| Subject: Why our bar for what constitutes good sex is too low (and how it's harming young women) Mon Jan 22, 2018 12:58 am | |
| "He totally objectified me," a 20-someting woman told me of her encounter with a customer who addressed her breasts rather than her face.
I get a case of the warm and fuzzies when I hear such talk, not because I want to see women objectified, but because sexist behaviour is being labelled for what it is. Far from the problem that has no name, women are using the full vocabulary to describe their experiences of sexism. Once confined to the tutorial room, words and phrases such as "patriarchy", "misogyny", "gender pay gap", and "domestic equality", are now part of everyday language.
