My aim is to examine the paradoxical effects that sexual objectification (SO) and self-sexual objectification (SSO)have on women. Women are expected to SSO themselves on social media platforms, in the music oradvertisement industry, to gain more followers, likes, and financial profit. I argue that the pressure and conditioningof SSO negatively affect the self-understanding of women and girls. Yet following from the 'sexual revolution' of the1960s, SSO is considered the hallmark of a 'liberated' woman. This generates what I call the 'Paradox of SSO': theSSO of women, while socially presented as liberating, ends up being alienating. I seek ways out of this impasse byturning to Foucault to illuminate SSO as a set of subjugating processes; and I rely on Kierkegaard to develop amodel of a more appropriate constitution of the self. Overall, my aim is to provide women with conceptual tools toachieve a freer self-relation, by balancing the demands of the world with those of the self.

我的目的是研究性客体化（SO）和自我性客体化（SSO）对女性的矛盾影响。在音乐或广告行业，女性被期望在社交媒体平台上SSO自己，以获得更多的追随者，喜欢和经济利润。我认为，SSO的压力和制约负面影响妇女和女孩的自我理解。然而，随着20世纪60年代的“性革命”，SSO被认为是“解放”女性的标志。这就产生了我所说的“SSO的Paramentary”：女性的SSO，虽然在社会上被表现为解放，但最终却被疏远了。我寻求摆脱这种僵局的方法，转向福柯，将SSO阐明为一系列征服过程;我依靠克尔凯郭尔发展出一个更合适的自我构成模型。总的来说，我的目标是为女性提供概念工具，通过平衡世界的需求和自我的需求，实现更自由的自我关系。
