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?

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