Objectification reaches its logical extremes

Or in other words furniture in the shape of (chopped up, distorted) women's bodies.

Jesus, it's not enough that they're objects to be sat on. They're also in high heels, and all either nude or wearing restrictive clothing.

Oh, great, and I was just arguing with someone who actually said "In a materialistic culture where objects are idolized, one would think that [objectifying someone] would be a COMPLIMENT, not a degeneration." Referring to using "it" as a personal pronoun, but same damn issue.

Why do those things exist, Hedge?

I "love" how the site goes from "nature" (WRT "the" female form) to "high heels" without an apparent sense of the ridiculousness of the transition. (Transition, hell -- one word is "nature", and the very next two words are "high heels". I mean, really, what the hell? And the rest of the "high heels" sentence talks about "legs" -- specifically the abstracted, artificial high-heel-shaped "ideal" "female" "leg". It might not even be possible to talk about that site without overuse of scare quotes.)

Your icon makes me think of a (naked, obv.) Doctor Manhattan in high heels as a table or something.

"The giant blue naked guy line: why would you save a piece of furniture you no longer have any steak on?"

...I could get behind that as a form of satire. Oh, and I mean figuratively behind.

(...though it might actually be kinda relevant to my reasoning behind using the icon: Doctor Manhattan may be blue and post-human, but he's still white and male and probably should have kept that in mind.)
