I have no idea what you are talking about.



You said "One other part of sexism is sexual objectification, which reduces the person or whole gender to an instrument of sexual pleasure."

And I said that nobody was reduced to being just a sexual object.


The screen literally just had tits. The whole point of the app was to look at tits. There was nothing else of a woman involved. They really did just take the "tits" part and exclude the rest!


Yeah, great argument. So if you hear a drum, you have no concept of a drummer?

No, you're right - men who see just a pair of tits think "that's all I need - nothing attached, just the tits pleaze, tyvm."


I'm not talking about every guy on the planet. But I think it's very clear that whoever made this app thought, "Know what? We should make an app that just has tits. Nothing else, just tits."

More to the point: the women are being used in a way that is completely determined by the user of the app, instead of being given any kind of consideration as people.


Tits are part of people. I have tits. People have tits and I like people and I like their tits. Without people, there are no tits. How many different ways can I say this? I don't like tits that are disconnected from people. That's disgusting.

If I am staring at a woman's tits - I am certainly giving her whole person my consideration, even though my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. WTF would I do with just a pair of tits?

No, the reason I'm looking is that I probably want more.


I am certainly giving her whole person my consideration

This app removes the women's ability to participate in the exchange at all. They have no control and are presented in a way that is completely in control of the user. When you remove her ability to decide how her body is being used, you are not considering her as a whole person. It's not about tits.
