i have discussed how women cannot gain ownership of our sexuality by throwing it out there, challenging, and saying this is mine. from what i see as a society, it is merely feeding it in our society and the misogynist men are getting what they want and need. it is like boobquake. making a statement about a pres saying that all that is evil is a womans cleavage. so what do women in u.s. do? all 6 young women? they have a press conference of forty men, surrounding as they lift up their top and flash them. yea. all the news jumping up and down.... boobies, boobies. all it did was reduce these young women to boobies. not as people. and not with a message to be heard.
slut walk. you know how much the men love them some slut walks. getting to say, slut slut slut, over and over. yet we think we are giving a message, accomplishing a damn thing, as the men get to giggle like little kids saying slut, and not getting at all what is being said or care what women are saying, because the word slut is not the issue.
an almost four minute video of young women jumping around topless to tell men in two sentences to check their boobies. not a single thought about male breast cancer, nor an interest cause really it is about putting it into a mans forum to say, boobies.... see see, and we got away with it to piss off women here on du, cause it is about mens health. used as a tool, as so often used, using a video of naked women, to put other women in their place.
women constantly throwing out vagina to have ownership of our body, not something to hide.... yet, with the porn, when is the womans body really hid. the constant verbal nakedness in societies mind of the naked woman. we think we are owning, and all we are doing is feeding into the forever dissecting of the womans body. relentlessly.
danish and swedish have now put out middletons pictures. saying it is ok, cause they are sweet pictures showing a loving relationship, not vulgar. as if that is the point. regardless of what a woman has to say about her nakedness being splashed in all the magazines.
pussy riot. all the play and fun the misogynist had without being called out.
hbo's effort to cross the line of full frontal nudity. and adding as much gratuitous frontal nudity to their series saying that they want it to be the norm. nothing wrong with nudity. buck up you puritans. but... the only gratuitous frontal nudity is a parade of women. never the man. or so little. a quick flash. if it was merely to desensitize us to nakedness, then men would equally be flashing their penis at every turn. it is not. it is not shown, or very fast, very little. it is about, a womans role.
protest where women want to be heard, so to be heard they take off the top. lots of attention. saying, we are heard. no, we are not heard, we are reduced to merely our sexuality and the message is lost.
to be seen as a person, and be heard as a person, we have to get away from placing ourselves in the role as the "sexual" being, exclusively. you know, using our brain, and speaking out. endlessly. but all this yelling vagina, is not gonna do it for us. it only keeps us in the place of the sex person, for the men that want to keep us there.
this is just something else i see in our culture that is growing leaps and bounds and was thinking about it. thoughts. no more. i do not know the right or wrong in it. i am only exploring this. but have been feeling this for a while.
