Off topic for this thread I guess, I don't know know if it warrants a whole new thread, but that's a question I ask myself all the time, and I honestly don't know.
I don't think appreciating attractive women is in itself objectification any more than appreciating smart women is. And I don't think that a woman being sexual is the bad thing that society sometimes makes it out to be (a girl seeking sex is seen different than a boy seeking sex).
OTOH some of the comments in the thread make me cringe a bit inside, but it's really difficult for me to judge where the line is. It's not like having a bikini babe poster in a workplace since it's only visible if one chooses. EDIT: But I also agree that in general women are far too often treated as objects rather than subjects in media and advertising and that's a serious problem. And no doubt some of the pictures in it were created as objectification.
Is having the thread itself misogynistic?
