Isn't that kinda sexist though? I just treat women just like I do everyone else. The only preferential I give is to people I'm on good terms with. Women aren't some protected class or delicate little flowers that need protecting. They can handle people being rude or mean to them or hitting on them.

you have to view this through the lens of women being dominated by men for centuries and we're now trying to bring them up to be equal with men

it didn't sound that way to me

to me you seemed to be saying that women who aspire to stand out by using deceptive techniques such as surgery or makeup are bad

since you mentioned the manipulation of images to present an idealised standard

Meh. They are equal at least in the west and some parts in the east. They don't deserve preferential treatment for being a woman. They deserve equality and that also comes with equal responsibility/standards as men. They can't have it both ways all the time. I'm not for "let's fight sexism with more sexism." activism. In reality, they get equality and the privileges of getting preferential treatment so I really get tired of monetized feminists always making a stink over silly shit like female characters in video games looking like attractive women.

Tie up some women and whip them?

That’s not a statistically valid survey.

I would add a differentiation between displays of genuine sexual agency and sexual objectification (the latter of which is to what I refer with the term "sexualization"). I'm not sure if pictoral illustrations of the difference (at least as I see it) would be considered acceptable on VG Chartz, but it is worth saying that when I was in my tweenage years especially, I enjoyed playing video games/franchises like Golden Axe and Streets of Rage as certain sexy characters because I lacked sexual confidence myself and enjoyed fantasizing about being more attractive. But these I would different these from the way female characters were treated in many other games like Duke Nukem, which I always found demeaning; never uplifting.

But we also need to correct a massive quantity difference that exists in the distribution of sexual imagery of women versus men. Although I highlighted advertising before, I just meant that as one example. It's across all media. For example, only one-third of Hollywood actors are female, yet women are twice as likely as men to be featured in sexually explicit movie scenes. Therein you can see what they often hire women for, in contrast to what they hire men for.

Porn should be banned, it should not exist in our advanced society. It does not matter that it employs a lot of people and that the women are there because they want and make good money on it. What matter is that a few people think it objectify women and degrate them. The same for camgirls. Also it seems black, fat, ugly, old and trans women are misrepresented.
We started with grid girls, now its time to free all women, including prostitution.

Yes, at the same time ban modelling, lingerie, specific types of clothes, and make sending nudes a felony. 

We should also make it a law that you're only allowed to have sex when being blindfolded, to prohibit people from doing it simply for their sexual desires. 

Watching porn doesn't mean you are disrespecting women.
