When I stand by the window, I don’t stand to the side. I stand in the middle and smile at them when they notice me. You see, I like to watch them being watched.

Reading a report about a watcher who likes the watched to watch back: Surveillance pornography!

Isn’t every mental/psychological event simultaneously a biological/physiological/physical event?

And on a thematically-related note, are nonsexual compliments to women (in addition to men) by two men that are strangers to them necessarily sexual harassment or just likely sexual harassment?

“There’s nothing wrong with objectification as long as we’re objectifying everybody.”

Actually, that’s a neat question: Is that statement true? It is pointedly not true in a literal reading of Christian morality (Mark 5:27-29):

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.

I don’t like the second verse: Thoughtcrime is morally reprehensible. And look at the punishment!

Still: If all the men were blind, then objectification of women wouldn’t be an issue — amirite, ladies?

But in advertising there’s a rule of thumb: Men look at an ad and say, “I want her”; Women look at an ad and say, “I want to be her.”

That’s why businesstards use women to advertise EVERYTHING.
