‘The Sexy Lie’ We Should Be Talking About: Sexual Objectification.
“Every human body has its optimum weight and contour, which only health and efficiency can establish. Whenever we treat women’s bodies as aesthetic objects without function we deform them.”
― Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch
“The envied are like bureaucrats; the more impersonal they are, the greater the illusion (for themselves and for others) of their power.”
― John Berger
“Female knowledge of objectification usually stops at a necessary but superficial understanding: beauty is rewarded and lack of beauty is punished.”
― Andrea Dworkin
