Straying from the standard line of feminist thought, Nussbaum defends Sunstein’s idea, arguing that there are circumstances in which being treated as a sex object, a 'mysterious thinglike presence,' can be humanizing, rather than morally harmful."<br />*******************<br />Amen. Feminists fretting over being objectified would keel over and die if they knew how many post-menopausal women look at young women - because they are NUBILE*, sexy young things. I do this ALL the time when I am out and about "Wow, I remember when I turned heads like that" or "Dayum, I remember when my waist that tiny and I could wear the hell out of skirt that tight." Do I give a shit about you as a person when I am doing this? No. I am looking at you as a purely sexual object.<br /><br />Feminists have no clue. When they get done stamping out the male tendency to look at sexy women as...sexy women, then can then turn their attention to the much larger, constantly growing issue of middle aged and older women objectifying young women.

In fact having dignity and self-respect is so much better than having a "safe space" to run to that I wonder why more women don't try this tack.<br /><br />2.

It does not need nor benefit from the attempt. That's why you talk about it and complain about it more than you do it. Just get down and have some fun. You have no ability nor even the mindset to make it better than it is when simply experienced as the heat and abandon that fully describes it in its natural state. Just open the gift and throw the wrapping around the room for god's sake. Literally for God's sake. bagoh20https://www.blogger.com/profile/10915174575358413637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-39300037293869019622016-07-18T22:57:09.165-05:002016-07-18T22:57:09.165-05:00"Things men did to Martha Nussbaum..."
..."Things men did to Martha Nussbaum..."<br /><br />Wait a minute. I am perfectly OK with the idea that Cass Sunstein is an Enemy of Mankind, and I shall not mourn his passing, but what exactly did he "do to" Martha Nussbaum? <br /><br />Actually, it sounds like the first guy made a pass at her, which she did not appreciate, and then Sunstein made a pass at her, which was more to her liking. And in both cases her reaction may not have been "conventionally feminist" (what, she didn't rip off her bra, burn it, and found a silly magazine?), but it sounds pretty unremarkable. Like most mammalian females, she was able by signs, gestures and utterances to select the mate she desired and reject the one she did not. Thus continues the species.
