The clear implication was that this woman was reduced to a sex object. I'm unwilling to hear any rationalization as for why that's totally acceptable. It's not a revolutionary concept that making lewd comments that negate a woman's worth is inappropriate in public places.

I wouldn't say she was reduced to a sex object. No one claimed she's only good for sex and absolutely nothing else in life. This is the part that I don't understand upsets people. We aren't negating a woman's worth just by finding her attractive. Even if we say we want to have sex with said woman, again, that does not negate her worth as a person. I'm sure this woman is great at a good number of things. But of course the thing that stands out immediately is her attractiveness. Just because she's very attractive does not reduce her only to a sex object nor does it negate her worth in any way. It seems like you are negating her worth by saying an attractive woman can't be good at anything else. And I'm willing to believe she is good at any number of things.

As to whether it relates to ASMR, well like I mentioned in my above post, for some women it is a big part of their large volume of views. Some of them push that line into sexiness on purpose. It is a part of ASMR for some people, it's just not what I look for in ASMR.

The key for me is not repressing male sexuality (which is what this kind of feminism is aiming to do), but encouraging female sexuality. For the record, I have no problem hearing women gush over attractive men. The girls at work where doing it the other day over a picture of a shirtless man on a phone (it was technically after we all got off and were walking towards our cars). I'm happy to live in a country where they can do that. 200 years ago that kind of behavior would not have been acceptable for women. Do I believe they are reducing that man's worth as a person, or treating him as a sex object? No. I just believe they find him attractive, and would love to have sex with him (if they weren't married as they were and under the right circumstances).

Whoops, I realized I called them the girls at work. Again that does not diminish their worth at all as human beings. I often hear women refer to men as boys, I don't feel like that reduced the worth of men. Usually that's only when another man calls another man a boy (and usually in a particular inflection of voice). And realistically, your worth as a person comes not from what other people say, but how you feel about yourself. Or in some cases, the laws of the country you live in.

Sounds like an interesting work place Although usually you'd be doing it over a picture before you got off surely?
