When do you feel objectified?

Question

lol, patrios. fellow Amazon here :P

Answer 1

when someone makes me feel like an object.

Answer 2

About once a week when I cross the busy street outside my apartment to get to my car.  If it's not honking it's cat calling or obvious staring by pedestrians or drivers.

Drives me nuts, because the thing is I'm not dressing inappropriately.  (even if I were, it's still effed up, but would be somewhat expected).  I usually just wear jeans,  t-shirts and flip flops with my hair thrown up in a ponytail.

Answer 3

Once, when a guy grabbed my breast at a club. I was walking through the crowd, headed out the door, and he just reached out and grabbed me, as if I were a dog to be petted. It was the only time I've ever slapped anybody.

Otherwise, I generally don't.

Answer 4

I can't say that I've ever felt that way.

Edit: does this avatar make me look objectified?

Answer 5

I can't say that I do.

I have heard that I objectify people though.

Answer 6

Every time I run into you in the pervy chat.

I'm  human Kiki!  Why cant you see that!?

Edit:  Kiki, I never said I didn't like it.....

Answer 7

when men stare or grab me when I'm out with the ladies... even though I have been told I put out a "fvck off" vibe, so these acts usually don't go unaddressed!

feel yah stars... I've been a d cup since middle school. Men in particular, think they are flattering you, when in fact it is very intrusive... just go about your day and I will go about mine!

Answer 8

Acouple if times when i was in a crowded bar and some chick pinched my *** but quickly walked away in the crowd so i cant tell who it was (well at least i hope it was a chick, but their finger did feel soft) ;)

Answer 9

Never.

I leave that to the over sensitive people looking for a reason to whine about something.

The only way you can be objectified is if you allow someone to make you feel that way.

I have always chosen not to give that power to anyone.

Answer 10

When a man is staring at me as if I am a statue without regarding how I may feel about this behavior.

Answer 11

Always. I think it's because I am a vegetable and am not able to communicate (I have a telepathic keyboard). I really am just another object in a room. My Mom has a vase filled with tulips sitting on my lap right not. I can't believe how callous your question is.

Answer 12

I only have once, in tenth grade, and that was resolved quickly.

Answer 13

Never. I m NOT close-minded to THAT extent. :-D

Edit : Lol Robert G & Jason ! :-D

Answer 14

All the time.  Women are pigs!  Just keep your hands off of me, I'm not a piece of meat!  And stop staring at my crotch, I'm up here!!!

Answer 15

Whenever someone expects me to pay for a date without discussing the matter beforehand.

Answer 16

The way you have phrased this question makes me feel like a peice of meat...

Answer 17

Every time my b***s are leered at, called "darlin'", "honey", "sweetie", checked out in the grocery store and treated like an idiot when I take my car into the shop. Basically everyday.

Answer 18

I'm a 34F and 5'2. It is fair to say quite often, from the time I hit puberty, I have been oggled and leered and unneccessary comments have been made. And I am never going to think 'you have great b*****s' from a potential suitor of 3weeks is a compliment, it just is not. I even left the country when I was 17, walking along Friedrichstasse in Berlin and had an odd German guy who looked like he dropped out of a porno or a g*y discotheque remark loudly in front of my fellow students and teachers (it was a class trip) I have a great body, in perhaps, the only English words he knows! This is not bragging, I mean to highlight the absurdity of lascivious males!

I made an eccentric joke of it and said 'I hope he is talking about my hair' Hair-body! Okay it was a very bad joke, that possibly only I got!

Answer 19

When I hear doctors and polticians talking about how bad babies with Down Syndrom & Autism are ... when I hear about women who've waited till their old, and ask scientists to do "Frankenstein" stuff, and get them a baby.

Answer 20

When people ask me if I'm *just* a stay at home Mum... nope - I'm a h**l of a lot more than that!

Answer 21

It's not over my gender.  It's over my height.  Men sometimes go on for the first thirty minutes we meet in gushing shock over my height, like my height is what I AM.  Get over it . . . well, use a step ladder to get over it.  lol
