      The girl in the OP post arguably overdid things a little, but it’s her body, her choice

      This right wing one just fell of a cliff straight into the abyss of uncanny valley nightmares. What the fuck is that even, it’s not human

        the appeal she lost was that the tats and piercings make it abundantly clear she’s over 18, and college attendance shows she’s not going to be easy to manipulate and take advantage of. you know. because she’s an educated adult. that’s the big turn off. trust me. that’s ALWAYS the turn off. this guy would say all sorts of nasty stuff about her body if the average 14 year old had tats and piecings.

    I hate this so much. This is objectification dialed up to 11. This young woman has value, but only her appearance and only if she dresses and acts how most conservatives want. 🤮 And they all get a say in how she presents herself!

    “Loving” as in “if you so much as think about self-determination, you’ll get guilt-tripped, emotionally manipulated and berated for defying God’s plan”? Because those conditions tend to produce the type of person that doesn’t act up as a teen, but once they reach adulthood and taste freedom, they go all out, with mixed results. Tats and piercings certainly aren’t the worst outcome.

      Oh come on, be honest.

      We all objectify all day and as long as you do it in your head and know how to act and react normal, it’s fine. Whatever anyone does in their head is fine as long as it stays there.

      Anytime I hear someone say that they would never objectify anyone I feel this huge “let he who is without sin cast the first stone” kind of thing. We’ve all looked at someone else and thought "habbah habbah.

      Just, again, keep it to yourself.

      Some people like the girl without the tattoos on the left, others like the girl with the tattoos in the right. So? Just let her decide for herself and find someone else if you don’t like it

        ITT: People not keeping it to themselves.

        Agreed, thinking is not a crime. Replying to a mysogenist’s rant with, “Well he’s not wrong” is objectively mysogeny. Which is also not a crime, but we can do better.

          Not really. Sexual attraction is merely something you feel. Objectification is when you let that dominate your view of someone. When you reduce them to nothing but a sexual object. You can feel sexual attraction without it being primary factor in how you see someone.

          when your whole public assessment of others is explaining your ability to be sexually attracted to them, then yes. really gotta notice your publicly talking about someone for a lot of them to happen.

    It’s a very effective strategy, because speaking as a queer woman, I would see the person on the right and think “personal experience tells me this person might belong to the alphabet mafia, so perhaps I could buy her a drink”

    Yeah, not everything is meant to be evaluated through personal attraction. People grow for themselves, not an audience.

    Saying “After 2 years with college professors” seems creepy to me, like he thinks college professors are supposed to take over the parents’ role.

      They think education is flawed. It’s part of the GOP indoctrination. What you’re saying is morbidly comical, but the real reason is how the Right regard education.

        It’s crazy. They literally treat a lack of knowledge like a badge of honor. They genuinely believe they deserve a gold star for proactively avoiding knowing shit. It’s real. It’s wild.

      And wild that he thinks that the professors are giving out fashion advice rather than calculus and shit.

      And it wasn’t professors who taught her to respect and value people who weren’t like her, it was just meeting them.

        My physics professor was the most physics professor looking physics professor the world has ever produced. He was definitely not giving out fashion tips.

        Unless of course you are a fan of ugly brown woollen affairs and tweed jackets with patches on the elbows.

          My physics professor was Italian and a very snappy dresser. Although, he also wore shorts and soccer jerseys some days.

          Very funny guy and could do trig out to several decimal places in his head. He was one of those rare professors that was doing research but still a great teacher. He was responsible for making math ‘click’ for me and helped me realize the joy of math.

            He’s got to have memorised that before class, or has memorised a bunch of common angles. The formula I remember using for them is a mess and doesn’t converge quickly.

          My Physics professors literally wore pocket protectors, with pens in them. They were also both ultra-marathoners which is surprisingly common among that species.

          My physics prof wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned slide on sandals. Normal business casual other than that, unless you count hair that hadn’t been bruised in a decade. Year round even in snow. And rode his bike to campus like that daily. Very fun dude.
