  • I feel that the victimised sex is often Men. These adverts and many others, make Men feel like they need to be muscular and good looking to achieve in life.

    Women complain that Models are too skinny and it forces young girls to conform. What the hell do mens adverts do then?...
    The rise of male eating disorders and depression signifies that society underestimates the affect the use of the human body to promote "the perfect image" has on men.

    There are far too many women that think the most important thing in life is straightening their hair and being taken on expensive dates. If a man then treats her as his trophy is he a SEXIST? Is he to blame?

    For every man that wishes Pendalton was their future wife there is a women who wants some hunky pro footballer to be their future husband.

    The only reason it seems that Men objectify women more is because Men complain about it less when its done to them. Society dictates that they should not be sensitive.... which in itself is sexist!
    There is so much in this that I agree with and was by and large the main reason for me getting "object" tattooed on my side.

    Marketing has turned the human body into a commodity, we are no longer our minds or our decisions purely a value derived from the perceived aesthetic worth of whichever current media indoctrinated stylized version of humanity people happen to be paying attention to this week.

    RP, I salute you.
