Sexist culture still objectifies women



Our reductive society does not treat women as complete people.



While I agree with some of the points that Kristina Rosett made in her Feb. 28 letter, “Strip clubs are not sexist, shaming women for expressing their sexuality is,” I found a number of her assertions to be problematic. While it is upsetting that women are not allowed to express their sexuality as they see fit, I believe strip clubs, pornography and other commercial avenues of sex are sexist because we live in a sexist society that values women’s bodies over other important pieces of their selves.
If women choose to exercise their sexual agency and work in the sex industry, more power to them, but our culture still accepts to using women (and men) as objects to sell products, to make money and for one’s own sexual pleasure.
Our culture thinks that what women think and say is far less important than how “hot” they look. In the last presidential election, female candidates ran for both president and vice president of the U.S., but folks spent time critiquing their hairstyles, outfits and looks instead of talking about their ideas or policy positions.
My objections to strip clubs have little to do with slut sham
