Men objectify women.
We mentally objectify everything.
D.H. talks of mental objects. Non-physical entities that can be perceived internally.
"Virtual objects...that float on neural hardware".
He compares them to objects in a video game.
What is the difference between the ones we imagine, like a red ball and one's we remember like my favorite red ball?
Are memory cartridges loaded into our mental-video-game-console which will emulate them for our internal perception?
Is there a differentiation between the perception of our memories and the perception of our imaginations?
Why is it so easy, to close my eyes and go back to somewhere I've been a thousand times, then take a step, and find myself inside of a soap bubble? The boundary between the two is unnoticeable.
We fill our imaginations with the world we've experienced.
