While I 100% agree that men are under attack on many fronts these days, that does not mean that this type of sexual objectification does not happen. It DOES happen. A LOT. It has happened to me numerous times, starting at age 10. It has happened to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FEMALE FRIENDS at least once, and in most cases many times. And even to a couple of my male friends also.
The point is not to blame men, but to acknowledge how society is conditioning us ALL to objectify ourselves and others. When the Best Song award goes to a vulgar, crass monstrosity like Cardi B for Wet Ass P---y, and the grammy show featured girls simulating lesbian sex in stage, you know we have gone a looooong way down the wrong road.
You are promoting cultivation theory. This is no different than Anita Sarkeesian claiming that sexist videogames create sexist attitudes and behaviors in the real world.
The truth is that human beings are sexual creatures, and the combination of free will and dysfunctional people will inevitably generate aberrant behavior. We should discourage and punish this behavior, but the notion that we can realistically eliminate it isn't just idiotic - it's dangerous.
Cardi B is a symptom of the degeneration of culture, not the cause.
I didn't think I was attacking anyone. I agree that men, especially strong men, are under constant attack by the media. TV portrays husbands as emasculated dolts. Its awful. It is intentional.
And I assumed it was clear that I have nothing but scorn for vulgar no talents like Cardi B who prostitute themselves publicly for fame. It is not "avant-garde" or "pushing boundaries" to do what she did on stage. It is demeaning and disgusting.
I was simply refuting the claim that "all" the testimonials of early age harassment were made up. Thats all.

Time to turn this shit around.

In reply to your fun fact; patriarchy would suggest fatherhood. It’s as if the word patriarchy now means, “Raised by pimps.”
i have to ask where you have been hanging around tbh. This has not happened to me or to any of my female friends
I grew up in Los Angeles. So perhaps my experience is not typical.
I got the heck out of Cali decades ago because I wanted to experience life "outside the plastic bubble."
Settled in TX and never looked back.
I don't disagree at all. I would argue only that the evil and corruption has gotten more blatantly and unapologetically "in your face."
