Why is that objectifying? ::does not get what's wrong with appreciating sexual displays::
The way Spike treats Harmony as an sexual object and completely ignores her feelings. The way he knocks her out and doesn't even bother checking to see if she's okay.
I look on Spike's interaction with Harmony as being indicative of his bias against folks less intelligent than himself. His 'working class' crap aside, Spike's a snob. A different kind of snob than Angel, but a snob, still.
Spike: "You can't keep her from me!" Angel: "She's not mine to keep... or yours."
That was just Angel being pissy.
In the past, we had good arguments about why Spike wasn't a misogynist, that he respected and valued women, treated them as equals
I still see that. Look at how Spike interacted with Fred, or with Eve. But to whom he perceives as stupid? He's an ass. That's pretty consistent.
