Wow… You do realize that those two sentences say exactly the same thing.

No, they don’t.


Since the definition of objectify is to turn something into an object, I am at a loss. What else could it mean?

It means to treat something as though it’s an object. Not to turn it into an object.


As to temper tantrums about who has the right to be offended by things, what about my right to be offended by odious behavior?

Nobody is objecting to you being offended, so this seems a rather moot point.

However, you are reading into my words all sorts of things that prevent you from seeing a point believe you would agree with.

Not really. I’m mainly reacting to how long it took you to understand the problem with using words like whore, slut, etc. to disparage women who you think are using their sexuality to achieve evil ends.

That said, the many many very pro woman posts I have made ought to give me the benefit of the doubt if there is a question of interpretation.

I’m sorry, but the post where you attempt to defend the use of language like whore, slut, etc. is a hurdle to get past. I don’t think you’re in any way anti-woman. However, I do think that you’re human.
