Nothing like the objectification of women to advance an agenda geared toward female equality and empowerment. Right, feminists?
I'm sure Weinstein is thanking you copiously for it.
Comment: He's not the only one.
Ratajkowski has been a fervent "feminist" for quite some time, and lately has developed quite a voice when it comes to acknowledging and decrying allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and rape. Yet she, a thin, white, cis woman who has probably never ingested carbs in her life, is parading herself around like a sex object.
Comment: Oh, nasty. Guess which strain of Feminism you're infected with? Notice the side swipe to thin, white and cis privilege? Intersectional Feminist much?
She's crying out against men objectifying and harassing women, when she literally allows (and celebrates) her own objectification into a plate at an Olive Garden. Not to mention the fact that she has dozens of pictures of herself either half- or completely naked on her Twitter profile, which was research I REALLY didn't want to have to do, but it is what it is.
Comment: You're not fooling anybody. We all know you and Julie Bindel have that page double bookmarked.
Digression aside, the irony of this is absolutely hysterical. And incredibly irritating.
The theme for the LOVE calendar this year was #StayStrong. Yet nearly 80% of the Day 1 video compilation features half-naked women with their nasty bits right up in the camera.
This video is the very definition of "sexism."
Comment: But made by women. But...sexism is power + privilege. And since women have no power, it's not sexism. God Bless Intersectional Feminism.
Maybe it's just me, but I fail to see how sexualizing women like this accomplishes anything productive, aside from empowering male masturbation (and female, if that's how you roll). Full disclosure: this video is basically soft core porn, so don't watch if you think Mom or Wifey might barge in on you or something.
Comment: Can't empower male or lesbian masturbation.
(God, I feel self-conscious even including this in here. Also, about the thumbnail...I'm sorry?)
And we wonder why sexual assault and harassment are such a pervasive issue in our society?
Comment: Because you keep broadening the definitions to beef up the numbers so you can get more attention and financial subsidies? No? Oh.
It's because women want to be seen as sexual creatures, praised for embracing their sexuality. And the second a man thinks to compliment them on it or ask them to dinner or hold open a door for them so they can a) act chivalrous for a change, and b) get a nice look at dat ass...they cry that they are being objectified.
Comment: You're banned from using the word "dat."
Which is it? Do you want to be seen as a sex object, or don't you?
Comment: They kind of already answered that one, didn't they?
You can't have it both ways. When you objectify yourself, you won't just have Christian Grey's and Edward Cullen's looking at you. You'll also get Harvey Weinstein's and Roy Moore's. You CANNOT call it sexual harassment just because it's a guy you don't find attractive.
Comment: But, but, you can have it all baby? Having it all by definition means you can have it both ways.
So decide, feminists. Before what's left of your pathetic excuse for a movement loses its legitimacy, if it hasn't already.
