        I mean, the statement “those young women, or many of them” is already pretty objectifying. But I also question what he can mean. Is it random selfies taken by women? Is it just seeing women’s bodies devoid of context and sexualizing them? Because that unquestionably would be objectifying, yeah.

          It’s describing them. Objectifying would be closer to “Those hot pieces of ass” or something equivalent. Reducing the individual to component parts.

          But I also question what he can mean.

          People posting their pictures on blast and then getting angry because you looked at them can seem a bit hypocritical. It’s the low-key version of celebrities complaining about being famous.

      Women who post their tits on twitter objectify themselves in the first place.

      When you make your body a commodity, you can’t act surprised when people treat it like one.

      How is this downvoted? Dude literally admits to creeping on women’s profiles so he can ogle their photos. How is he any different from old school weirdos who would whack it to Sports Illustrated?

      This isn’t someone admitting to enjoying porn (which is still a problematic industry in itself but that’s another, more complex, issue). It is someone admitting to looking at regular photos on women’s profiles and fantasizing about their tits.

      That’s textbook objectification of women.

        How fucking dare that creepy disgusting old man look at pictures of young, beautiful women QUEENS on a platform where they’re posting pictures of themselves! This isn’t what the internet is meant for, how dare he!

        Hmm

        Edit: I just had to edit it, to really hammer home the mockery.

        Objectifying women is wrong, but - c’mon. This is the internet, you post pictures of yourself on it and don’t know the consequences? That’s on you, or your parents if you’re below a certain age.

          Cause God forbid we expect men to not by misogynist perverts. Women should just cover head to toe and never show themselves in public because “consequences”, yea?

          Nah fuck that victim blaming mentality. Women should be able to post pictures of themselves online without worrying about perverts objectifying them.

          Men need to learn to be better and held accountable for their shitty behavior.

            I imagine men will start behaving differently right around the time your head becomes unlodged from your ass.

            Showing yourself in public ≠ posting pictures of yourself online. I understand that, for the terminally online, these things are interchangeable. I am sorry to inform you of this, though it’s probably valuable that you learn it now, but they are not.

            This isn’t victim blaming. This is cause and effect.

            I think there’s a difference between experiencing objectification and being objectified but not knowing.

        What’s wrong with whacking it to sports illustrated? Who is being harmed?
