Cars are already objects. They don't need to be objectified. Women are humans. When they are objectified, they are
de-humanized. You can't objectify an object.

Basically you're saying that because you don't perceive it to be a big concern, it isn't? I don't think its the biggest concern either, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore it because there are worse problems.

Why does this matter? Even if every woman on TFP said it wasn't a concern, that doesn't mean it isn't. I could find you handfuls of women who wouldn't think it was a problem at my local University. They've also don't think they have any option but to be a housewife. For them, the University is just a finishing school where they can meet their new "man."
