The caption is perfect. No idea where it's from, but it makes me smile to think that these guys get it... women are objectified every second. But then I frown, because WHY AREN'T WE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Sadly I honestly feel that its too engraved into our culture for women to be sexual objects. They can have brains and power, sure, but at the end of the day they will be in stockings ready to please their husband. I wish it wasn't that way, but alas. American advertising expectations.
This past weekend I turned 21. I know right, woo. I never really had the desire to party or anything, so it was kind of exciting to be able to go out & legally order a drink. But I also wanted to go dancing. The sad thing is, I don't know where to go! When I think of clubs, my mind goes straight to radio station ads promising a great time & lots of "single ladies & people!" I don't want to meet anyone, I JUST WANNA DANCE! (Did Dane Cook die? He dropped off the planet for a minute...)
How women in the club are expected to dress & dance:
My idea of a good time:
It is comforting to know that there are men who exist who realize women are being objectified but I don't think making a picture like that is doing much to help the cause. Sadly, I have to agree that it is too engraved into our culture and I don't see a way to fix it. It seems as though some women ENJOY being objectified. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with wanting to please your partner but when it comes at the sense of your humanity, give it a rest! Realize there is more to you than just some man's toy. There is more to your being that those ripped stockings and heels you put on for him. Yes, men play a huge role in the objectification of these women but I think that's all we focus on. We seem to forget that these women are allowing it to happen to them and some don't seem to be doing a damn thing about it. If these women started treating themselves with respect maybe more men would follow suit.
