"selfishness, superficiality and female independence" One of these things is not like the others.

"female independence through hyper sexual objectification" is meant as a single element in that list, at least that's how I read it.

I hope this is a case of forgetting the Oxford comma.

I think we can be charitable here; I'm 99% sure most of us would agree with the intent of the OP.

I was hoping for an erroneous "in" ;)

The implication seems to be that female independence gained at the price of "hyper sexual objectification" is not as noble as that gained through e.g. hard work and responsibility?

I'm not the OP but I read the third item as being "female independence through hyper sexual objectification".

Maybe because it let's everybody feel superior over someone else.
