, social justice, and anything else I give a shit about.

Pointing out that men notice they have female relatives is not actually an argument for the claim that men see women as “three dimensional human beings.” The sisters, daughters, wives and mothers are still defined strictly by the men in their lives. And again, there’s no reason to think that because a man finds a woman sexy, he is forced to view her as an object for use, instead of another human being he can fantasize about doing things with. Not all sexiness is objectification. Instead of punting blame around or treating sexism as inevitable, why not have a more honest conversation about why it’s so profitable to objectify women? Then, just maybe, we could move on to the harder conversation about what it would take to change that.
