Cameron Diaz: “Every Woman Wants to be Objectified — It’s Healthy”



Cameron Diaz makes the case for why some women “want to be objectified” in an eyebrow-raising, yet candid interview with the Sunday Times.

“I think every woman does want to be objectified. There’s a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think it’s healthy,” the actress tells the paper.

Diaz notes that she personally finds scantily-clad photo shoots to be “empowering.”

She says, “I’m not some young girl with the photographer going, ‘Will you take your clothes off?’ I’m like [mimes stripping], ‘How does this look?’”

“They’re like, ‘Today we’re not going to put anything other than bras and heels on you,’” Diaz continues, “and I’m like, ‘These heels are not high enough.’”


“I’m a woman, I know how to handle myself,” the What to Expect When You’re Expecting star adds.

Diaz explains, “I know what I feel comfortable doing and I know my sexuality."

I have definitely looked better in the past but a couple weeks ago two guys were cat calling at me while I was walking into Walmart. It was really really uncomfortable. Definitely didn't make me feel good about myself.

I kinda get what she means (that people--not just women--hopes to be seen as attractive), but saying it like that feels like it comes from a place of privilege, where she has a considerable degree of control over her fate and a feeling of securitya at most times. If all "objectification" leads to are catcalls and stares, I'm sure more people will be fine with being "objectified" a little.

Wanting to feel desirable and wanting to display a feminine sexuality is not the same as being objectified Cammie. *sigh*

My response to the pressed men in here who don't understand our perspective:

REJECTING FEMINISM: A GUIDE FOR CIS MEN

1. “Figure out early in life that equality is RAD! Equality, BRAH!
2. Deign to enter into a conversation about the inequality women face.
3. Like, almost fucking break something patting yourself on the back for it.
4. Encounter a woman saying something that rankles you.
5. Refuse to consider that it rankles you because you were raised to believe that everything you said, no matter how stupid, ill-thought out, or unfounded, must be considered with greater weight than the thoughts of a woman.
6. Start to clue into the fact that being a Cis Man doesn’t allow you to explain things to people about their own lives.
7. Think about this.
8. Get a little angry.
9. Think about it some more.
10. Get a little more angry.
11. HAVE A FAKE REVELATION: You are being silenced because of your gender.
12. ZOMG THATS WHAT THE FEMINISTS ARE AGAINST.
13. Realize that you are through the looking glass here people.
14. Read extensively about the concept of Male Privilege. <-- NOT
15. Read the Spark Notes on the concept of Male Privilege. <-- NOT
16. Buy the laminated reference card to Male Privilege
17. Use it as a coaster.
18. Barge into a Feminist Space.
19. Proclaim loudly that you are having doubts about this whole Feminism thing.
20. Begin to Mansplain Feminism.
21. Meet opposition.
22. Begin to Mansplain the proper method of discourse and discussion. Start every paragraph with “What you don’t seem to realize…”
23. Become apoplectic that NO ONE IS THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE EDUCATING THEM.
24. Repeat several times.
25. Reject Feminism.”

this is beautiful :O

it could also be retooled as Ignoring White Privilege: A Guide for White People. a lot of the steps are similar and it would end at Ignore White Privilege. Embrace Reverse Racism. Blow people's minds by suggesting a White Entertainment Channel.

Cameron Diaz with your fuckin frog lookin face and your jacked up wideways smile you need to shut the fuck up.

I'm so sick of her constantly parading around boasting about her love for fucking various men. Ok, we get it, YOU'RE A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE~**~ You're not like those OTHER women who prudishly keep their sex lives to their selves NOPE you're a BRO CHICK you drink beer with your tits on the table, fart, and make cat calls at anyone who wields a dick and Rolex watch. But to sit there on her basic mentally below average ass and allege that all women want to be objectified-it's like, has she ever gone to school? Does she read?? Does she talk to anyone who isn't born into a wealthy household like, what the fuck makes you that fucking stupid that you say all women want to be a sexual object.

BITCH. I want to take walks, pet my cat, watch anime, and giggle snort with friends-not take a million dicks up my ass like you do. There's way more to life than being attractive or having sex. Yes those things are nice, but no, absolutely not that does not mean that it's all an entire gender wants. Fuck, some women are straight up Asexual and don't want that kind of attention from ANYbody.

I just-get this white romantic comedy has been bitch out of my face I swear to god.

next time you want to insult someone try to leave her looks out of it. it invalidates everything else you said.
radiant 20th-Nov-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
damn, i knew from your first sentence that you were an angry asexual.
gigglyvapidslut 20th-Nov-2012 03:38 pm (UTC)

tragickingdomxo 20th-Nov-2012 12:08 am (UTC)
Ugh, fuck that. I had a guy whistle at me and I would have given anything to have thrown a wheat grass smoothie on his tacky "Southern Pride" pick up truck in response.

orangeandblack 20th-Nov-2012 12:19 am (UTC)
I'm torn between thinking they're dudes with mommy issues or girls who are pretending to be dudes to try to get even more attention to quench their thirst.

I hope I'm not one of them! That onyxobsidian guy is an idiot.
