We always hear criticism of men because they make women sex objects and don’t pay attention to the woman under the skin, but that isn’t our fault, and it is what makes the differences between sexes exciting for men (and women)

I know this is going to be difficult for some of you to accept, but the fact is that women objectify younger men, too. On internet forums where women talk to each other, they pass around photos of young men with cobblestone abs and full heads of hair. They don't care how much money the guy makes. They want him to look "hot." So, men and women are really not so different in that regard.

And whoever released this photo of Crawford more likely did so to be vindictive. That is, if someone released this photo without Crawford's permission, that someone wasn't making a statement against the objectification of women. She (or he) was just being catty.

Some famous women have been releasing their own make-up-free, un-retouched photos in response to criticism that photoshopping is making little girls feel bad about themselves. So, at first, I thought Crawford had released this photo. But, as it turns out, she didn't release this photo. Someone else "leaked" it. IOW, someone was being very catty. But Crawford might be smart enough to play along.

LOL, that completely isn’t difficult at all for me to accept, The fact that women also sexually objectify men, but if were being honest… When in your entire life have you ever heard any criticism of them for doing so?

It’s almost impossible, as a man to even go a portion of a day without seeing something that criticizes men for doing what God really made us to do!

I certainly have no problem living with that, you got to be who you got to be, but the double standard is indeed irritating.

100% true. I am guilty of quite a bit of objectifying where Benedict Cumberbatch is concerned. I pretend I'm just admiring his talent, but let's face it, I don't have any pics of Joe Pesci in that folder.
