Do you believe that a woman’s body evokes the same criticisms, emotions, reactions, and political implications than a man?

People can have the best intentions. That doesn’t mean that they don’t fall into the trap of lazy tropes and bad premises. Witness nearly everything by Joss Whedon.
“This artist doesn’t exclusively feature women’s bodies” Except in this project, which is the project we’re talking about. No matter how woke his other stuff is, this one is not.
Nice to see John Boehner still being a fuckwit in civilian life. Ted “Lucifer” Cruz wouldn’t be a thing if you hadn’t summoned him, you Tang hued satan worshiper.
Hyperbole? Maybe. But you’d be hard pressed to find a work where the “artist” the exclusively featured women’s bodies that weren’t their own that wasn’t exploitive in some way. We’re talking in the 95% range.
“groupthink as a scapegoat for personal responsibility” This sentence is so convoluted with weasel words I don’t think you know what you meant by it.
There is a first time for everything, I guess. All you’re telling me now is that he should know better.
I don't care what he's done before and if it's great and perfectly on message. This is not.
You trying to make me into a prude just shows how much you don't actually want to get what I and many others are saying here.
Love it when concern trolls ask for the big answers in a comments section. I’ll keep saying it: if you care about the subject look it up. There are plenty of women out there who are smarter than me talking about female objectification and how it differs from the objectification of men. Google it.
Tell me, with the female nude existing as art even in the most conservative eras and societies, what exactly is new and progressive about this? What is new about having a woman cover her face while revealing her body? That’s the definition of objectification. The nude woman is an over used catch all for wanting to be…
He calls it “Everything She Says” but it’s all about the body, not the words. Who could hear her anyway, with a big light in front of her face? All I can see is the T&A.
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’re a loving, caring earth mother! Now stop being so aggressive about that pay raise, go back to your baby, and make me a sandwich!
You’re exactly what I’d expect from that screen name of yours.
Yes. I’d probably just think she was more clueless than malicious. This is dumb no matter how you put it.
I saw Doug’s Facebook post. It seemed like a joke and no one in the comments took it seriously. He’s a creep so I would put that behavior past him, but, what power would he have to silence anyone?
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?
Empathy. Reasoning. Respect for facts. Ability to smell a bullshitting MRA whiner.
Sure you did, sweetie.
