Women: How do you feel about women who don't care when they are objectified?
don’t care to walk around with their professional and academic resume hanging on their neck, and don’t mind men lusting after them on a purely sexual basis?
Are they harming the feminist movement?
No, I don’t think they’re harming the feminist movement. Feminism is about choice. Its their body, let them do with it what they will. As a liberal feminist or independent feminist, I have nothing against porn stars, strippers, etc. It is their body and we can NOT impose our views or morals onto them. To do so would actually harm the movement.
I may not understand WHY these women like to objectify themselves, but I recognize their right and choice to do so.

No, they’re not harming the feminist movement, but I personally find them to be objects of derision. Fortunately, they don’t care.

no, they aren’t because it is their right to make that choice. it doesn’t affect me, but i do feel like they are short-changing themselves.

To me, the term "feminism" has been villified. To me, it merely means requiring equal status to men, including pay and benefits. If women want to be objectified by lusting men, let them. I feel we will keep moving toward equality whether they want it or not.

Are feminists the girls who dont shave their armpits?

This is a two-ended sword. On one hand, you can say these women are demeaning themselves and other women. On the other, you can say that by them wielding the sexual power over men, they are excercising their control over men.

I thought the whole point of feminism is to have the freedom to be what you want, as a woman?
In which case, if that is what the woman wants, then you shouldn’t judge her choices.

I think they’re silly, for lack of a better term, and may in ways hurt the feminist movement, but I really think they make the smart women seem smarter.

I am not a feminist. But they are in fact harming feminist principles. If feminists believe that the objectification of women causes direct harm then, they should agree that all objectification is bad, even in this instance.

i think it shows how shallow and looks/sex based our society is. the truth is, to a lot of these women value their looks more than they value any professional or academic record. why? because that is what society values. lets face it, a "hot" woman is much more highly respected in our society than a woman of good character or a successful woman. and in my generation, it seems that way for guys as well. nomatter what i achieve, i don’t feel i can ever make up for my lacking in the looks department.

I don’t mind being lusted over, and if that’s called being objectified by men, I could really care less…
If a woman is beautiful, what’s so wrong about her getting into a job that shows her body? She can use her looks as an advantage, and I think that pisses other women off, so they start making insults about women who do use their body as a way of making a living by saying she’s an "object" I think women use this word more than men do actually!

Look at it this way, some women lack the talent and education to get ahead in life any other way. But why should they be relegated to some low-wage menial job just because they offend your puritan sensibilities?

Men "lusting after" women is NOT "objectification." And advertising (or not) your professional and academic credentials has nothing to do with it, either.
Real objectification occurs when humans are no longer seen as human, they are reduced to nothing more than "a body," a thing.
And women who don’t mind that kind of objectification are only hurting themselves.

I could never understand a woman who behaved like that, but she’s of no concern to me.
