I?m baffled by the seemingly widespread failure of people to understand what hypocrisy is.
What media can one
use to argue against chauvinism and objectification if the internet is off limits then?
Answers on a post card......
I don't think either chauvinism or objectification are against the law per se. They represent a state of mind and a personal choice. I have no objection to hen parties where randy women drool over Chippendales if that's their bag, Those dancers choose their careers as do the grid girls. Many say they get a kick out of it and they certainly make a very generous living out of it.
Predatory behaviour and sexual assault are against the law and are abhorrent but I believe the sisterhood are taking the opportunity to unfairly demonise men generally.
If you saw the Oscars you will have observed all those actresses standing shoulder to shoulder in a general attack on men. Now what do you think will happen the next time they are in competition with each other for the same part? Of course, all of those brave souls would never have ever heard the word "Casting couch" which has been around since the days of Marilyn Monroe, because if they had at least one of their strong band would have taken a stand against it before.
Regarding financial equality. had you ever heard of Carrie Gracie before a month ago? I can honesty say I had not but I had seen reports from Jon Sopel on a regular basis. Yet, apparently they do exactly the same job. Could, perhaps, there be less stories reported from China? Just a thought.
If things carry on the way they are, I predict that the population will reduce substantially when the only remaining erotic stimulation helping us menfolk to perform will be pictures of female lab assistants in white coats and publications of Women Atom Splitters Monthly, Presumably, that is what will be handed to men in the infertility clinics of the future.
Many women I know including my partner agree that it has already gone too far and can only see it getting worse. IMHO if things carry on the same way, women with suffer as much as men, The darts and grid girls are just the start.
