The idea behind this post was to point out the very different and sexist ways your website allows dolls of different genders to be described.<BR/><BR/>We did not try to challenge the statements you made that "Some people need this." The biggest issue was with the descriptions. Explicit discussion of the value of the products themselves was kept to my own musings in the comments.<BR/><BR/>Just want to clear that up. <BR/><BR/>As far as how to make these descriptions better/less harmful, I will have to get back to you after I think about that for a while.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-48900414658768468172009-04-05T09:01:00.000-05:002009-04-05T09:01:00.000-05:00I am an owner of Racy.com and the goal of this bus...I am an owner of Racy.com and the goal of this business is to help clean up, organize, and make people feel comfortable with themselves and the "objects" needed to help them. Some people need this. Just as some people need someone of the same sex. I do see some issue with the text on our site that you wrote and I don't want to keep you up at night bothered by our site.<BR/><BR/>If there is a better way to describe these products I am all for it.Jonhttp://www.racy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-57552041862091438872009-03-27T16:44:00.000-05:002009-03-27T16:44:00.000-05:00Well, Anon, I find it troublesome that you do not ...Well, Anon, I find it troublesome that you do not see this as objectification of women. It quite literally taking the female form and turning it into an object meant for the pleasure of men. That is objectification, and is extremely problematic because it promotes the idea that women are objects and it is okay to treat them as such (especially if one takes the time to consider the fact that the male dolls are not discussed in the same way).Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-49376372263387514312009-03-27T12:33:00.000-05:002009-03-27T12:33:00.000-05:00I'm curious..How do you objectify an object?You ca...I'm curious..<BR/><BR/>How do you objectify an object?<BR/><BR/>You can't really objectify a sex doll, it's already an object.<BR/><BR/>It's not a woman deserving of rights and respect, it's a sex toy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-14219038140441754262009-03-26T20:14:00.000-05:002009-03-26T20:14:00.000-05:00I can't say I know anything about sex dolls beside...I can't say I know anything about sex dolls besides what I have read about them (mostly about RealDolls) on feminist blogs, but the difference you point out between descriptions of male and female dolls is interesting. It really just points to the fact that in this society it has become troublingly easy to objectify and demean women (and representations of women) without fear of consequences.<BR/><BR/>I am definitely for sex toys suitable for all genders and sexualities, but the idea of dolls kind of bugs me because shaping the toys like humans (many of which are female) lends itself to the horrid objectification of women as you describe in your post.<BR/><BR/>Now I know there have to be ways to create sex toys for male-identifying people that do not have such qualities. I am interested to see what other options are available, if any.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post, Tasha. :)Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884754298018500343noreply@blogger.com
