Open question to the Internet: Why is it apparently mysogynistic of men to get excited about the Olympics women’s beach volleyball because there’s pretty ladies jumping about in tight sport bikinis, when half of the female…
Also, or maybe more in example, while there has been plenty of “fuck, look at this, OMG,” type stuff going around not once have I seen something along the lines of “look at that bastard. I could ride that bastard. He’d be so damn hard for my cunt. I’d make him mine; he’d take it, and like it. I mean look at that speedo, he’s just asking for it.”
There have also been things going around where yes their bodies were on display, but that actually wasn’t what everybody was squeeling about - like the post of the UK team on the beach dancing. We aren’t just looking at their bodies, which means that they aren’t being turned into soulless sex toys (but are instead soulful eye candy), which means not objectifying them as they have not taken on the aspects of an object (and if you don’t get this I can give a little lessons on the meanings here, and the personification of objects, and how all of this can inform us on what being objectified says and implies through contrast, but I’m trying not to ramble off on tangents here).
Oh, and if we aren’t liking what we are seeing there are no posts asking why he’s even here, or who let in the ugly brigade. Which is something women geta lotwhen their pictures go up on the internet (whether it be for something like this, or something more mundane). And even the ones who meet whatever ridiculous standards of beauty the reviewers have often then get called a skank, or something similar, for the very things that will stop others from making disparaging remarks about their looks.
