@@PerseusClassic Nah he/she's right. They're just chilling in this particular echo-chamber today. Religious based morality falls short not because the outcome is overtly ugly... But because it relies primarily on fear and shame to keep people "in line" which is where the "ugly" lies. It may not at first, but it will eventually, as they said, it inevitably devolves to zealotry, because we can't STILL our selves. So the pendulum swings. This is also why it's so easily torn asunder by a few decades of propoganda. It's weak. Fear is a shitty foundation, if one at all. Even fear of God or Hell. It attempts to condense a very nuanced entity like humanity into a ridiculously small box of mind-made dos and donts. Pressure inevitably builds and BANG. One or two influential artists come forth with songs of "liberation" or whatever. And an outward explosion ensues. And since our main issue is an inbility to STILL ourselves we can't control it and the pendulum swings as far as it can until we've got articles claiming inc**tuous relationships are somehow acceptable. And "MAPs" attempting to normalize the vile crime you and I know "it" to be. One side is overtly ugly, laden with blood and tears. The other is equally ugly, just veiled in clothing, high birth-rates and prayer. Both sides of the same coin. Both need eachother to continue surviving both use US as pawns in it's filthy little game. Realize cessation.

She suffered the loss of her second child who died of a fever at 6 months old because it was breakup season and they couldn’t get a plane in. She washed and dried clothes in the middle of the winter. She shopped at second hand stores after her and Grandpa moved into town. She is the definition of a strong woman. She never complained about her life. When I say, “That must have been hard” she just shrugs and says “It’s just what you did back then.” A strong woman is my other grandma who followed her husband to Alaska with a toddler and a baby, driving through Canada in a pickup truck with a camper. She left her parents and sisters back on the farm and moved to a place where she knew no one. She stayed married for 55 years to a man that was not easy to live with. These are strong women.

Not even from a religious/purity/ect standpoint, just from the fact that sex will always release bonding hormones and inevitably you're going to end up in terrible relationships with incompatible people because you end up feeling a bond far too quickly. To this day I still haven't had a truly happy relationship with someone who's values and ideals are compatible because sex is just expected within the first handful of dates and I allowed myself to believe the lie that if I didn't have sex with the man I was trying to date I'd never find anything long term.

Don't just pick them up from school and plop them down in front of the TV while you go about doing what you want. Letting TV parent your child is one of the biggest problems these days.

Also, all these men talking about pair bonding and all this bullshit have no problem sleeping around and ruining all their sexual partners abilities to “pair bond” AND actively avoiding any self control or accountability in the future yet want a perfect young virgin who has never been touched. Why would those men, who constantly use women’s bodies, even deserve someone like that. And what makes these men believe the illusion that they’ll ever be able to settle down and be loyal to one person after years of recklessness is beyond me. Pathetic.

Most men I know find it a gross turn off when a woman who thinks she has "something to show" goes around strutting like a pigeon. It comes across as sad, insecure, desperate, self-absorbed and vulgar. But we smile and nod and some even make stupid attempts at compliments because we sense the woman is suffering and is hoping that making her tits the centre of the universe will make her feel better about herself. Meanwhile the women who act with dignity and grace are the ones we admire. The people who make a big deal about big breasts are the women with them and a % of guys with a fetish for them. A lot of people though greatly prefer a more refined shape or just don't care either way. It's sad that women with a more refined shape are made to feel bad about themselves by those who go on and on and on about their busty-ness. It looks like a school playground of mean girls finding a reason to bully other girls.

[@eepyru]

One of the biggest questions I've always had is, why do we women need to show skin but men can roam around fully covered, and no one says anything, instead it's the norm for them to do so. That itself just says so much to me. I'm a 17 years old Muslim female, and people get weirded out by me dressing modestly, and I just don't understand, why? They tell me that I'm sexualising myself indirectly. I felt so weird, like these people will do anything to gaslight me and make me feel like I'm stupid and oppressed for dressing modestly. I always wondered, how is dressing in very revealing clothes NOT sexualising and objectifying. Instead it's seen as empowering. I just can't believe that I live in a world where dressing modestly is considered wrong. If anything, dressing modestly has done me so much good. Most people upon seeing me, respect me because they immediately think of me as a woman who is close to God, and number two, they view me as someone who's more than just a body. It does the complete opposite of whatever you just talked about in the video, yet I'm still made to feel bad about it. I also always say this: I know that seeing someone as just a body is not right in certain circumstances, but we also need to realize that we as humans usually see other people as objects. When you go out and look around, most people actually just appear as objects to you. You don't feel some very deep emotional connection to them or something unless you're close to someone, you know what I'm saying? So viewing strangers as just bodies or ‘objects’ is actually pretty much a natural thing, and what women who dress in very revealing clothes, example cardi b in wap, are doing is basically making themselves look even more like objects or just mere bodies. Then people get mad at others for viewing them that way I mean c'mon now. They're literally encouraging other people to objectify them even more, and if you can't see that I don't know what to say or what to do. Anyways, good video, I learnt quite a lot LOL!

But the whole argument is that women do need to be empowered because they feel they lack power. Here's an analogy: Choosing a contraceptive, as a young bloke you get exactly the condom to "choose" from while women get so many methods that are 10 times safer. If you're in a relationship and aren't using condoms and she forgets to take the pill it's now your problem too. That can make a man feel powerless. This is akin to how lots of feminists feel towards their issues.

I have taught various styles of dance at a local event venue, and I have always been completely shocked at the behavior of the female attendees at the dance parties. The music tends to start with tunes from the 50s and 60s which we have taught them to actually dance to, and things usually go fairly well. However, as soon as anything from the 70s or later comes on, any attempt at actual dancing usually comes to an end and the sexual motions begin. It's a pretty quick progression from there to music of the 80s and later, where many of the lyrics are blatantly objectifying and... I mean, have you HEARD Get Low by Lil Jon? Or even the Wobble? I like getting an eye full as much as the next guy, but there is no possible way I can enjoy watching those proceedings because part is being attractive is confidence, belief in your own value, and a bit of subtle artistry. If you can improv a body roll smoothly into a well executed West Coast Swing whip and give me a saucy smile as you stride closer for a tuck turn or a head roll with a hair fling, well my God that's one of the sexiest damn things ever... but standing out in the floor trying desperately to find new and unique ways to hump the air... well... my lizard brain is interested for a little while, it takes very little time for me to start questioning why you're spending so much time doing something that must be so boring.

It froze me in my tracks because of how subversive the notion is. It twists the meaning of these words and the actions of those it involves to somehow make bossiness seem like it is an admirable trait, and that's fine because "it's admirable among men". It's the "it's okay because they do it" idea, and it disgusted me to my core when I considered the number of young girls who will learn it's okay to bully others into submission, under the false assumption that that is somehow "good leadership". Needless to say I was called a sexist, misogynist pig. It was so nice to have a friend of 28 years, openly and publicly label me as something I'm not, and then proceed to dogpile me in her comments with disconnected arguments, along with their feminist friends who agree with her, thereby proving my point beyond any shadow of a doubt.

It's too much and I don't need to hear a song about it 5 times a day on the radio. Especially because this thing they claim to be sex is in no way a realistic and healthy depiction of it. It's basicly abusing the woman and degrading her so... That's my two cents on that.

What's aggravating is that female leads would be great if their personalities weren't just FEMALE. That's not a personality. Empowerment is allowing women to dictate their own choices, but in the media, we see a lot of "role models" who are just rude, unkind, or just a bad role model for kids, particularly for young girls. Not to mention, most of these films or books that do this often play men as the "dumb" character, which is horribly counterproductive. I'd just like to these something where men and women are written equally, and have flaws as well as merits, ya know?

Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, both from 1997 and 2004 until 2006 and 2009, sound like what you're looking for. Or literally any Star Trek made before Star Trek Discovery and Star Trek Picard came out. Babylon 5, from 1993-1998, would also probably work. There's also Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, Farscape, BattleStar Galactica 1978, Pacific Rim, and pretty much any show or movie from prior around 2015 except Pacific Rim The Black, Grimm, Teen Wolf, and most Transformers except the Bayverse. But I get your point, most "modern" stuff just isn't good at all. Whatever happened to the good old days? They literally introduce Samantha Carter, one of the strongest and smartest women on TV that I can think of, with something along the lines of "Sir, just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean I'm any less capable then you are." and the guy just immediately accepts her as part of his team and most of the time she saves everyone's ass with some crazy plan like throwing a bomb into a wormhole connected to a black hole or blowing up a sun. Or Babylon 5 with Delenn telling a hostile fleet "If you value your lives, be somewhere else." and they just turn around fast as they can with their tails between their legs. Whatever happened to women like that? If I ever have kids there is no way I'm going to be letting them watch most of the stuff from "modern" shows. And yes, I'm a straight white male.

Years ago my then girlfriend and I had an argument when I put forward the idea that women dress to impress other women rather than men. She got quite heated denying this and was convinced that women dress to impress men because men expect them to look their best. Fast forward two days and we were going to my parents house (both in their late 50's) for dinner. My GF was dressed in comfortable jeans with one of my sweaters on, just dressed comfortably. On the way there she found out that my sister (early 30's) would be there. My GF immediately panicked and asked to go back to her house to get changed into other clothes. I couldn't help laughing as I reminded her of our argument just two days before. She wasn't concerned about her appearance with my parents, but with my sister there her appearance became vitally important. BTW, the dinner went fine. Jeans, sweater and all :)

I’ve had this same argument with past girlfriends as well, and I believe it’s 100% true. Feminists like to constantly rail again men for objectifying women and forcing them to look and dress a certain way, but in my experience it has always been women themselves who apply this pressure. It’s women who are incredibly competitive with one another and weirdly obsessed with vanity and comparisons, it is women who spend hours scrolling through Insta timelines looking at other girls and critiquing their bodies and clothes, and it’s women themselves who will often even drag each other down and shame their peers to prop themselves up and feel good.

But why can't women be revealing and more than a sex object at the same time? I mean why is that if you dress like that you're just a body (basicly people think you're dumb, not worth anything kinda) but if you're covered than you're smarter, you "matter" more. I think that's a problem too. That if men see a little skin they automaticly think about sex. Why is that? Why are they feeding us the idea of skin/revealing clothes equals a woman who is easy. I once heard that the society you grown up in decides what makes you araused. People in other places don't view breasts as "sexy bodyparts" for example The media shoves the idea down our throats that if woman sexy->dumb, worthless, easy and If woman dress covered-> frigid, smart, ugly I'm not tryna start a fight or dunno, it's just my opinion. i'm not coming for anyone and i'm interested if you think otherwise, we can all share our opinions in a well mannered way If my english is not the best i'm working on it, it's not my first language

Men know this and as a result don't act like this yet for some reason when women do the equivalent they're surprised that people judge them.

Here’s how to tell the difference between female empowerment and sexualization: Empowerment is when women feel positive about themselves as people by dressing in clothes they like and acting in the way they wish (obviously with limitations; you can’t be a bad person). Sexualization is when a woman is made into an item of sexual pleasure simply to entertain or please other people, without consideration for the woman’s dignity and autonomy.

[@tinyapple6842]

Totally. How people present themselves physically vs how they treat others and themselves are TWO totally different ideas.

If women like wearing revealing clothing, they should be allowed to wear it. Maybe men should just mind their business and let them live their lives the way they want without feeling entitled to their bodies just because they're wearing a mini skirt and crop top. It's not the womans fault for being sexualized. And even if they do want to have their sexuality acknowledged, does that make them unworthy of respect? Women are allowed to be sexy and also a multifaceted human being.
