They did objectify her a little but it was more a bravado thing, not misogyny. that word is banded around too often, true misogyny is rare.

I don't think sexualised music videos or the modelling industry are to blame either, women are free to express their sexuality and I think most people are capable of making a distinction between real life and what is essentially acting. Just because women may act a certain way in music videos or porn, that doesn't give people the free reign to objectify them in their normal environments right in front of their faces. There is a difference.

Kizzy's post is about Kimberly which is a separate issue that I referenced at the end of my OP

Yes a feminist I can agree with. The world must be coming to an end.

I'm not absolving him totally but I feel it's a factor that the objectification of women is now becoming an accepted social norm.
I don't agree with it, but it must be confusing and here we see the product... A man who finds it hard to see women as anything but mothers or meat.

Sorry, my bad, I thought it was about the row

As far as Kimberley is concerned, she was right to talk to Marlon cause its one thing having guys ogle you on screen but another when youre in the same room.

I do like Marlon but he comes across as very immature for a 30 year old, nothing wrong with that but I think its the reason he says things like that, he's still a boy, not quite a man yet
