Confirmed - Women Are Objects

A new study of male behaviour, reported in the National Geographic confirms that sexy women in bikinis really do inspire some men to see them as objects.

Brain scans revealed that when men are shown pictures of scantily clad women, the region of the brain associated with tool use lights up.

Men were also more likely to associate images of sexualized women with first-person action verbs such as "I push, I grasp, I handle," said lead researcher Susan Fiske, a psychologist at Princeton University. Read more about the study here.

If a similar study were done with women, Fiske told National Geographic News, it would be hard to predict whether a woman shown a scantily clad male body would dehumanize him in the same way.

Evolutionary psychologists have proposed that women tend to look for mates who have wealth and power, so some of Fiske's colleagues have suggested running a similar test where women are shown pictures of men next to expensive cars or other affluent symbols.

But Fiske doesn't think such an experiment would work the same way, because women usually react to men they desire by "interpreting their minds, thinking about what they're interested in, and then trying to please them," she said.

Men were also more likely to associate images of sexualized women with first-person action verbs such as "I push, I grasp, I handle," researchers said in February 2009.

World's Sexiest Malaysians

If low moral values and scant civility can be equated with low-cuts and skimpy attire, Malaysian politicians are the world’s sexiest people. If the perversion of government perpetuated for its own wealth and power can be equated with fetish indulgence, Malaysian politicians are the world’s most sexually perverted people.

Instead of progressing to achieve Vision 2020, Malaysia is, in fact, descending towards the lowest possible moral ground. Elected representatives and politicians are taking this country spiralling down that path. Effectively, the people who elected them are being betrayed. Now, who should be brought to justice for treason and betrayal? Don’t these politicians and elected representatives have any conscience?

As our politicians bring down this country to the low moral ground, everything else goes down in tandem – our education system, our value system, the standards of our sports, the capacity of our human capital, the standard of innovation and so on.
When we pollute our environment until the rivers become dead, who picks up the bill to do the clean up? What’s our moral obligation to our future generation? Where’s the civility to know that we must leave to our future generation, a better world? Not one that is polluted and not one that they need to clean up and yet having to foot the bill for the cleanup.

Lets make civility sexier than the perversion of government.
