You’re making my point for me. Women’s bodies have been used over and over again throughout history. What exact is the amazing political statement in more naked women? Objectification like this is overused and passé.

You realize that the photo above is NOT from the event he is planning?

It absolutely IS objectification. If it weren’t, he wouldn’t need their naked bodies to make his point. He NEEDS tits to make his point. That’s 100% objectification. The thoughts, fears, and concerns of the woman, the things that truly make her a whole woman, are irrelevant and unnecessary for his white mans message.…

Maybe. Tunick has been doing these photographs for over 20 years. He’s a fairly well known and respected fine artist. There is a huge difference between his work and pornography objectifying women. I think it’s an inherent problem with artistic symbolism you bring to light though. One person’s empowerment is another…

LOL, no, fuck off.

Originally I thought the artist was female, and my thought was “this woman is so far up her own ass she’s probably coming out of her own mouth.”

Yeah, I’m not really thrilled with the reinforcement of the idea of women’s bodies as an “embodiment of nature” more than men’s bodies. The woman-as-nurturing-earth-mother-figure is not necessarily feminist. When it’s used to suggest that women are fundamentally different from men—more nurturing, more connected to…

Yeah, I have a hard time seeing it as anything else too. It’s amazing how naked women can be used as a symbol for nearly anything. Thing is, no matter what the subject, it’s still objectification. This thing is especially dubious since it’s a white dude yelling “for our daughters!” LOL, wut?

*whispers from the corner*

you are and you should stop it because you’re a real asshole here. AND you don’t even have the facts of the story right. And his movies are shit. They’re pedestrian and cliches of themselves.

You are gross.

How is a man who groomed and raped his 7-year-old daughter (and then acted like he did nothing wrong and dragged her name through the mud) only semi-stinky in your world? Are you smoking crack?

I am. You should be ashamed of the things you’re spouting.

“Sad, not-hot women.” Bwah ha ha. Count me among them.

TL;DR: I am now a sentient Fleshlight.

I just want to point out that you started off by saying the women who say SSM is a cult are“fucking crazy” and then proceeded to write a 10 thousand word single paragraph incoherent ramble.

Here’s the thing: I wasn’t sure, based on the article, what to think at first. However, having read your comment here and others by people getting defensive and decrying this article, I am now 100% sure this is a cult.

I don’t pick ‘em - I engage every one. It’s goddamn exhausting

I’ve read your entire comment, and the only thing I got out of it is that Superstar Machine is even more sexist than the article depicted. Thanks for the insight!

Brilliant film, particularly where he starts to get sucked into the image himself, and has a hard time reconciling his original intent with what he had become in the minds of other people, and how to get out of it without hurting them.
