To be fair, they don't seem to be talking about banning things - but they do talk about licensing lap-dancing clubs, which seems pretty fair to me.

Personally, objectification doesn't really work for me - perhaps it is the obviousness that doesn't really appeal. (Though I'm not as bad as the friend who looked at a pin-up for some time and said "Did you notice that one breast is so much larger than the other?" Nobody else had, actually) A female friend reckons that most men can just drool over the individual bits of the body (breasts, leg, arse etc) rather than seeing the whole woman (or person, I suppose!).

I think my real concern is that women can be treated simply as objects - even if they are not playing that particular game. I know a woman who was groped in a pub, when she told the guy to stop (reasonably politely) she was told she should have been flattered! Part of the difficulty is we all have different dividing lines between erotic and sleazy.
