Men do not objectify women in film out of fear of castration, because women don't have penises...

[Writer]

they do so because WOMEN HAVE VAGINAS!!!

Why does a simple biological response need to be so horrifically hyperintellectualized?

It's all bullshit, I tell you. All bullshit.

1. Wha? Huh? In English please?

[Writer]

4. Bad journeys through feminist theory, man.

Bad journeys...

[Danger Mouse]

6. Who cares about any of this stuff, anyway?

[mcctatas]

2. The first time my daughter saw a naked baby boy she was

probably about two and she said "Baby Hunter has an owie on his vagina" So much for penis-envy being the norm :)

[Left Is Write]

3. I think penis envy is a crock of shit anyway.

5. I think Freud was the original douchebag

with mommy issues :evilgrin:

[Writer]

8. What's even worse is a feminist theorist who mixes Freud with Marxist logic.

Geesh...

[mcctatas]

14. ala the Frankfurt School of thougt

24. Ok you guys

are hurted my brane!!

7. We objectify women because women have neato in-and-out-bits that we

want to play with. We're uncertain of our ability to convince women to let us play with said bits, so we objectify women to remove (in our imaginations) the possibility of rejection.

If women would grant us access to those bits on a frequent, permanent, and unquestioned basis, we would lose our insecurity and the objectification would stop.

9. We objectify women because testosterone makes us weak and stupid

i.e. the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

[Radical Activist]

10. huh

I consider myself a feminist but I can only handle so much academia-feminism. I've seen too many women use it as a cover for their sexism.

11. you say hyperintellectualized as though your job didn't depend on it

As an academic, hyperintellectualization to the point of irrecognizability is part of the job description ;)

[Writer]

15. My rules as a Gen X academic...

Say what you mean, mean what you say, and cut the BS.

[fishwax]

18. but you can't redefine the academy (or its discourse) until you're fully admitted

As a fellow grad student myself, I sympathize :toast:

[Writer]

19. I don't wish to enter the academy, actually...

or that's my plans for now.

Perhaps later I'll penetrate that institution, but right now, I prefer to remain virginally independent.

[fishwax]

21. lol n/t

[RadiationTherapy]

12. I objectify everyone.

And I never lose focus of my nefarious plans.

[Writer]

13. I like your bulbous head...

wait, what am I WRITING! x(

[RadiationTherapy]

17. It's cool, I am a writer too.

I love your claustrophobia inducing slot-machine of mojo..

Wait..AHHH! It's happening to me now!

[Robeson]

16. Kick and rec.

[Bonobo]

20. We objectify women because we haaaaaaate them! You discovered out secret.

For a writer, your OP was rather, umm, poorly written.

[Writer]

22. And you have a typo, sucker! n/t

[crimsonblue]

23. maybe we just like boobs.

[CreekDog]

25. You know, I don't have an opinion on this

should I? :shrug:
