wtf...I never ever would even implicity think that we should stop talking about sexism - ..I don't think a conversation is constructive if you imply me saying things I nowhere mean and don't actually stick to what I meant..potatoe out.

Sorry, but you are missing my point entirely. Nowhere did I say that talking about seixm means we are crushed. I did not say anywhere that there should not be talk about sexism (that's what you imply again as of what I mean - which I don't) - I said that it would be, in my opinion, more constructive, to talk…
Nope, sorry that's not what I am saying at all. Never stated that we should not talk about sexists or sexism, in fact I would think that this would be a very regressive way of thinking - my point is that I think that it is more powerful to put our perspective on them first - instead of putting their perspective on us…
jup, there is also an article further down on jez.
No one asked me, but since this is a comment section I felt free to comment. I totally understand the sentiment, but there is an alternative to the line of thinking that goes "whatever I do, I will be reduced to my looks etc.". I don't ever think that about myself - why should I use that narrative to describe other…
No. Better version: Remember ladies, do nevertheless what you want to do and don't give a * about idiots who think your worth is equal to your looks. Society will get there - not anytime soon - but there is no point of giving up our own power.
The female body on a silver tablet. No no not sexist, not at all.
not sure. "oh well men are just idiots" is a very common line, in the spirit of "boys will be boys", also she plays out the women against each other, yet another trope..
Because you discussed either Jolie or Anniston being at fault - him having any responsibility was not part of your explanation - he is supposedly just an "idiot"
that picture is stuck in my mind since years. it's so intense + stunning
One of the women is at fault and the poor poor guy is just an idiot not responsible for anything? How original.
<Random Offtopic Sharing> Sitting on a bench almost midnight my time waiting for my train, while thinking about the intersection of race and class, and remembering how 1night stand told me not to think too much <End Random Offtopic Sharing>
wait. she was hitting on you?
Because in almost every fucking relationship I've been I had to take the responsibility for 90% of the relationship work. The idea of bringing up topics one has to discuss/work on seems to be foreign to many men. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be when kids are there. And then I have to listen to all the…
yeah I totally agree with you. My point was just that many other instances of objectification are being ignored or accepted. Though the point that here the objectification is even more extreme since it is not in an explicit sexual context makes sense (like nudity in porn is way more natural/less of a "decoration"…
Thanks for the very good explanation, though its not obvious to me why the focus on breasts in other context is not objectification. I agree that there is nothing shamefull about nudity and sexuality, nevertheless female attractivity is almost entirely reduced on body parts - in contrast of how male attractivity us…
Hm. Not sure. It seems to me that it runs deeper than that, obviously already that one group of people is objectified for the other group (men are in contrast rather "subjectified"), and the fact that the objectified view on women is seen as the "natural" view of men towards women, and the natural role of women in…
Oh Mr. Troll again. How are you? Still cute and stuff and confused? ^^
unfortunately hooters did not stick to the US..europe is full of them too..although haven't seen any in Scandinavia but many other european countries for sure. And I do mind women being reduced to body parts, especially since this objectification of women is effing everywhere - it's aesthetized power asymmetry
