by Larry Solomon from Biblical Gender Roles – Why it is NOT Wrong For Men to See Women as Sex Objects
Editor’s note: Every single time I think Larry cannot possibly get any viler in his beliefs he ups the ante. I’m skipping all the squishy sex parts in this because I hate throwing up.
Human beings use other human beings every day
Whether we realize it or not, every day we use other human beings as objects. When we get in a taxi we are using that taxi cab driver (an animate object) in conjunction with his car (an inanimate object) to take us to the destination we need to go to.
When you go to a sandwich shop and have the worker construct your sandwich just as you like it – you are using that person as an object to make your sandwich. When you go to get you hair cut – you are using that barber or hair dresser as object to cut and style your hair.
Farmers use human beings as objects all the time. During the harvest season a farmer may hire many temporary workers to harvest his crops before they go bad. He may have machines (inanimate objects) to do some harvesting and for other harvesting he may use animate objects (human beings).
These are just a small fraction of the way we use other human beings in our everyday lives.
Now that we have discussed that human beings are indeed objects and that human beings may use other human beings for various purposes we now need to discuss the rules and boundaries for the use of animate or inanimate objects.
We must have the right to use objects!
Here’s a few examples of Larry’s ideas on why wives own husbands sex upon demand by reducing it to a job like taking photos at a wedding or being a manicurist. No, just no!
Must we account for human feelings before using another human being?
We have shown that God determines what our usage rights are when it comes to all types of objects both animate and inanimate. But just because we have the right to use another human being – does that mean we can do so without regard for their feelings of whether they wish to be used or not?
The answer is in most cases is that human feelings are irrelevant when it comes to the use of one human being by another.
If you hired a photographer to photograph your wedding and on the day of the wedding he just had a fight with his wife or girlfriend and does not feel like working that day is it ok if he does not take your wedding photos? Do you have to take his feelings into account to use him as an object to take photos of your wedding? The answer is no. In fact you would expect him to have a smile on his face and not trouble you with problems on your wedding day. He was hired to do a job and he should do his duty regardless of his personal feelings or issues.
What if you and are your girlfriends planned a day to go to your favorite nail salon. Just before you get there the three ladies who would do your nails got into a big fight and they just want to go home and not do anyone’s nails. Would that be ok with you? Or would you expect them as their employer would expect them to do their duty with a smile on their face? We know the answer to this. You would expect them to do their duty with a smile on their face and for them to hide any ill-will or bad feelings they had as you used them as object to do your nails.
So here is the truth of the matter as far as humans using other humans is concerned. If one human has the right to use another human being for a specific purpose then then human being using the other human being has no obligation whatsoever to take into account the feelings of that human being as to whether they want to be used for that function. And from the perspective of the human being who is to be used for a certain purpose – they must always realize that their duty to perform their function as an object always trumps their feelings.
