Why do people say stupid shit like "Oh, females suffer from the persecution complex!"?
Excuse me.
Women can't:
1) Drive in Saudi Arabia.
2) Vote in Saudi Arabia and the Vatican.
3) Testify in cases of adultery (ie rape) in Yemen.
4) Get an abortion in various parts of the world, including Ecuador (unless if they are an "idiot")
5) Get justice if they get raped. On the contrary, they get blamed for it in places like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.
6) Leave their house without their husband's permission in Yemen.
7) Get "power" degrees (ie degrees in the STEM fields) in various countries around the world.
8 ) Get justice if they were assaulted by an athlete in America.
9) Get justice if they were victims of a gang rape in India.
10) Get justice if they were trafficked to work in the sex trade industry in a foreign country. On the contrary, the US usually deports those who try to seek help, making the situation even worse.
Women are:
1) Still treated like sex objects by the mainstream media.
2) Still underrepresented in science and politics.
3) Still being told what to wear- whether it is through burqa ban laws or compulsory hijab laws.
4) Still forced to marry against their will in various parts of the world.
When was the last time any feminist group screamed and cried to defend their muslim sisters and their rights in public?
Instead you find that $20 bad designed bitgirl's website to be too offensive. "OMG! They used "
The"! Can you believe it? "
The!" OMG OMG!!!!!!"
Then you would point to how amazingly positive for the cause of women a million $$ website like kink.com is great for the female image, backed by the endorsement of multiple big names in the media on their front page. Not saying "you" as in "
The You" posting on bitcointalk" but all people (women and men) sharing that way of thinking.
Hypocrite much?
How am I a hypocrite for criticizing the objectification of women?
Would you like it if there was a picture of you up there, going "How much for the Wilikon?"
You're changing the topic by bringing up kink.com
Trust me. If the picture of
The Wilikon was on that website they would lose money.
Regarding kink.com, your reaction is remarkable. The use of "
The" is more important, defining what a sexual object a woman can be on a website (made by one dude it seems) none of us heard of than how the women on kink.com are paid to be used at (living urinal pretty much). A website and a location in San Fran, developed and maintained with a budget of hundreds of thousands a year by a full staff.
I thought the main subject of this thread was how women's image as sexual objects was reprehensible. I do not deny that fact. I was merely pointing to other more famous, bigger money making websites, defended by many feminists as a victory for the image of women, and promoted by the main stream media, on their homepage. How am I changing the topic?
Have you ever visited kink.com? Some women are so flexible they make Mr. Fantastic's sphincter playing with a bowling ball cries with envy...
