I've been thinking about this <a href="http://www.finslippy.com/blog/on-being-an-object-and-then-not-being-an-object.html">powerful post</a> by Finslippy for a couple of days now. You should read it, and the comments, as well. The comments are almost as good as the post.

In the comments a few women mentioned how they've made themselves less attractive on purpose, to protect themselves from unwanted male attention.
