sarcasm and irony is totally lost on some people - but you're from FLORIDA, so it figures...

3. I am happy for Rio and everything...
but I'm really not happy about the 'women as body parts' bullshit.

12. Refusing to silently tolerate the objectification of women
is not being a victim.

13. I'll say it again
Good grief. And you really believe that women don't objectify men? Please. Get off your soapbox.

Oh yeah, there totally is a huge "boys gone wild!" market. I forgot about that.

Please. Open your eyes.

15. From what I've seen of the women in Rio, they are extremely proud
of their bodies and don't mind that people appreciate their bodies for how beautiful they are. If they don't feel objectified, why should we try and feel it for them?

17. It's one thing to act that way in the context of a party...
or out on the street at Carnival, or in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

It's quite another to use the excuse of discussing the olympics to post gratuitous pictures here, or make coments about "topless parades" or "best breasts contests".

24. Ah! Another expert on objectification
And exactly how much do you know about Brazil? Just the young, beautiful naked women in the better parts of a tourist town? Only ones that matter, right?

21. then you must have a pretty sad sex life...
sometimes, objectivation of a man or woman's body IS called for and is in fact DESIRED!!!

Prudes shouldn't be allowed to have sex anyway...

22. And would you say celebrating the Olympics being awarded to Rio is such an occasion?
It's an excuse, and a lame one.

And you obviously know nothing about my sex life... LOL, me, a prude?! :rofl:

Thanks for the laugh! :)

Try educating yourself about context. It seems you really have no grasp of it at all.

11. Objectification is a national pastime in Brazil.
One of many reasons I would not want my daughter to grow up there.

39. Hey folks, let's pretend to be asexual so the prudes and nannystaters don't get fussy
LAME.

Women love to objectify men they just tend to appear to be less interested in male nudity (I say with good reason perhaps). Women talk about and objectify guys all the time in many more ways from stupid shoes to cars to money to looks, it goes on and on and then trying to enforce folks being fake Quakers isn't feminism nor is deciding what is appropriate for other women for them because you have deemed you know better.
