It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don't seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?

Another question - you said things are going backwards. When do you feel that things were better, and what made that time practically better in terms of not objectifying people?

    I am quite young, so most of my knowledge of the social conditions of the past comes from literature, which is of course a pretty bad source. But it really seems like it is much more normalised nowadays for men to view women as sexual objects.
