Ted Talk: Sexual Objectification.

Sexual objectification is the process of representing or treating a person like a sex object, one that serves another’s sexual pleasure.

Sex Object test: If any answer is Yes, the image shows a sex object.

1. Does the image show only part(s) of a sexualized person’s body?
2. Does the image present a sexualized person as a stand-in for an object?
3. Does the image show a sexualized person as interchangeable?
4. Does the image affirm the idea of violating the bodily integrity of a sexualized person that can’t consent?
5. Does the image suggest that sexual availability is the defining characteristic of the person?
6. Does the image show a sexualized person as a commodity (something that can be bought and sold?)
7. Does the image treat a sexualized body as a canvas?

Sexual objectification is not empowering because of the difference between being a subject and being an object. Subjects act, objects are acted upon. There is no power in limiting yourself to being acted upon.
