Hello guy here, I've come to discredit women's opinions.
But seriously I'm a guy and I think the whole sexual object first things retarded, like really retarded.
Most people don't see other people as just one thing, if I see a woman and the first thing that goes through my mind is sex or a relationship, I'm not seeing her as a sexual object first. I'm seeing her as a person, just like I see anyone as person. Sometimes I think of certain qualities first over others.
It's not like I see a women who is doing some job in an office and I think about her in some aspect related to the job. Am I viewing her as a working person first? That's retarded. I view people as people. I don't think most people think the way of viewing people in some pecking order under different qualities.
I don't see a girl and go through a automatic mental checklist of how I view them under different lights.
I don't think when I see someone I know
Sexual object
Close Friend
Proficient Worker
and so on, I think most people view others as a whole person, when different qualities, and sure sometimes the first thing that comes on in our mind is the way someone looks, but that doesn't mean I consider you a sexual plaything over a human being. I don't know if the idea we view woman as sex machines first was just an exaggeration to get some point across, but it isn't true for most men and it's retarded.
