[Discussion] Question about Feminism?

[Swizzik]

Okay as I was walking the halls of my college some lady was preaching about feminism and the portrayal of women in the media. She mentioned porn and advertisements, T.V. and even comic books I listened to her and decided to do some research on the topic. Last night I read articles written by feminist about how women were overly sexualized and not all that powerful in comic books and even in manga. This got me thinking about something were do you lay the line between being sexy and being sexualized by the media? I read something saying that women in the media are shown as being to perfect while not depicting how they are in real life and I got to thinking how is that sexist in any way shape or form. I thought hard about it and as much as I tried I did not think that Victoria Secrets model strutting around in her bikini showing off her goodies was sexist in any way. I mean sure not every woman looks like a victorious secrets model but not every guy looks like the old spice guy either. How can you deem something like a commercial or even a porn film as sexist and misogynistic(hehe cool word I learned from all those articles). It really doesn't make sense to me? Wouldn't you be demonizing female sexuality if you called it sexist to display it or even demonizing male sexuality for liking scantily clad women in their undies? Where do you draw the line between sexy and sexism, isn't that slut-shaming?

You should hear about what Radical Feminists say, stuffs like men are the enemies and should be gone while promoting lesbianism xd

As a woman I'd like to say that sometimes we make mistakes and instead of finding a solution we make the problem worse by blaming it on someone else. We were meant to be attractive and guys were meant to go nuts over us. Put two and two together and....

There are just as much *******s as there are bitches. Think about it. But since we can't get the idea that we are different, which is a good thing, we instead blame men and add to the problem.

I have way more to discuss but I have to go to work. I will post later when I get back.

Toodles. ;3

Wtf is this shit? Only thing I agree with is that girls should be more badass in comics and stuff rather than being damsel in distress

To each is his own I guess. Some women would agree with them and some wouldn't I am sure if you ask a porn star about if she feels that way she would probably say no. Most of them do it because they love to. Now on the other hand another woman might find it degrading but probably because she wouldn't do it her self.
I guess what I am trying to say is everyone is going to have different opinions on thing but that's because we all grew up differently and have different beliefs and interest. :shrug:

Doesn't really matter what Role they Play, Aslong as they have a Good Rack we shall keep Reading/Watching

 

[chaotykxninja]

it's just females being jealous because men are naturally more dominant in the world . u never hear guys bitching like this. u won't hear anything about masculinism.

I get the you want them to stop being damsels in distress but what do you mean by being more badass? Do you mean stronger, Better character and character development or less sexy clothing?

Some men bitch and moan, some women bitch and moan.

Can't have those who do bitch and moan describe every single other man/woman on the planet Earth.

Most feminists preach female superiority, not sexual equality. Yet they claim to hate men, but try so hard to look and act like men. Women and men are not born equal, I AM NOT SAYING ONE IS BETTER THAN THE OTHER! just in case anyone accuses me of that, but its true. Male and females are born with different strengths and weaknesses. Every person has a role he or she is best suited for, and feminists refuse to accept that and try to force opposing roles, and force their ideals onto others. Its not sexism, its evolution.

All I can say is ya got to appeal to your demographics. Lets face it, *** sells. It's all marketing.

But I do agree about the double standards. If women complain about one type of advertising/media where women are objectified, then they should complain about the same type of advertising/media where men are portrayed the same way. It's not all right for women to run around in two piece swimsuit in a commercial, but it's all right for guys to go around in swim trunks. I think that hurts the cause of women empowerment more because it sends the message that "ladies can't do this because it's sexist while the guys can because it's okay."

I'm not really a eloquent speaker when it comes to explaining my thoughts on a things like this, so I hope I didn't confuse any of you.

stronger, better character, up there with the OP guys instead of just crying xd

I think women that use their bodies to their advantage are the smart ones. Feminists are just jealous because they cant use their bodies to get men to do anything they want.

she tries to sell me something for 1/10 price, I make an excuse not to buy it and run away

she tries to sell me a cheeseburger for 200 dollars, I rob the nearest liquor store.


women who use what they have to get what they want are the smart ones, If I was a chick with a hot ass body, I would rule a country by now.
