Is Quantification Worse Than Objectification?
I have decided not to devote a whole big post to the article that had me so disturbed last night. I'll just leave it with a few quotes from the article ...
“(T)he thrill of quantification merging with the thrill of the chase” …
“The systematic, quantified pursuit of women tends to make men bitter and resentful.” …
“‘You know,’ his grandmother told him, ‘we’re women too.’” …
“I didn’t even know this sphere existed in humanity.”
And just to cleanse the palate of THAT human sadness, please enjoy this image, which Google says is labeled for re-use, so I am stealing it based on the plausible deniability that I trust Google's rulings on usage rights ...
Sigh.
