Banned keywords reappearing in different guise

Similarly, there is also a problem with the keywords implying "objectification."  It's as if someone(s) has (have) been influenced by their gender studies classes in college, and are  applying these keywords in a misguided attempt for political correctness.  "objectification-of-men," "objectilfication-of-women,: "male-objectification," "female-objectificstion," "women-as-object" (but, interestingly, no " men-as-object"), etc. should all be deleted and banned.

I adamantly disagree with the premise posed by Mr. Kent in this quoted excerpt. Plenty of films focus on the objectification of women as a plot device. There was never any reason to ban keywords like "objectification-of-women."

(I am actually surprised that Mr. Kent ever objected to these keywords in the first place on the basis that they were apparently too politically correct for him. With that said, this was three years ago; his thinking may have changed since then.)

However, I have an entirely different reason for commenting on this post. In my opinion, "male-objectification" and "female-objectification" are two of the dumbest widely used keywords on IMDb. But the problem has nothing to do with politics.

Rather, the problem with "male-objectification" and "female-objectification" is that they are hopelessly vague. When I see the keyword "male-objectification," I cannot tell whether a male character is doing the objectification, or is being objectified. In other words, is "male-objectification" a synonym for "male-chauvinism" or for "objectification-of-men?" I honestly cannot tell. 

Over the years, I have added "objectification-of-women" to a few titles when that was clearly part of the plot. Each time, some unknown contributor has changed my keyword contribution to the colossally stupid and inferior keyword "female-objectification." After having this happen a few times, I simply gave up adding these types of keywords to IMDb.

A contributor might argue that the keyword "female-objectification" is understood by that contributor. But I can assure you that this understanding is not universal. 

There is a similar problem with keywords like "male-rape" (you can't tell on the face of the keyword whether a male has been raped or has committed the rape), "child-murder" (you can't tell whether a child has been murdered or committed a murder), "child-rape" (same thing). Facially vague keywords like this should be replaced with clear and specific keywords like "rape-of-a-man," "man-rapes-a-man," "male-rapist," "male-rape-victim," "murder-of-a-child," "rape-of-a-child," "child-rapist," "child-rapes-a-child," etc.

And the same goes for "male-objectification" and "female-objectification." These keywords should be abandoned in favor of "objectification-of-men," "objectification-of-women," "objectification-of-boys," etc. Or even just the broad but accurate "objectification" could be used when in doubt.

I suspect my proposal will never happen, because the keywords "male-objectification" and "female-objectification" are quite popular on IMDb today (in particular the keyword "male-objectification":

But at a minimum, whomever keeps changing "objectification-of-women" to "female-objectification" should really stop. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the keyword "objectification-of-women," and it is a far superior keyword to the facially vague "female-objectification" 

I did vehemently object to the "male-female-relationship" keyword and to the "male-objectification" and "female-objectification" keywords, but I was apparently overruled.  (At one time, the "male-female-relationship" was deleted, but it has reappeared.)

To me, EVERY title that has men AND women in it could qualify for a "male-female-relationship" keyword.  Apparently, others feel that it just applies only to a romantic relationship.

I have also stated before that ANY title that has a male and/or female in it could qualify for a "male-objectification" and/or "female-objectification" keyword.

My contention all along was that these three keywords should be deleted since they are so general and, therefore, meaningless and useless.  (There may be some exceptions on the "objectification" keywords, especially on exploitation titles.). And, this has nothing to do with political correctness.

By the way, personally, I NEVER submit these keywords.
