The single most powerful force in undercutting sex equality at work remains the cultural sexualization of women, which has gained momentum over the same 30 years. During this time, pornography has increasingly saturated the world, both public and private, making itself ever more legitimate. Major corporations and mainstream media increasingly distribute what the pornography industry produces, trafficking women and girls for sexual use. With pornography infusing daily life more and more, its power to turn women into sexual objects, to eroticize domination as the meaning of being a man and subordination as the meaning of being a woman, and to desensitize its users to sexual abuse effectively sets standards for behavior, including at work.
Geez I thought this tired rhetoric died with the dinosaurs,..or was it feminism. Yaaaaaaawnnnnnnnnnnn. I think I'll learn the tango by myself now.
Or maybe I'll ponder the thought that during the last 30 years more and more women have entered and stayed in the workplace. Oh,..can't do that now, the second showcase is starting and Bob Barker hasn't leered once at one the his highly paid, there by their own choice models.
