You see this kind of complaint everywhere. Any time a guy talks about a woman's physical attractiveness, or more commonly about her sex appeal, it's labeled as "objectifying" and judged as bad.
But what's so bad about objectification? You're objectifying somebody to the extent that your intentions are directed towards their body. Because the body is the object. But why is that bad, again? Our intentions are directed towards people's bodies all the time - any time you use physical help from someone, whether in paying for a service or receiving a favor, you're using their body. Their body is reduced to a machine to do some physical task for you. You're not denying their humanity in any way by doing this - to the extent that you're not restricting their rights or abusing them in any way, and they consent to whatever they're doing for you, you're acknowledging their humanity.
This applies to sexual attraction. A guy desiring a woman's body, with no mention of her mind or personality, is not necessarily bad. What's the offence here? Commenting on someone's sex appeal doesn't imply "this woman is a body with no mind, ah if i could get ahold of her i would treat her like a sex doll." any more than thinking about hiring a plumber implies you want to use their body as a plumbing machine.
Same thing with the term "fetishizing". A fetish is a strong sexual attraction towards body parts, situations, activities or objects. Presumably not sexual characteristics. So any time you have a particular attraction to a feature of someone's body, clothing, personality, etc. you're fetishizing them. So i guess if fetishizing is bad, then you're only allowed to be attracted to people for their sexual characteristics? LMAO
