Chuq, go back to the base note. Read it carefully. See the words "sex object"?? See how all the articles and reponses use the words "sex object"??? It is true (and sadly so) that sexist *actions* are taking place all over. But what I asked was who knew anybody who ever treated ANYONE as a sex --->object<----... That, to me, means being treated basically as a set of genitilia walking around whose sole purpose in life is to have sex with the "admirer". Forget about brains, intelligence, personality.....forget about anything other than the genitilia. Think of them only as genitilia on legs. Now that's *A* definition of a sex object....And I know of noone who has ever treated someone like that. Does anybody?? Ross M. Greenberg @ NYU ----> allegra!cmcl2!acf4!greenber <---- Ps. In answer to your question: NYU is pretty enlightened --- I mean its not New Jersey or anything :-)
