JoCat is Not Sexually Objectifying Women and Here are the Reasons Why

JoCat has gotten into a controversy revolving around a rap song and people are berating him for his rap song because his rap song sexually objectifies women. Before I give any further commentary, I want to make it clear that I condemn sexual objectification wherever I can find it. But are these claims true? Do they actually have any merit of their own? The only way to find out would be to break down and analyze the offending lyrics in question.

“I like big girls. Pretty kitty girls. Really witty girls. Singing ditty girls. I like the leggy girls with the nice thighs. I like a Good Chest no matter what size. I like the belly folds. I like the six packs. Really tall queens and the short stacks. From the mild girls to the wild girls. You got style, girls. Make ’em riled, girls!”

Okay, so now we know what the song is all about. But does it sexually objectify women? The short answer is no. “How so?” you may ask. Allow me to explain. There seems to be a bit of confusion about how sexual objectification works and how attraction in general works. When a man or woman sees another person who happens to be good-looking and ends up having a liking for them after seeing them, that’s not sexual objectification.

Sexual objectification is when you dehumanize another person by reducing them to the value of their body parts. For example, if a man were to see a conventionally attractive woman in a red dress with rather modestly sized breasts, defined thighs and an overall slender body and respond to her appearance by saying “Oh, wow! Fresh new cheeks,” that would be sexual objectification. This is because he is reducing her to a commodity by talking about her that way. Like she is a piece of meat intended for consumption by an animal. Like she is property that is his for the taking.

JoCat doesn’t actually do this in his song. When he expresses his attraction to women, his fascination isn’t based entirely on physical attributes. Instead, he mentions other things that would make him find women attractive like their intelligence and their talents in addition to making it clear that their is no one body type that would actually be a turn-off for him. Not only is this song a far cry from the misogynistic attitudes held by the likes of Andrew Tate and other self-proclaimed alpha males within the manosphere, this song is designed to humanize women by proclaiming them to be inherently beautiful and that their self-worth as people lies in more than just their bodies. This song is an antithesis to the sexual objectification of women that would no doubt be celebrated by the same female-bashers that I had already talked about. I hope I have cleared up any confusion that had previously existed. There’s more to men admiring the beauty of women than having racy feelings towards them.
