What part of the brain does looking at pictures of ugly women activate? The Fiske Zone?

“Since when is being a normal man make him automatically sexist?”

Since Liberals took over the position of Thought Cops in the ‘60’s.

What lights up if shown a picture of Hillary or Pelosi?
Half naked? You're a sick puppy.

Why doesn't anyone ever seek to place some responsibility on women?

Because very few men complain. Why ruin a good thing? A model wearing a short outfit on a fashion show runway and a good-looking woman wearing a bikini on a beach or at a pool is not immodest.

they also discovered that a part of the brain that usually turned on during social interaction actually de-activated when they saw the photograph...

Uhhhh....A photograph IS an object that one seldom reacts to socially...

Typical stupidity from a “scientist”
They record electrical impulses in the same area of the brain that is used for objects and make this stupid conclusion. They really do think that they see “thinking”
Bunch of idiots! The workings of the human brain are much more complex than these stupid “scientists” can comprehend.

Professor Fiske is in no imminent danger of objectification.

"But what the brain scans show is that they are reacting to this photograph as people react to objects.

Um, No they are reacting to an OBJECT (the photograph) as an object. A real objective test would have not photos (an object) but real scantilly clad ladies right there in the MRI with him.

(I'l volunteer as a test subject...)

I treat women as fully three dimensional humans. There are three dimensions that I especially like.
I treat liberals and leftists as mind-numbed mental midgets with skulls full of mush.

I propose we update the posting rules to include one that states that anytime any post contains any image of Helen Thomas, that post is labeled as ‘toxic’ or some other more pertinent warning. Some of us eat and drink while posting and reading posts and I really don’t want acid reflux disease.
Thanks for your consideration..

‘And, I might interject - the sexualization of young women and the bombardment of men with such images has a bigger purpose - and the target is the nuclear family. ‘

yep, a senior UN official recently celebrated their success on breaking up the family.

Someone needs to do a study involving how women view half-naked men.

I'm sure further study will reveal that men do view half-half naked women as "objects", while women will view half-naked men as "packages"...

That is part of my point. Then why do we constantly hear of reports about “sexist men” and the public bemoaning of the fact that men view woman as objects? It seems to me that women dress with the intent of soliciting this very response otherwise would they not dress in a different manner?

But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe woman dress is things and bikinis because it simply is more comfortable. They couldn’t wear this attire for purposes of soliciting notice from men.

Just like that picture of the woman prancing in the patriotic bikini. Notice that she has been surgically enhanced, but it’s men’s fault that it’s hard to stare her in the eyes and talk about economics or quantum physics.

Good terminology. Bombardment, irradiation...
Exterminate! Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!
