"I also realize that objectifying a man is not precisely the same thing as objectifying a women, and pretending it is (like many are) would be ignoring the hundreds of years of unequal and systematic subjugation and objectification of women."

For the record, I don't think there's anything wrong with you ladies talking/gawking over Jon Hamm's penis, but it's starting to get a bit ridiculous coming from the same editorial staff that decries the objectification of women as the mark of a sexist patriarchal society.
"Sexy dancing underpants-ladies" is not (I repeat NOT) inherently sexist! I'm so sick of hearing about the "objectification angle" from the same people who run "Thighlights" segments (which are also not inherently sexist).
Yeah, I basically just said the same thing in a different comment. The beauty of the first to movies was that the Happily Ever After, while implied, was not assured. And I think that was what made these movies brilliant- they were great metaphors for real-life love, with all it's complexities and dangers.
I loved the first two movies, but I'm wondering if a third is necessary? The first and second films had the most perfectly ambiguous endings that were just magnificent in how they haunted you with all the unresolved plot lines- forcing the viewer to wonder. I'm worried this one will be the happily ever after that…
God, animals are just SO much better than people.
I don't see the big deal here. Noting her attractiveness does not inherently mean they don't think she's a good scientist. When a guy meets a girl that's both really into the same thing he is AND super hot we tend to go a little crazy. That's not sexist though.
Amanda Bynes and the House GOP: United in their opposition to the Violence Against Women Act.
Well I think the implication is that she'd like to get stabbed.
I think a lot of men are just as sensitive about this, just not outwardly so.
Well said. Neither bothers me, for the record, but I'm glad someone realizes the hypocrisy here.
Perfect sense. Look I'm not a huge fan of the terms 'feminist' and 'patriarchy' because of the gender identities that are associated with the terms, but I believe that society skews towards male privelege to a certain extent, and I'd like that to not be the case. The cause however, is not a male conspiracy, it's a…
Bravo.
That's the BEST kind of surprise.
Re-read your batshit crazy comment and honestly think about who really seems to be in need of attention.
That's a stupid reason to bring it up, but really, you shouldn't be photographing other peoples' kids without their parents consent anyways....
But that internalized misogyny isn't just being ingrained in the girls, it's the boys too. Boys don't start life as part of "the patriarchy" just because they're born with a penis, it happens because of the culture they're brought up in, which includes at least half as many women as it does men.
Bravo sir. +1
Interestingly enough "The Cleveland to Baltimore Flight" is the title of a documentary about Art Modell's tenure as a pro football franchise owner.
I strongly disagree. The reason a woman will never be president is because people like you think they can't talk about sex, or acknowledge the fact that they can be sexual beings, and also professionals.
