“In social philosophy, objectification is the act of treating a person,[1] as an object or a thing. It is part of dehumanization, the act of disavowing the humanity of others. Sexual objectification, the act of treating a person as a mere object of sexual desire, is a subset of objectification, as is self-objectification, the objectification of one's self. In Marxism, the objectification of social relationships is discussed as "reification".
Definitions
According to Martha Nussbaum, a person is objectified if one or more of the following properties are applied to them:[2]
Instrumentality – treating the person as a tool for another's purposes
Denial of autonomy – treating the person as lacking in autonomy or self-determination
Inertness – treating the person as lacking in agency or activity
Fungibility – treating the person as interchangeable with (other) objects
Violability – treating the person as lacking in boundary integrity and violable, "as something that it is permissible to break up, smash, break into."
Ownership – treating the person as though they can be owned, bought, or sold (such as slavery)
Denial of subjectivity – treating the person as though there is no need for concern for their experiences or feelings
Rae Langton proposed three more properties to be added to Nussbaum's list:[3]
Reduction to body – the treatment of a person as identified with their body, or body parts
Reduction to appearance – the treatment of a person primarily in terms of how they look, or how they appear to the senses
Silencing – the treatment of a person as if they are silent, lacking the capacity to speak.” I would never work with any porn businesses that have all of these unresolved issues and all of these unsolved problems. I would never work with any businesses that have all of these unresolved issues and all of these unsolved problems. I don't work with any businesses (porn and non-porn) that never want to stop their commodification of people, discriminatory traditions, discriminatory people, discriminatory policies, discriminatory ideas, discriminatory practices, and discriminatory laws!) It’s okay to be a sensitive lover to yourself and to others in your sex life and it’s okay to be an ethical porn superstar to yourself and others in your sex life. Sex has built in-advocacy and activism for sexual justice, bodily integrity purposes, bodily autonomy purposes, sexual personality justice, sex-positivity, sex crime survivor justice, sex work justice, erotic blueprint type justice, and reproductive justice. I live a life of physical boundaries, sexual boundaries, emotional boundaries, intellectual boundaries, communication boundaries, psychological boundaries, time boundaries, material boundaries, financial boundaries, non-negotiable boundaries, internal boundaries, secular boundaries and my boundaries with religion and I live by https://skywriter.wordpress.com/2010/07/10/the-3-major-ways-of-setting-boundaries—which-type-are-you/. The company I think I will work with the most is (https://blktouch.com). I really want to work with https://blueartichokefilms.com/about/, https://shinelouisehouston.com, https://colorblockfilms.com, and https://erikalust.com.
