Can't we just objectify both genders so I can enjoy looking at scantily clad women without worrying about being sexist?

**Men drools at attractive women on stage**

Less attractive women: SEXISM

Women drools at attractive men on stage

**Nobody cares**

Regardless of any "context" arguments, there should never be any double standards, gender equality should be for both genders. In the name of equality and for the sake of dodging any sexism issue, men should never give women preferential treatment to women because that would mean either a reverse sexism or a positive sexism.

And dismissing the "context" doesn't magically make a case against trying to understand social situations and how other people are affected by it, cultural baggage and all.

Dude, I agree with all your previous points regarding sexism, I have full respect to women legitimately fighting for gender equality. However, you do have to remember that gender discrimination could go both way. 

Any sort of preferential treatment to someone based on their gender/race/sexual orientation etc is discrimination in my dictionary. Showing a special concern towards your workers based on their gender is sexism and not doing what you would normally have done in order to avoid "offending" someone is self discrimination.
