    Why does sexual appeal indicate objectification? Can't we be attracted to someone & still see them as a person?https://twitter.com/jfk2k71/status/884007634973716481 …

    Vibe of intellectual or emotional meaning, but the vibrant vibe of sexuality, and overt objectification.

        Quite the inverse. Sexual attraction to objects is frowned upon. Quite severely for men. Sexual interest is *humanising*

        I'd argue that we should probably investigate anybody that believes otherwise... Sounds a bit... sociopathic... even serial killer-y to me.

        Bit of playful hyperbole, but ppl genuinely need to examine their own motives w/ sex neg rhetoric. Much of it is empty virtue signalling imo

        This seems like an attempt to reintroduce sexual guilt and original sin by the back door.

        Exactly. I didn't think that people needed to conceal their feelings in a covert manner due to shame and guilt, but I thought they were

        Amazingly, I can hold 3 thoughts in my head at the same: I can fancy a woman AND respect her AND engage with her about non-sexual matters...

        Exactly! I don't get this either/or option. You can be attracted to both looks *and* personality.

        If humans couldn't do this, humans probably wouldn't exist at all. That said, some people are way better than this than others.

        Sometimes it is as if feminisms covertly conceal the fact that if you only see sex in a person, that's one of the most human experiences

        Sexual appeal is seductive and human in it of itself. If that's all you see, you are seeing a person still.
