Social Objectification of Women and Pornography

Social Objectification of Women and Pornography

Introduction

The theory of objectification is a psychological theory that directly explains the mechanism by which the sexualisation affects the well-being of women and women. It brings together the perspectives of socialization, socio-cultural, cognitive and psycho-analysis, and argues that these are the observations of the women around them that lead to self-objectification and self-sexualisation. Such as prostitution, pornography erects the body, sexuality and identity in a matter of justice. The working conditions of pornographic actresses seem slightly less challenging than prostitutes and pornography takes up the idea that the female body can be consumed as a commodity (Moran, 2011).

When a man sexually objectify someone is to say when considering a person as a thing rather than as a whole person, with the sole purpose of sexual arousal, it is unlikely to be attentive to what happens to anyone other than himself.

Given his self-centeredness that time, it does not literally exist in the mind of this man another real person to whom he could pass anything.

Ultimately, that's the dirty little secret of sexual objectification: it is an act that cannot be exercised if one pays any attention to its ethical dimension. At the empirical level - from the point of view of the man who sexually objectifies - sexual objectification and ethical self-awareness are mutually exclusive. A man cannot think about what he does and the real consequences of these acts for real people while indulging entirely Act of sexual objectification (Dworkin, 1989). It is absolutely impossible, as the subjective reality of the human expense of unreality someone else. The only “outside” element which can be accommodated his field of consciousness is the membership of the sex of the other person - an abstract representation - which, by comparison to his own will belong sex grow in erection. ...
