Videos
October 8, 2014 by Justin Lehmiller
“I am here today to talk about a lie…I’d like to talk specifically about the lie or the idea that being a sex object is empowering.”
In this TEDx talk, Dr. Caroline Heldman argues that American culture has led many of us to falsely believe that being a sex object is empowering.

What do you think? Check out the video below for more on Heldman’s perspective and share your thoughts in the Comments section below.
