276. you may quibble

Clearly the poster meant women were considered objects to be bought and sold, for the delectation of men. When you are the one on the receiving end of that perception, semantic hair splitting matters not. Your "disctinction" seems only to minimize the experience of those perceived and treated as human property; comprehending that experience is relevant to the thread.

As for African Americans, most have grown up on a continent far from where they might have been if "perception" had not altered "reality." "Changing social environment" physically and in every other way.




" "Women are objects to be bought and sold, for the delectation of men".

Women were never "objects"...They have always been people.

I think that distinction is important....After all, African-American Slaves were "objects to be bought and sold",

may have been TREATED as such, but that was not the reality.

They, like women, were perceived as such, but the situation ended

with laws and a changing social environment."
