Killing Us Softly: Advertising's Image of Women

blankfist says...

>> ^rottenseed:

name me one woman devoid of dick because of the social image of beauty, and I'll show you a broad who is unfuckable by anybody's standards...
What I mean to say, in a less crass fashion now, is that I like what I like, despite what these ads tell me is beautiful. I think a majority of men will agree that the love of their lives aren't represented by these ideals of beauty, rather they fulfill their own interests and fetishes. Unfortunately, in America, there's not a shortage of obese people perpetuating the gene pool, so that just goes to show you that these ads mean nothing other than to those that decide to make them an issue.

I agree that it is terrible that this is happening to men now. I don't think that is progress, I think it is a disease that is spreading.
The point you are missing, though, is that these are the VAST MAJORITY of the images that women see. Pay attention to the next movie or TV show you watch. How many "normal" guys are cast in parts? How many "normal" women?
While you are watching, switch the genders in your mind and imagine a woman who is of the same attractiveness level as the men. I think it will shock you when you realize that you see normal looking men ALL THE TIME and rarely do you see normal looking women.
What percentage of all posters/images are JUST male body parts? What percentage of men in the media fit this impossibly high



Good fucking point. If this is such an epidemic why are there so many fat people spawning?

This isn't feminism. This is more alarmist nonsense from people who want to shape society in their image or in a way that contradicts aspects of our instinctual humanity which makes them uncomfortable. The vocal people in here are the new prude prohibitionists who see what they perceive as ills in society (sin by another name) and want to stamp them out somehow. In this case, photoshop is the weapon, the cigar-gnashing Mad Men executives at the advertising agency are the culprits, and the mindless impressionable women are the victims.

Give it a rest. You want to be proponent of feminism? I say stop putting women down and making them into victims by reducing their intelligence to mindless sponges that uncritically absorbs everything fed to them. You know, maybe treat the women you're trying to claim are intelligent as actually being intelligent. That's probably a good place to start.

What are you Watching? (1sttube Talk Post)

Ornthoron says...

I just finished The Pacific. I really liked Band of Brothers, so I had high hopes, but in the end I felt it was not completely up to par with its predecessor. Nice to learn a little bit of WW2 history from the other side of the globe, though.

Right now I'm at a loss as to what I should watch next. I watched the first two episodes of Mad Men, and while I enjoyed the retro scenery, the storyline didn't really drag me in. I'm thinking of continuing on with season 3 of Dexter, and watch Arrested Development for comedy, since everyone speaks so highly of it. When Game of Thrones comes out, I will watch that. I would love suggestions, though. Things I've seen and enjoyed in the past:

-Deadwood
-The Wire
-Battlestar Galactica
-Firefly
-Doctor Who
-Rome

Yes, it is indeed him.>> ^L0cky:

Also did anyone else think the guy at the end who says "we're done for now" sounds just like (or is in fact) Bill Maher?

I'm gonna take a guess and say it's Aaron Staton who's currently in Mad Men. It looks like the modelling and mocap are also based on the actors as I recognised quite a few there.

"Beatrice" had a recurring role on Mad Men: season 4. She was the beatnik Life Magazine lesbian who was always hitting on Peggy.

Bit of trivia for you. Her name is Zosia Mamet, David Mamet's kid. I shit you not.


Ahh, right on!
