I feel very strongly about this. And it’s something I’ve been giving much thought to recently.

And when we tread on a path that isn’t ours, we must be careful. For no matter how much we believe to know and understand, we can never fully comprehend the depth nor length of the matter.

So, create space for, and pardon my ignorance, if indeed there is.

Having watched closely, especially young women, in contrast with the message on the media, that feminist advocates, which is, men sexually objectify women, I felt there’s more to it. And such conclusive comments do not paint the whole picture.

My take is that, most women, especially the young ones today, sexually objectify themselves.

Though there’s an argument that can be made, that it’s the product of societal influence, howbeit, we can find women, even of the same age and demography not sexually objectifying themselves through their dressing.

Like you stated, you called yourself out on the purpose behind the outfit you picked. You saw it for what it was—wanting to take advantage of your sexuality.

I think that’s the issue. Young women know the power/validation/attention they can gain by looking a certain way. And they crave it.

Leaving in a world today where feminism has made more advancement in recorded history, aren’t our women free to choose how they look and come across to society?

The women in the entertainment industry, both Hollywood and the music industry, who we can argue have more influence, power and wealth than the average woman, are they too not pioneering these sexual objectification of themselves?
You only have to watch them on red carpet to see my point.

So am wondering, in todays world, is it just men that are sexually objectifying women, or the men are simply addressing these women they way they dress?
