I had drinks this evening with good friends. I shared my feelings of frustration at my inability to present more than a gut response to the question of whether objectification leads to abuse. Their responses:
Objectification may not lead to rape per se but it is symptomatic of a society in which rape occurs.
Pornography, or any act that compromises a woman's dignity, is wrong not only because it is disrespectful but because it perpetuates an image of inferior women.
Fine food for thought, many thanks to my friends!
