I'm going to write my reponses in order as compared to yours, except for this bit:
"i don't have a formal wrap-up at all (my brain is a little too fried at this point), but i just wanted to say that i appreciate your willingness to make this a dialogue."
And I would like to thank you in kind for your criticisms. This is exactly what I was hoping for (and had more success with on Facebook than here, apart from your response). I dunno if it was mentioned much in the article, but I was more interested in throwing these ideas out there, not proving anything. Most of me is "observations" which i might try to make seem like "assertions", and i'm quoting for, really i dunno why.
And yes, Trophy wives was the parallel given to me by someone else whom i had read the entire writing. So the questions I was mainly trying to answer, 1. Are women treated as objects in a nice way? Yes, IE Trophy wives, and 2. Does this mean that I personally treat them as objects? And for me the answer is no, because I don't regard them as either trophy wives or anything like that, I believe they are equal partners in terms of our relationship. The main conclusion I came to with my friend talking to me about this is that women are objectified if no respect is given to the fact that they have their own ideas, dreams, hopes, and their own soul.
And I'm not really making a point, i'm just making the point of asking the questions.
And I did avoid the LGBTQ couples, not for any reason except that I'm only specifically looking at male-female relationships. I have no quarrels with or against them, i just chose not to write about them. I'll continue more in response to your next article.
