Objectifying others

[Hermes]

So I happened to see in the index, a thread about girls objectifying boys and there have been plenty of articles written complaining about men objectifying women.

How do people reconcile the fact that it seems to be very common with the complaints?

For me, I would say seeing other people as sexual, and thinking about them sexually is fine but when you meet real people you need to see that it is a real, whole person, i.e. more than just sexual. Also in some situations you need to concentrate on some other aspect of the person. When being taught at school you should be concentrating on what's being taught. When you end up going for as job interview you hope the interviewer will be thinking about how well you can do the job, not how hot or not you are etc.

i agree with that too. our society has gone sexual and people think that what is going over boundaries is considered normal. i think with new media exposure to people who have crossed the line in the past is starting to deter some people from doing it too and bringing normal values back a bit

We all need to treat all people fairly and with respect. No one should be treated like a sexual object. Man or woman. We all need kindness and respect.
