The Repressed & Oppressive Sexuality of Modern Society

[4th law of robotics]

3. I'm particularly concerned about a trend I've seen here

and elsewhere to label any instance of a person (well ok, just men) finding another person (well ok, just women) sexual attractive to be necessarily "objectifying".

It is impossible to view a woman as a sexually appealing individual without being accused of treating her as merely a disposable sex object by some.

That and the not so subtle labeling of any kind of intercourse as suspect (can a woman really consent in the patriarch?) if not outright de facto rape.

The justifications are new but the outcome is a very old one: to make normal human sexual urges and activities sinister and dirty to control and shame people for . . . well being people.

They've found a novel way to push it but the end result is a society the puritans would have found acceptable (if a bit repressive, they were very much for enthusiastic sex between men and women so long as it stayed within the confines of a marriage).
