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.
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.)
...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.)
