Oh, my burning retinas
Commercials for perfume with images of half-naked women. Right.
So..if the perfume is marketed for women, shouldn’t they use half-naked men?
Oh wait, they couldn’t do that because that would be objectification of men,
and that is not acceptable in a patriarchal society. Showing the male body in parts
and pieces serves to portray the idea that perhaps the man isn’t a whole person
who has feelings, and the capacity for original thought. It certainly would
be a shame to set him up for billions of women to ogle, and insinuate that his
worth is based solely on his body. Well, now that I have written it out, I
understand it completely. Objectifying men would diminish their power, and
that could lead to violence upon them, and make all men feel less safe
in the world. That won’t do, pig.
