Research from the Geena Davis Institute ...

Wait, what, the what now?

Geena Davis?

You mean this Geena Davis? She has an institute?

Founded by Academy-Award® winning actor and advocate Geena Davis in 2004, The Institute is the first and only research-based organization working within the media and entertainment industry to engage, educate, and influence content creators, marketers and audiences about the importance of eliminating unconscious bias, highlighting gender balance, challenging stereotypes, creating role models and scripting a wide variety of strong female characters in entertainment and media that targets and influences children ages 11 and under.

Now I've seen everything ...

Sexual desire and sexual objectification are two very different things. Desire is a feeling someone has for a specific person, they are humanised more, not less, by being desired. Objectification is the opposite, it dehumanises.

Say what?

An objectified woman is nothing but a collection of body parts, interchangeable with any other objectified woman. She exists only to provide gratification to the man gazing at her.

What about woman who gaze at her?

Both men and women feel less empathy for sexually objectified women. They are perceived as less moral. People are less concerned if they are harmed, less likely to report violence done to them, and more likely to blame them for that violence if it occurs.

They're just making this shit up as they go along.

While women play with expressing sexiness for a variety of reasons, most men respond to sexual women the same way: they assume (wrongly) that any woman displaying sexuality is available for sex.

This is the same insanity that feminism has been claiming for decades.

This is hilarious. How about a collage of "objectified" men advertising underwear, perfume, cologne, clothes, sports, etc?

Didn’t the American apparel owner get me too’d before that was a thing? I remember hearing so much shit about that company when I was a high schooler.

Adverts sexualised everything. Men, women, cars. There's no point in complaining or seeking change in only one area.

Adverts also play on hopes and fears, using massive amounts of emotional manipulation.

How dare women have sexuality and men want to fuck them!

Ok, let's ban pornography then. It must be easy, it's not like it is a multi-billion dollar industry.
