For those women who think objectifying women as sex objects is OK

149. Do you think going up in space (or simulating that) was her idea?

I think it's much more likely that she went along with an idea that other people came up with, and that those people were almost certainly men. And that they then sought out a model with appropriately sized breasts to take that job, and that the models were pretty interchangeable so long as that particular body part was appropriately sized. If Kate Upton wouldn't have done it, she could have easily been exchanged for a different model.

There is something called self objectification, but I think for this to have been an example of that, she would have had to think, "Hmmm I wonder what would happen to my breasts in a weightless environment? I bet men would really like to see that," and then should would have sought out the opportunity.

But a group of men wanting to see how breasts react to weightlessness is a pretty clear example of objectification. Her agreeing to it doesn't make it less objectification. If she'd said no, it wouldn't matter. Her breasts were the point, she wasn't. She was very much an object.

She has the right to choose to accept a job that objectifies her. I'm not debating that.
