re: #223 LudwigVanQuixote

such objects - what does the word such refer to. Such implies “as in” What was the “as in?”

That didn’t really make any sense.

In order for your interpretation to be correct, it wold imply me defending RSM.

No, that’s not true. It would just require that your assertion is that some women, through their actions, are capable of turning themselves into objects. That’s not what RSM is saying at all.

There is a real predatory cycle here that revolves around the objectification of women. I am writing in opposition to such objectification when it is done by both mean and women themselves.

Then phrase it this way next time:

The women on Fox use their sexuality to sell propaganda and, in doing so, objectify themselves

That avoids the highly problematic claim that they’re turning themselves into objects.

It is insanely frustrating because I have written this about 700 different ways now.

A large part of the problem was that you took quite awhile to understand the problems with using the loaded language— like slut, whore, etc. So now we’re on to a different problem, and your words are getting parsed more carefully exactly because you’ve already made some rather egregious errors in language and communication.

I’m glad you’re still engaging with this, but saying things like “What is wrong with everyone” is rather insulting to the large number of people who have been trying to get you to understand how it is that you’re mis-communicating.
