Ye I have no idea how those situations even arise when you suddenly later think it's rape and it's nonviolent, unless it was blackmail. But if it was rape then i feel sorry for you, its not something someone should experience.

I disagree with you. I think we all objectify every single person. Until we get to know them and even then most people are the sum of what they can offer you. Yes you can empathize, sympathize, etc but when it comes down to it a persons value is what you see "this man can fix my car, this woman can cut my hair, this person is hot", with the exception of people you care about or people that evoke emotions and memories.

I don't think objectification is bad at all. It's when you start TREATING people as objects it can be bad for you because most people dislike it and that is not good for you and to an extent them.

When you go through life rarely do you consider most people beyond what they provide you. The casheer is a talking creditcard terminal. The hairdresser is a talking scissor. Sure we enjoy their smile, their words, idle chitchat, but next time you want a haircut its not "oh ill go to sally she's such a nice girl and i dont care she fucked up my hair last time", its "i can get a good haircut for XYZ from person xyz at store abc".

Now people react much more to sexual objectification because its someting ugly women wont experience and theres jealousy, and the other part is that sex for some is oversold as some superspecial thing (which it can be). Also the flipside of sexual objectification is what the vast vaaast majority of men and also ugly women experience: you dont exist until someone needs your services.

So no, objectification is fine. The problem is if you only TREAT people like objects, you'll never connect with anyone and you'll be alone and isolated.

You will be objectified, and that's fine. You shouldn't be afraid of it, even if you were the sexiest woman or man on earth there would still be millions of people not attracted to you.

There is a problem when people get overly selfconscious about what others think about them, which is understandable if someone has fucked with your selfimage and psyche. But luckily you and everyone else has autonomy and agency and decide who you want in your life. People that wouldnt give two shits about you and just want to fuck you? Dont have them in your life.

EVERYONE objectifies, the problem as i said arises when you treat the majority as objects with no consideration for them.
