They don't want women talking about the issue.

People clowning with their misogynist bullshit? That's just fine. Make jokes, hell write shit fitting for Hustler or Penthouse forum - but a woman criticizing it? That's not allowed!

As for the objectification of men ( ) not only is it non-existent (like 'reverse racism', the dynamics of our society simply make it impossible)... but, well let me just tell a story:

I once was referred to as a "size queen" So not only does the objectification of men not exist - and not only is it not a proud label that women use for themselves, such as 'ass man' or 'leg man' are - no, further than that - the only possible example is a nonsensical insult that a desperate, petulant man might use towards women who make them feel unworthy.

And the term actually originated in gay male culture, so the irony with that shit is so very, very thick
