Is this acceptable in a school?

A friend of mine is a teacher in an all boys school. He was showing a group of pupils some of the football and was fast-forwarding to get to the action. The camera lingered on some pretty girls in the crowd (you know the ones they normally pick!) and the pupils demanded that he go back so they could get a proper look. He obliged, but commented that if there had been a single girl in the classroom, he wouldn't have.

Obviously this was a pretty minor incident, but do you think it was fine (and if so, would it have also been fine if there had been girls present?), or is it encouraging the sexual objectification of women? Or anything else?

What are your thoughts?

Wow, this is the first thread I've read in the Feminism subforum and I'm horrified by this MsGoddess person. Are there always trolls like this or is this a rare occurrence?

Please see my post of 17.22.

There.

Now do you disappear in a puff of smoke?

I would bet my house that it's Claire Khaw, the lunacy alone is all I need. 'thought crime', 'women hating' are all themes close to her ----ticking clock heart.

The difference is that in the case of objectifying them, you reduce them to their bodies being the most important and/ or interesting thing about them. Admiration without objectification, is about understanding that however nice their body, it's only one part of them.

There, not too difficult, is it?

Hope this adds to your store of non-emotive thoughts...

Dunno who it is, but it's definitely not Imperator.

Claire, haven't you got some criminals and students to entertain?

oh you're so thick.

Don't you understand the difference between enjoying and admiring someone's body and objectifying them?

Thisisthatvilewoman · 28/06/2010 17:14

She's an unhinged weirdo who writes laughable tripe on the internet, she has no job, contributes zero to society but complains about people on welfare, belongs to the BNP (agent to Jeffrey 'the seedy wanker' Marshall and is an immigrant.

Just noticed that MsGoddess has started a thread arguing for the legalisation of prostitution in the Politics forum today.

What exactly are you getting out of the these exchanges, if they're not meant to wind people up?
