“Ultimately, the feminist concept of "objectification" is based on the idea that male desires are illegitimate or unimportant.”
You desire sex. That’s natural.
Objectification is when you treat a woman as if sex is the ONLY thing she can offer. Treating her like a sex object makes your desires illegitimate.
You’re ignoring her as a person,just as life support and vehicle for a vagina.
“From the feminist perspective, men are just supposed to serve women without asking for or expecting anything in return.”
That’s not feminism.
Sounds a lot more like chauvinism, but with the gender swapped.
“Without having their own independent and legitimate desires.”
You’re allowed to have your desire, sweetie. But being treated like a functioning person is one of THEIR desires. Just consider it a transaction, an investment. Treat her like a person who has a vagina, not a vagina with an emotional attachment.
“In other words, the concept of "objectification" is itself rather objectifying.”
No, it’s not. This is just you pretending that your snit is a rationally thought out response.
“In any event, "objectification" is like any other feminist concept in that it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.”
Well, your caricature doesn’t stand up to it, but you’re using that as a strawman anyway. It’s not supposed to stand up.
