Re: Objectification question

[(Anonymous)]

Objectification is a function. It is a function which - at its worst, at its root - gives [X person or group] the ability to value the parts of [Y person or group] which they are able to use for their own benefit, while simultaneously allowing [X person or group] to be contemptuous and negligent towards [Y person or group] as a whole. It essentially perpetuates a cycle of maximum gain in return for minimal investment where interactions between people and groups are concerned.

For example, it allows men to fetishize "pussy" while simultaneously having contempt for women in non-subservient capacities, and it allows white Americans to heap much of the hardest and least rewarding work on people of color while simultaneously being resentful and contemptuous towards the people of color who preform said work.

So I guess I would say objectification is a function of laziness, fear, and desire, all intersecting and playing into each other. Fear that these entities you rely on to maintain your way of life cannot be trusted to continue doing what you want them to do. Desire that they continue doing what you want them to do. And the laziness of wanting (expecting) to retain these services at minimal personal cost; laziness which then causes fear, because rationally we know that a relationship in which you are getting more than you deserve and giving less than you ought to in return is inherently unstable.

I think hatred is less the cause of objectification, and more one of its outcomes. We hate a living thing we treat badly, so that we can continue to feel justified in treating it badly. Arguably, we also hate a living thing we treat badly because we can't help but project our contempt for our own behavior onto our victim.
