Is there a contradiction between objecting to objectification and normalizing it??
A short dress is not consent, and nobody should be treated as an object. That should be a given.
But here's the question: is it contradictory to object to objectification while also normalizing platforms like OnlyFans, where a woman's body is the product?
Also, young women are told to build careers and
independence. Yet OnlyFans is often celebrated as quick money. Do you think some young women are pulled away from education or careers by the success stories?
To be fair:
Consent is the difference between choosing to sell content and being harassed.
The women campaigning against harassment and the women on these platforms are mostly different groups.
I'm not blaming women who choose it. I'm asking what message the culture sends to young women.
