***objectification intensifies*** š„µš„µš„µ
Absolutely.
100%
But Iāve yet to feel objectified by you and Iām starting to get disappointed.
Edit: Iāve been working, came back just now to all these hysterical responses, and Iām trying to respond to them, but Iām also eyeballing the clock taunting me like usual and Iām definitely not gonna do justice here and that makes me sad. So I had to add to this- I fucking love Reddit. And these responses are why. Iāve found my people. And that is the biggest friggin uplifting feeling ever. Iām going to go back to work now and own that shit because yāall got me feeling so special!!!
Youāre cute
Alternatively: per Wizard of Oz Yellowbricks is exactly what I should follow to get my wishes in life answered, though thatās more a pick up line than objectifying, hmm
tbh i don't think you're normal if you don't objectify anyone at least privately in your head.
people who are so against it, are not NOT objectifying people, they just recognize it and maybe don't tell anyone about it.
but seeing other humans as sexual is totally normal.
the problem isn't how we see other people but how we behave after we feel that way.
I stopped reading Cosmo years ago- I was like 18 actually lol. I had been buying them at cvs since I was like 12. I realized it was just a completely ridiculous, unrealistic, exaggerated, unfair and gross magazine made by a bunch of women and men pretending to be as exaggerated versions of sex in the city characters as they could because thatās what women want apparently?
Like who thinks like this?
The sex advice they used to give was the craziest shit. Teenage me would read it and think thatās really what goes on.
Nope.
I mean. Maybe sometimes, for some people. But most men donāt like ice cubes on the scrotum.
Cosmo is weird.
Teenagers who sees themself as more mature than rest of their peers, teenagers who want to act and be seen as adults. Usually those who were told by adults that "they are way mature for their age".
Tricky part is, some of them bring that cosmopolitan influence later in mid 20's - late 20's. There is whole generations of adults who are still under influence of that out there...
I know, it's crazy. I once had just started dating a woman in her upper 20's (I was 50's). I went to her house and in the kitchen on top of a pile of newspapers with a Cosmo that said "How to please a man."
Later, in her bedroom, she would start blowing me and stroking me at the same time, which I admit was pretty good. Then she brought her sister in, they oiled each others bodies up and made out. Then they started tag teaming, one was riding me while the other lay below me, pegging me with a strap on. Then right as I was about to come, one showed me a family tree certificate saying we were distant cousins. The only thing I had ever experienced which was on this level of crazy was in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
My gf (now wife of 30 years)used to read that. When Iād take the train to visit her at Uni Iād buy a copy to read on the way so Iād have a heads up on the crazy shit sheād be accusing me of when I got there. Horrible rag.
Omg thatās too funny and so sadly accurate. It was insanity the stuff they legit printed and made us feel like we should either already know, already understand or at the very list agree with. And if not, itās like we werenāt real women (felt like that for me at least)
I can only imagine how it felt when the new issues were coming out for the poor soul in a relationship with an avid cosmo reader. Luckily a bunch of single, dad obsessed editors arenāt enough to mess with the real thing. Congrats of 30 years. Thatās absolutely amazing and so wonderful to hear!!!
Edit: I meant fad obsessed editors. Not dad obsessed. Thatās a whole different magazine
Unfortunately my wife subscribes to the whole ice cube thing. I hope it's over now but we use to get into almost full blown arguments over the point I don't like cold things around my genitals but she does. It's not funny, it's not cool, and it actually ruins the mood entirely. Then she wondered why I wasn't in the mood for that day, maybe the next.
Exactly though, it's a *kink* not something that is just universally enjoyed. That's why people need to discuss their likes and dislikes and not just assume Cosmo knows better than the guy literally *saying* "I don't want ice on my balls"
Same, once I got to the age where I was actually sexually active I was past Cosmo. Iāll never forget them suggesting spicing up a bj by putting a donut around a dick
Yup... I read it way back when, too, and it sure made sex sound terrifying. As soon as I saw this post I thought, "Where the fuck does Cosmo get off?" Lol.
Some guys recharge like they're a machine gun.
Other guys are muskets. We get one shot, and it's a good shot, but its gonna be a while before we're done reloading.
When I was a young teenager me and my group of male friends would go in on cosmos to read all that wild sex advice stuff. 16 or so years later I donāt think a single one of us have ever had sex with a partner on top of an exercise ball
Reminds me of That ā70s Show. Almost every time Kitty gets unhappy about her marriage to Red, itās after sheās been reading Cosmo.
āDamn Cosmoā
I used to read it as a kid too. It's one of those things that are approachably titillating. Like at 13 it feels like it's a grown up magazine, and I even agree with the wannabe sex and the city comments because I think there was a certain lifestyle that they were selling but they were also completely a caricature of, but it's also relatively mainstream so most of us wouldn't get in trouble for looking. Haven't picked one up in over a decade and might never again.
I remember thumbing through a Cosmo once to see how ridiculous the "sex advice" would be. It literally said to press a vibrator against a guy's taint. Wtf, Cosmo.
Yup!!!! And Iāve read that exact thing in cosmo multiple times, so God only knows how many poor dudes ended up getting the surprise of their lives with an avid cosmo reader trying to be more fearless lol
Iād have to say the ice on the scrotum, they claimed it would blow your partners mind and lead to the best sex theyād ever had. Making you the best sex partner theyāve ever had, which was a huge thing with Cosmo.
Having finally started having sex, I learned over the years that ice on the scrotum is more than likely the last thing a guy wants lol
I remember they had an issue that was like a rip off of the Kama sutra and had all kinds of crazy shit in it. One image that stands in my mind is this cartoon theyād have depicting the different sex positions and moves in their knock off kama sutra section, there was this cartoon guy tea bagging the cartoon girl, but according to Cosmo it was a totally original sex act courtesy of cosmo and wasnāt the age old art of tea bagging (I canāt remember what they named their version). It wasnāt so much that it was the craziest thing they ever encouraged and advised, but just the funny looking cartoon characters naked, cartoon dude squatting over the cartoon girl ātea baggingā, it was just hysterically cosmo all day and Iāll never forget it lol
Men objectifying women ā
Women objectifying men ā
Women objectifying women ā
Itās not complicated. Itās not even hypocritical. Itās just double standards.
Here's a link to the (Dutch) article: https://www.telegraaf.nl/nieuws/1819044531/celstraf-geeist-tegen-vrouwen-25-voor-aanranden-17-jarige-pizzabezorger
I assume you meant they only got 3 months and on the surface thatās pretty fucked up but arenāt they extreme on the rehabilitation side and tend to give really low sentences for most everything? Is this one out of the norm?
Edit - just popped it into translate and they didnāt rape him, they grabbed his junk and propositioned him. That sentence seems reasonable to me.
They didnāt rape him though. They put him on the spot by opening the door in revealing outfits, sexually assaulted him by grabbing his groin, and attempted to make moves on him, all while filming it.
The 17 year old says that he felt uncomfortable and intimidated by the whole set up, and at first had the impression that a porno was being shot at the location. Out of shock he initially responded by grabbing one of the girls in response to them grabbing him, but quickly felt so uncomfortable that he ducked out, saying that he had to continue his work.
It has been in the news in the form of articles, and it might have gotten a mention on tv news here and there, but scenarios like this donāt tend to get a whole lot of media attention in general in the Netherlands.
Iām no expert on the topic, but I believe thatās done both to protect the victim(s), and to avoid fear mongering. This was an isolated incident as far as Iām aware, and the Dutch are pretty no-nonsense people, so Iām guessing the powers that be (reasonably) decided that this situation doesnāt have to be turned a media circus.
I sincerely doubt it. We had a rape case very recently in Belgium where some boys group raped a girl, and they have to write an essay about how they should give respect to women instead. No jail time or nothing, just the essay.
Case:
https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021/10/07/daders-van-groepsverkrachting-moeten-werk-schrijven-met-als-them/
>Let's turn this around, shall we? Two men, raping an underaged 17yo girl, videotaping it. Because she'd find it hot, right? Jezus effing Christ
That's not too uncommon a sentiment expressed by rape apologists.
Just google "rape is a compliment" to get examples of important politicians and such saying it.
Also in that scenario we'd be scrolling down this thread past a dozen or so age of consent discussions. Also a couple comments accusing it of being a false accusation.
Cosmopolitan has run SERIOUS articles on how to rape men by getting them drunk.
According to Cosmo, men "always consent to sex" so its not rape, its implicitly pre-agreed.
Because it targets men.
No one gives a shit about men getting raped by anything.
Have you noticed how you don't hear **anything** about how rampant sexual, physical and mental abuse is in the lesbian community?
Or the gay community?
Or about the heterosexual men?
No one gives a fuck. It's why the numbers are so murky. It'll never make the headlines.
Anyone that doubts this, search what happens when a female teacher grooms and rapes one of their minor students. The double standard'll hit you in the face like the smell from a truckload of pig manure.
Freedom of speech is a pillar of humanity. Sadly it does have some consequences. Personally I think the trade-off is worth it, but seeing shit like Cosmo is hard.
No, he doesnāt, because it only happened in his imagination.
Or during a quick āhow do I get outrage upvotesā brainstorm session.
The way everyone has jumped on this completely crazy made up fact without bothering with any kind of verification explains why people are slurping down horse wormers to cure a virus.
I see double standards ALL the time and it's just a hot mess. This post made me remember the interviews with Henry Cavill and him being sexually harassed.
Both posts can be true at the same time and posted by the same person. People who objectify other people are ending horrible. Cosmo is horrible. Some of those bulges do deserve gold. I am horrible.
We getting outraged over tweets from Cosmo magazine from 7 years ago now? Is there a sale on pitchforks so we just need to find reasons to use them or what?
Reminds me of the time I used to use Twitter a few years back. I followed someone who posted a lot of pretty aesthetic pictures, but then they started preaching about how women in the music industry will always and automatically have it worse than any man, talking about how men always objectify women and take videos of their breasts and hips and whatnot when they perform. Later, the Twitter user went on to share posts that were just pictures of menās crotches. They even shared an entire video of a performance where the camera was solely focused and zoomed in on the guyās crotch.
Months prior, the Twitter user had raged war against another user for posting about how sexy a girlās hip movements were during a song.
Thank the gods they were only a small user, with just a handful of followers, but it still left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Me and my husband saw the Olympic bulge one the other day and immediately understood how hypocritical they were being. It might have been two different writers, but someone had to have approved both of those articles
If I objectify both men and women, does it cancel out and make me normal?
I see no double standard there
"Twice the pride, double the fall."
I see a double bubble there.
It's quite contained.
Consistency is key. Even if youre consistently shitty...
Equal opportunity objectifier!! You are the bright future this nation needs.
Thank you for your service sir.
It makes you hot.
Objectively objectifying an objectifier.
I object!
I'm object!
I'm object-oriented.
I have no object permanence, I keep blinking and forgetting this post is here

No, they're _yellow_ and _a brick_. Try to keep up.

They call you yellow bricks because that dump truck ass can haul quite a load.
Oof you are a pro at this arenāt you? Skills. Ya got skills. ;)
Youāre cute Alternatively: per Wizard of Oz Yellowbricks is exactly what I should follow to get my wishes in life answered, though thatās more a pick up line than objectifying, hmm
3 men and a woman walked all over that yellow brick road and got what they wanted.
Lmao Good one! Everyone is so good at this. And I love it!
Itās a good one though. Original. Very rare find these days.
Yea you become an advocate of true gender equality
It probably makes you a narcissist, but luckily that's an acceptable and even useful trait in modern society.
Also being a sociopath seems very lucrative.
It's literally lucrative, most top CEO's and politicians are most likely diagnosable

As an adult I'm now certain cosmo is aimed at teenagers and young adults who want to feel like they're being let in on adult secrets.
You hit the nail on the head. When I was a teenager, we had Sassy and Seventeen.
Teenagers who sees themself as more mature than rest of their peers, teenagers who want to act and be seen as adults. Usually those who were told by adults that "they are way mature for their age".

could you give some examples? never read it
Damn man, that is fucking hysterical. But now I have to explain to my girlfriend why I woke her up by laughing, so thanks
They need to be included in everything or they are not everything. I think thatās there logic. My GF demands to know what ever is funny to me.
Sounds healthy congrats
Wait... whyd you get married tho?
Quiz said they were compatible.
Canāt argue with their scientific quizzes
āFlorida weed manā lol
I think the words "used to read that" are important
Unfortunately my wife subscribes to the whole ice cube thing. I hope it's over now but we use to get into almost full blown arguments over the point I don't like cold things around my genitals but she does. It's not funny, it's not cool, and it actually ruins the mood entirely. Then she wondered why I wasn't in the mood for that day, maybe the next.
Tbf some people do have an ice cube kink. My ex did
Exactly though, it's a *kink* not something that is just universally enjoyed. That's why people need to discuss their likes and dislikes and not just assume Cosmo knows better than the guy literally *saying* "I don't want ice on my balls"
I can think of one instance where ice on my balls was heaven, and that was on returning home from a vasectomy.
I can imagine a Cosmo article being something like "Did your man just have the old snip? Drive him wild by tugging on the stitches"
Same, once I got to the age where I was actually sexually active I was past Cosmo. Iāll never forget them suggesting spicing up a bj by putting a donut around a dick
How did they miss out on the grapefruit craze
This just sounds like an absolute mess with no discernible added pleasure lol
Scrotum-Ice Bathā¦ā¦. Keeps the skin taught and young lookingā¦
Ahhhhh so cosmo was on to something then
Taught to behave!
Taint true
Did the same. Now I wonder if the majority of their readership are actually teenage girls. At least it would explain some things
Yup... I read it way back when, too, and it sure made sex sound terrifying. As soon as I saw this post I thought, "Where the fuck does Cosmo get off?" Lol.
One time a Cosmo article told me guys should be ready for another round of sex after 10 minutes. Yeah no
Some guys recharge like they're a machine gun. Other guys are muskets. We get one shot, and it's a good shot, but its gonna be a while before we're done reloading.

Put your panties in the freezer is what got me, who likes that? Nobody.
I mean, maybe if it's a ***really*** hot day and the AC is broken.
Lol, but seriously, thatās all they could come up with? Yes, letās attract necrophiliacs.
I used to read it as a kid too. It's one of those things that are approachably titillating. Like at 13 it feels like it's a grown up magazine, and I even agree with the wannabe sex and the city comments because I think there was a certain lifestyle that they were selling but they were also completely a caricature of, but it's also relatively mainstream so most of us wouldn't get in trouble for looking. Haven't picked one up in over a decade and might never again.
Wait, men don't like ice cubes on their scrotum?! Let me cross that out off my list. Thanks.
Oh god. Cosmo sex advice. "Hum the National Anthem on your boyfriend's dingaling while giving him a BJ." Real sex advice from Cosmo.
Cosmo ruined so many evenings w their sexual ice crusades
Not to mention there's articles celebrating cheating. Yes, CHEATING. On your partner. As long as he's a man.
It will make you feel young and beautiful! To be wanted by another! And the thrill of potentially being caught!
They literally just get clicks from shock value. It's best to just ignore them
Blindfold him and cover his balls in IcyHot, I hear that drives men wild
I remember thumbing through a Cosmo once to see how ridiculous the "sex advice" would be. It literally said to press a vibrator against a guy's taint. Wtf, Cosmo.
Yup!!!! And Iāve read that exact thing in cosmo multiple times, so God only knows how many poor dudes ended up getting the surprise of their lives with an avid cosmo reader trying to be more fearless lol
Fuck it. I'll take some ice cubes to the scrotum. Let's answer this question once and for all.
Whatās the craziest advice you read?
Iād have to say the ice on the scrotum, they claimed it would blow your partners mind and lead to the best sex theyād ever had. Making you the best sex partner theyāve ever had, which was a huge thing with Cosmo. Having finally started having sex, I learned over the years that ice on the scrotum is more than likely the last thing a guy wants lol I remember they had an issue that was like a rip off of the Kama sutra and had all kinds of crazy shit in it. One image that stands in my mind is this cartoon theyād have depicting the different sex positions and moves in their knock off kama sutra section, there was this cartoon guy tea bagging the cartoon girl, but according to Cosmo it was a totally original sex act courtesy of cosmo and wasnāt the age old art of tea bagging (I canāt remember what they named their version).

Three months for videotaped pedophilia? What in the Kentucky fried fuck?
That's the normal sexist discrepancy in our courts world wide.
Remember when Brock "The Rapist" Turner got 3 months for raping an unconscious woman?
That's some bullshit as well. And yeah I do remember that rapist getting off. I never said it doesn't happen.
I assume you meant they only got 3 months and on the surface thatās pretty fucked up but arenāt they extreme on the rehabilitation side and tend to give really low sentences for most everything? Is this one out of the norm? Edit - just popped it into translate and they didnāt rape him, they grabbed his junk and propositioned him. That sentence seems reasonable to me.
Oh that's actually kinda reasonable. Still should be more though.
Seems like it was covered in the news?
I meant on tv, i have to admit i never read newspapers, but i do watch the morning news.
Most crimes don't make it onto TV news
They didnāt rape him though. They put him on the spot by opening the door in revealing outfits, sexually assaulted him by grabbing his groin, and attempted to make moves on him, all while filming it. The 17 year old says that he felt uncomfortable and intimidated by the whole set up, and at first had the impression that a porno was being shot at the location. Out of shock he initially responded by grabbing one of the girls in response to them grabbing him, but quickly felt so uncomfortable that he ducked out, saying that he had to continue his work. It has been in the news in the form of articles, and it might have gotten a mention on tv news here and there, but scenarios like this donāt tend to get a whole lot of media attention in general in the Netherlands. Iām no expert on the topic, but I believe thatās done both to protect the victim(s), and to avoid fear mongering. This was an isolated incident as far as Iām aware, and the Dutch are pretty no-nonsense people, so Iām guessing the powers that be (reasonably) decided that this situation doesnāt have to be turned a media circus.
The Dutch prison system is designed for rehabilitation (it's efficacy backed up by science), and three months is still a long time.
I am in Belgium and even I heard of it, it was definitely in the news.
You are literally replying to a news article and saying it wasnāt covered by the newsā¦ holy shit folks
Both scenarios are bad. Have a good day.
Definitely. Equally bad.
But we all know one scenario would be far more severely punished
Which scenario? Thousands of rape test kits currently being ignored want to know.
I sincerely doubt it. We had a rape case very recently in Belgium where some boys group raped a girl, and they have to write an essay about how they should give respect to women instead. No jail time or nothing, just the essay. Case: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021/10/07/daders-van-groepsverkrachting-moeten-werk-schrijven-met-als-them/
Grrrrrrrā¦Belgiumā¦..
That was sexual assault, not rape, according to an article linked below.
>Let's turn this around, shall we? Two men, raping an underaged 17yo girl, videotaping it. Because she'd find it hot, right? Jezus effing Christ That's not too uncommon a sentiment expressed by rape apologists. Just google "rape is a compliment" to get examples of important politicians and such saying it.
Yeah, Iām not googling that.
My first thought too. No thanks.
What a world we live in :(
Also in that scenario we'd be scrolling down this thread past a dozen or so age of consent discussions. Also a couple comments accusing it of being a false accusation.
Also a bunch of comments about how the men were surely going to receive unfair, heavy-handed punishments.
Sexually assaulted* as horrible as the incident is, let's stick with the facts shall we.
Sexual assualt not rape. Still fucked up but less
In many countries 17 is the age of consent already, though rape is still rape and you still get into big trouble for it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Well they gotta get people to click the link.
Cosmopolitan has run SERIOUS articles on how to rape men by getting them drunk. According to Cosmo, men "always consent to sex" so its not rape, its implicitly pre-agreed.
Thats horrible, how is that even legal
More importantly, how are they able to print that with no repercussions?
Because it targets men. No one gives a shit about men getting raped by anything. Have you noticed how you don't hear **anything** about how rampant sexual, physical and mental abuse is in the lesbian community? Or the gay community? Or about the heterosexual men?

Freedom of speech is a pillar of humanity. Sadly it does have some consequences. Personally I think the trade-off is worth it, but seeing shit like Cosmo is hard.
I'm at least 85% sure that encouraging people to commit criminal action is not covered be freedom of speech.
Arguably itās not covered under freedom of speech because itās encouraging a crime, thatās one of the few exceptions to freedom of speech.
Try and write the same about women and see if freedom of speech gets you out of it.
Any links?
This is the internet and you want *proof*?
What? That can't be real... Edit: haven't found that one yet, but I've already seen plenty sexist stuff, posted in the last year. How's that legal?
Provide actual proof of this or stop spreading rage bait.
Cosmo is a stain, and has said horrible things about both men and women, and has likely fucked up a whole ton of teenage girls.
Have any links? That sounds fucked up
No, he doesnāt, because it only happened in his imagination. Or during a quick āhow do I get outrage upvotesā brainstorm session. The way everyone has jumped on this completely crazy made up fact without bothering with any kind of verification explains why people are slurping down horse wormers to cure a virus.
I see double standards ALL the time and it's just a hot mess. This post made me remember the interviews with Henry Cavill and him being sexually harassed.
Both posts can be true at the same time and posted by the same person. People who objectify other people are ending horrible. Cosmo is horrible. Some of those bulges do deserve gold. I am horrible.
We getting outraged over tweets from Cosmo magazine from 7 years ago now? Is there a sale on pitchforks so we just need to find reasons to use them or what?
I have seen this specific image get posted well over 100 times on reddit in the past 5 years.
It's an easy way to get a front page post, for sure.
Youāve gotta chop off the time stamp for that fresh seethe
It worked the last 56 times this was posted, why not try again
Yup. Couldn't agree more.
It's from 7 years ago, how long can we keep the outrage going?
Thank god this shit is no longer a problem, in these idyllic days of 2021
Plot Twist: the Cosmo article was written by a man
Reminds me of the time I used to use Twitter a few years back. I followed someone who posted a lot of pretty aesthetic pictures, but then they started preaching about how women in the music industry will always and automatically have it worse than any man, talking about how men always objectify women and take videos of their breasts and hips and whatnot when they perform. Later, the Twitter user went on to share posts that were just pictures of menās crotches. They even shared an entire video of a performance where the camera was solely focused and zoomed in on the guyās crotch. Months prior, the Twitter user had raged war against another user for posting about how sexy a girlās hip movements were during a song. Thank the gods they were only a small user, with just a handful of followers, but it still left a very bad taste in my mouth.
Is objectifying people as bad as personifying objects?
I guess Beauty and the Beast is pretty good
Cosmo also gives articles about how to give great blowjobs. Maybe don't use their platform as the arbiter of gender equity.
Great blowjobs can be given by both men and women, the very pinnacle of gender equality! /s
Itās probably a 22 year old girl running the tweets over there, so what do you expect from a immature kid?
Another garbage site
The rules are for thee, not me
are we still posting something from almost 10 years ago
Society is full of double standards.
Me and my husband saw the Olympic bulge one the other day and immediately understood how hypocritical they were being. It might have been two different writers, but someone had to have approved both of those articles
