I agree with Floorfiller that women are becoming powerful and in many ways dominant over men. I dont mind women in powerful positions but I do mind women that think society owes them something because they werent treated equally and have a feminist attitude. Granted women should still never drive. :tongue2 |
A year ago there was a popular theory that men were going to become extinct over the course of a couple million years or so. The rationale was that the Y chromosome was steadily deteriorating over time. It used to have over a thousand genes whereas nowadays it has 27. Compare this with the 1000 or so genes the X chromosome retains. The latest study, however, has shown that while the Y chromosome among other species continue to decline, in humans it has been remarkably resilient as it becomes more efficient. I think it fits in quite nicely with the stereotype that most women are unnecessarily complicated. |

But we ARE sex driven individuals..:confused: |
So by saying this, you prove my point.
You, as an america male, feel that men are sex driven individuals (and implying that we are to a greater degree than women)
If you beleive this is the truth, than you are truly a victim of the media. |

i took this course last semester for a credit about women in film and the way these people think about things is completely ridiculous. they over anaylze everything to the point of absurdity to try and justify what they want to. i'm not sexist or anti-feminist, but atleast be smart about it.
in today's world women are becoming more and more powerful and i think there will come a point in the next couple generations that women will replace men as the dominant sex, unless men get their together and keep up. in our generation i think women will be more educated, more successful, and socially more powerful then men whether it be dating, in the work place, whatever.
at least from what i see out there, women don't really have any worries about ads like these. true it displays female sexuality, but it does it for the most part in a powerful way. women are well aware of their sexuality in today's world and ads just increase the notion of women being desired and in that position of control.
seriously though, women tend to hold themselves to a higher standard and it's that fact that is slowly moving them and preparing them for success. we teach women these things from an early age, men however have very few encouraging factors pushing them to achieve in the same way. |
bull.
Women just bitch a lot.
The end. |

here's what i ran my mouth off to tricia on -
Aristronica: well here's the thing
Aristronica: i understand sex sells
Frenchie: yes it does
Aristronica: but what i was getting at is that women do not need to be put in a dominated roll in order for it to sell
Frenchie: yup
Frenchie: true
Aristronica: and like it's blatant and yet society doesn't see it. they focus on like iraq and stupid things like that
Aristronica: i don't give a if a girl gets half naked - cuz a dude taking his shirt off will do the same thing. but it's these subtle things that are almost subliminal sometimes
Aristronica: but they completely undermine the whole "feminist movement"
Frenchie: " " lol.
Aristronica: well i mean that's a very broad thing
Aristronica: cuz not every woman wants exactly the same thing as the next
Frenchie: EXACTLY
Aristronica: but as far as social equality
Aristronica: ads like that completely put that concept into the toilet
Frenchie: What happened to you going to bed?
(sorry babe had to include that last line :happy2: ) |
