Hello boys, you see anything you like? 3 thingsBrie never said anything hat men are scum.Pretty sure she can wear whatever she wants. That’s what feminism is all about.She didn’t get a boob job and EVEN if she did, what’s wrong with that? “Brie never said anything hat men are scum.“You weren’t paying attention or you didn’t care.“ Pretty sure she can wear whatever she wants. “Did I say otherwise?? If you address my points, will your brain explode?“ That’s what feminism is all about. “It mostly seems to be about hypocrisy.“ She didn’t get a boob job “Again, you either haven’t been listening or you are deliberately ignoring what is going on around you in favour of the pretty delusions you concoct. What happens if you look outside? Look around with open eyes, for a change? Did they wire an explosive to your brain stem? What is the worst thing that can happen to you if you actually have a thought of your own?“ EVEN if she did, what’s wrong with that? “Feminists have denounced women modifying their bodies to please men since day one. Feminists have also denounced men for ‘objectifying’ women by paying attention to their boobs.You don’t get it both ways. Either male sexuality is just as valid as female sexuality or it isn’t.Pick. ONE.I swear, Brie-stans are the worst…. I have no idea who Brie Larson is but from a quick Google search, it looks like she didn’t actually get a boob job - the reason her breasts may look bigger is because she used to compress her breasts, and now she doesn’tregardless, if someone wears revealing clothes, man or women, people are going to look, that’s just a natural human reactionhowever!the line is drawn when it comes to unsolicited sexual comments from one party to another - even if someone is wearing revealing clothing, it would be inappropriate to approach them and say “I would slam you on the table right now”, or something similaron the same note, I feel that it could be considered objectifying if someone is in a completely non-sexual situation, in a non-sexual outfit, like at the grocery store or something equally as mundane, and another person is exhibiting lecherous behavior or thoughts towards a personI don’t really have an opinion on feminism one way or the other off the top of my head but really it just comes down to what’s appropriate and what’s inappropriate to say to someone when it comes to the subject of objectifying someone OK, her boob job was widely discussed at the time, and there are topless photos around if you really genuinely believe the story that she was “compressing them”.You do have an opinion, but the trouble is you don’t know the arguments. I have been arguing on this topic since the 90s, and when someone wanders in to an argument without bothering to check what key terms mean, it is just irritating.What is “the male gaze”? Look up the original usage. No, not Wikipedia. Look it up properly.As for unsolicited comments, sorry you don’t like free speech but you are welcome to move to a country without it. You don’t get to dictate what others say in a free country, and they can’t control your speech either.Unless you suggest we arrest women who comment on male bodies? You are going to have to build one mighty big prison. well yeah, I don’t really think anyone should make an unsolicited sexual comment to someone, it doesn’t matter if they’re a man or a woman. that’s pretty much all I was saying. when it comes to conversation on the internet over a photo (or in this case, a gif?) it’s definitely more grey as it’s not towards someone, to their face, but rather making a comment on an inanimate object (an image).yeah, people can say whatever they want, free speech, but I also think people should have a basic amount of understanding what’s appropriate/respectful and what’s not in public and in societyI don’t like that you say “you do have an opinion” when I specifically said I didn’t, and I also don’t like that you’re being condescending; why can’t we just have a conversation about this like two normal people? I haven’t been ‘arguing this topic since the 90s’ but I would like to think I’m pretty familiar with the meaning of terms like “feminism”, “male gaze”, and “objectification”: just because I don’t have the exact same viewpoint as yours doesn’t mean I don’t know of the concepts OK, you really don’t seem to know anything about the topic, and instead want to talk about other things. I don’t know why you didn’t start a thread called “people should not make sexual comments in public” rather than hijacking this one but whatevs. As for being condescending, I can only imagine you are very young and only know about the world through Tumblr posts. Imagine an argument that has gone on for decades about The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and someone wanders in and says there is no trouble in Ireland because the leprechauns would not permit it.And every one laughs, because they must be joking, but no, no, all they know is from watching TV, and they have never actually checked any of it, and what is worse, they refuse to check any of it, and are certain they are correct, and that you are patronizing when you suggest going to a library.I mean, you could skim tags if that is all you are up to, but no, you can’t even be bothered with that.Go. Read. A. Book. Or at least watch a video.Something. Log off, engage brain, think.Unless you are prepared to do some work, we have nothing further to say. okay, I see this is going nowhere! thank you for your time, I hope life treats you better -- source link
