The media objectifies women by removing their identities- by using rape as a visual tactic in ad campaigns- even integrating female bodies with objects. A woman posting a picture of herself that she likes is not objectifying herself; she's posting a picture she likes because she feels she's FREE to do so with her body. It's people like you who try to judge or shame women from doing as they please with their own bodies that are, in fact, objectifying women.
Really- the only reason this 'issue' angers you is because a woman has taken control of how her body is viewed, and it makes you angry, doesn't it? You don't feel she should have that power. On a social level we see this with things all the time. Recently, Miley Cyrus, for example, has been shamed endlessly because of a music video where she swings naked on a wrecking ball- yet everyone is praising the "Blurred Lines" video- where women are fully nude, having smoke blown in their faces, and are bending over. No one cares about those women- in fact, he's gone on to be nominated for that video. When a woman's sexuality is in a man's control, you think it's okay. When a woman takes a hold of her own sexuality, suddenly it's scary and wrong. You think you should have the power to degrade images of women because you dislike how they present their own bodies on their own terms. Ads |
