Why It's Completely Okay To Objectify Men
Elite Daily ^ | July 10, 2015 | Alexia DeFata

Ah, the objectification of men.

I hear the cries of sexism already. Men see male strippers in "Magic Mike," shirtless photos of sexy male celebrities in Cosmo and 14 photos of hot guys who have great butts on, yes, Elite Daily and proceed to cry about how they, too, experience discrimination on the same levels as women.

They immediately go up in arms about how they feel sexualized, how it's not fair, and how if it's not okay to objectify women, it shouldn't be okay to objectify men either because that's totally a double standard, and that's totally why feminists are hypocritical bitches and blah, blah, blah.


TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS: feminism; men

It’s always seemed false to me. Kind of, ‘oh yeah, well same to you’ stuff and is pretty childish.

If men and women had the same desires for the same reason, yeah. In other words, no. Objectify me, darling, just be gentle.

I had an Anthropology professor in college. Total stereotype of the unattractive, man-hating lesbian. She didn’t really try to teach Anthropology. She just harped on the topic of domestic abuse. It was her thing. Men were bad. Men were brutal. All men abuse women. All marriages were wracked with domestic abuse, because men were just bad, bad, bad.

I brought in an article from the NYT which showed that something like 60% of domestic abuse consisted of women attacking men.

She said, “Well, they deserve it!!!!!!”

As they say, if the Left didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

A few weeks ago I was in my local bar. Been going there for years. I know everyone in there. A female acquaintance of mine was very intoxicated and came up to say hello. While she was saying hello she reached her hand down and literally grabbed my groin. A lot. I politely moved her hand away multiple times, didn’t make a scene, told her it was nice seeing her and have a great night. Even if I was physically attracted to her, I would’ve declined because she was so drunk. The point is, I never thought about what she did. And next time I see her I will not bring it up. I don’t feel like a “victim” and no one will ever know it happened. Men are different than women.
