Objectification is not male chauvinism

[Politruk]

historically, and with the probable exception of the Isle of Lesbos... but times change and in the past 50 years these outdated concepts are being eroded in most westernised nations. Nowadays, there are more and more women in top-flight positions, earning their own way, developing technology, standards, business models or copying the previous 'male-dominated' ones but replacing the top dog with a top bitch. Women's sports have grown exponentially, and it feels an outdated concept to younger people today that 'things women do' are less important than their male counterparts' achievements.

Things don't stand still, and I sense you are playing devil's advocate since most your posts don't suggest this deep-seated stance about men/women.

I should have said, "in all premodern human cultures." Cultures where men could dominate women just by being bigger and stronger.

Well, perhaps "degrading" would be a better word than "exploitive" for the point the documentary was trying to make, But it did hammer really hard on "female sexual slave." They made the point that what a man really wants is a woman kneeling before him, worshiping him by sucking on him. And they showed a scene where a man was holding a gun while a woman knelt and fellated it.

Not this man. Power over anyone or anything isn’t exciting to me.
