Re: Why

Re: why people are defensive. you call it "objectifying", that's the kind of accusation people want to defend against. you say this is an objectifying practice and that it's icky, people who do it (a. don't take it seriously enough to actually consider the people as nothing more than a number, and (b. don't feel they deserve the accusation of objectification and ickyness (and the connected implication of misogyny) for expressing their relative attraction in numerical form.

Also, there's always the feeling that the people criticizing the practice don't really get it. Like the constant argument is that "Attractiveness is subjective, so a numbers scale doesn't work" like people don't already know that attractiveness is subjective but can you think of a better way to express relative attraction? Would colours be better? "I think Mickey Rourke is a blue and Michael Fassbender is a Red?".

TLDR, it's just a harmless dumb thing people do and people don't like being told they're bad people for doing their dumb harmless stuff.
