Guilty Skeptic

I'm just trying to recognize the differences between the sexes and how it is expressed in a population, not on the individual level.

You're assuming some essential differences between the sexes which, in my experience, are neither universally true nor helpful. Are you insisting that these differences exist or that to defy them is either unmanly or unwomanly? It's okay to recognise biases we might have, but you seem rather insistent that it's 'just so'.

So you don't think there's a problem with women sexualizing themselves?

I think choice feminism is a vacuous term, but it's murky territory to talk about how liberating or not women sexualising themselves is. The reason that women are able to so is because women are objectified and sexualised – in essence, commodified – for male consumption, and this can play into how women are generally regarded.

Not too many men sexualize themselves for fame, money, and success. Most men use their brains and skills.

It's misogynistic to imply that most women don't use their brains and skills. Do you think more than 50% of women are models?
