We are always judged, unless we are hermits. And even then the seagulls will judge us.

And it we aren't, eventually we just gotta choose company who loves us regardless.

That's why there are dogs and cats.

The meaning of objectify:

ob·jec·ti·fy Audio pronunciation of "objectify" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-jkt-f)
tr.v. ob·jec·ti·fied, ob·jec·ti·fy·ing, ob·jec·ti·fies

1. To present or regard as an object:
2. To make objective, external, or concrete:

As I said, there is nothing inherently dehumanizing about the objectification of people.

Then I'm looking forward to reading your explanation of how you can still consider an object a person.

I'd rate Donald Trump a 3. With all that money why can't he fix his fucking hair? And I'd hate to think of what he looks like naked. Ick.

Jenny, Susan: I regard my body as an object. I regard myself as a person. I the person am in connection with the object that is my body -- after all, I live there. I also regard objects as sometimes conscious and having spirits of their own.

So I see nothing wrong with objectifying my body, and in fact, find it liberating. It prevents me from identifying myself with my body too seriously -- an important thing to me, because I used to do that and it tended to cause me low-grade stress all the time.

This may make more sense when I mention that I'm not (or am only rarely) female gender-identified EXCEPT at work.

Also, I have a very weird and abstract mind. :D

As with my house, I make sure to take good care of my body, because I live there and I want it to be a good experience. My house and body both affect how I experience the world. I want them to look and feel pleasing to me.

Just as I don't let random strangers traipse through my house unless for a VERY good reason, I'm not willing to work as an escort or do heavy contact dances. My body is an object that I depend on, and which depends on me.

Hey, did NO ONE get my reference in page 2? ;)

It's the best hair money can buy. Besides it is his second trademark. I don't trust the man, but I won't rate him.

Putting Numbers on People- This statement will totally come back to haunt me, but if I was born a man, I'd be a PigDogManWhore. I'd f*ck anything that moved. I'd f*ck mud. Zero, ten, anything in between, wham, bam, next, ma'am. My excuse would be "I love life." LOL
