women’s appearance is often viewed as existing on a scale from unattractive to attractive, but that’s way too benign a conceptualization. the reality is that we exist on a scale from dehumanized to acceptable. attractiveness is just one of many qualities that a human might have; for us, physical configurations are often matters of life and death. our bodies determine whether we’ll be treated w some degree of basic human decency, or whether we’ll be utterly discarded by the world. meeting the criteria for women’s appearance under patriarchy is not a question of mere attractiveness but of emotional and physical survival 

More like dehumanized to objectified honestly.

On a scale of “you don’t matter at all” to “we’ll treat you like a sex object” and that’s considered the most desirable.

Hmmm let’s maybe talk about the disturbing phenomenon where a straight man asks you what your wildest fantasies are like in a sexual context and you tell them something (whether true or not) and they’re like “no, your WILDEST fantasies. Your DARKEST fantasies. You don’t have anything more intense than that? It can be anything at all….You can tell me….” as though you’re keeping something from them, some vital depraved desire that all women MUST have, as though you’re lying about it, which is really just a method men use to engender the notion that THEIR violent fantasies should be YOURS as well (and they will not accept anything you say unless you confirm that). And if you don’t they act affronted or at least let down, like you’ve failed them somehow, like you’re not deep enough or tough enough or willing to put up with enough. It’s such an explicitly violent form of emotional manipulation and soooo many straight men do it, or something like it. They try to mold you into the subservient secret r*pe fantasy slut they want all the women they fuck to be — something you only confide in them of course, only show for them, at least play along like that’s the case — and if you don’t comply youre instantly less-than. It’s disgusting! Men make me want to die!
