It's quite interesting that I've yet to hear a female say that "I'd hit it" is an appreciated, or even appropriate thing. Onesnowyowl's "I've taken the phrase back" is analogous to African-Americans calling each other niggas as a way to defuse the outright offensiveness of its counterpart.

I'll admit that this was a silly thread as soon as a woman comes forward saying she APPRECIATES reading "I'd hit that" on one of hundreds of posts on TFP. Or a female who thinks that it teaches them good things about who they are and what they're actually valued for.

As of yet, the only ones defending such an objectification are men who (quite naturally) assume that it isn't offensive because they themselves are not offended by it. While it might be natural, it's also naive.

As an aside to men who would actually care to learn about what their media and their words says to women, check out Dreamworlds II or Dreamworlds III. They're prohibitively expensive, but check them out at a library if you can. I promise that they're worth it.
