I read somewhere that many bridal models are around 13-14 years old.

Pedo culture!

Oh god this is awful :/ I wonder what their parents think about this

I’m so tired of the male gaze.

[–]salthoney168 points 5 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link

The male gaze in action. Can you imagine men posing like this to sell clothes? This isn‘t even a fashion model pose, it‘s just plain sexual.

[–]fdssavedmylifeFDS Newbie 64 points65 points66 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

It looks really goofy when you pretend male gaze isn’t a thing. It’s almost like an optical illusion where I can only see it clearly for a few seconds and then it disappears.

[–][deleted] 75 points76 points77 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

This is why I love shopping at aerie. Sports bras are world class and they don't touch up their models

[–]FkthekiritFDS Newbie 68 points69 points70 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I’ve stopped buying from stores that do this. I try to choose stores that show women as people in their images and not sex trophies.

Also in the supermarket if I notice sexualized images of women in magazines, I turn them backwards, and place men’s magazines in front of them that show most skin for men 🤪

Aritzia is the worst for this!

[–]spinsterchachkiesFDS Disciple 115 points116 points117 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Omg I’m glad someone said this. I feel skeeved out shopping for clothes online. The models are always too young and too thin and made to pose in nasty suggestive ways. Why can’t they just look like normal happy women wearing clothes?

[–]SansaDeservedBetterFDS Disciple 133 points134 points135 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I don’t trust any male photographers. They’re all horny voyeurs who want to take naked pictures of you for their “art” that will go nowhere.

There’s a brain dead coomer in every profession.

I hate some of the Shein posing. It's so porn-y. But I guess you get what you pay for at Shein. Sigh...

Have you seen the Kim Kardashian Skims Valentines day shoot? Looks like a straight up porno

ugh yes

[–]FeminineprincessFDS Newbie 25 points26 points27 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

The only online store that I know doesn’t show their models in a hypersexualized light is H&M. The models have normal bodies, and little to no makeup on. Whereas Fashionnova, oh god, from the false beauty standards of plastic surgery to the sexualized poses, I avoid that site like a plague, plus their clothes aren’t of good quality anyway. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Ny post says they used sweatshops. Also they got in trouble with the FTC.

[–]bffwithyourcrazyexgf 26 points27 points28 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

This just keeps getting worse and worse. It's like everywhere you look there's an image of a woman being sexually objectified, it's littered in advertisements both online and in real life. You can't even walk down the street minding your own business without this being shoved down your throat, and reminding you exactly how much society values you. What a world we live in.

[–]MilaedyFDS Newbie 22 points23 points24 points 5 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link

God I can’t stand this shit, Facebook is the worst for it. Just scrolling and get ass in my face. Everybody loves ass, but I’m so tired of women as props

[–]ms_monquisFDS Disciple 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I think "everybody loves ass" is a justification you don't need to make. I don't love ass.

If you love ass, that's cool, but if you don't, there's no reason why you shouldn't say so. You know what I'm saying? I spent a lot of time trying to "soften" everything I say, make sure I don't come across too strident or (gods forbid!) prudish. Fuck it.

[–]MilaedyFDS Newbie 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

You’re right.

I’m so used to softening my points to make them more palatable. It’s alien to have a space where I actually don’t have to.

Thank you <3

[–]shelballamaFDS Newbie 20 points21 points22 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

Yes because "how will my ass look from a perv's POV" is a huge "must have" for me on my checklist of clothes I want to buy

Wasn't the CEO in the news for sexual harassment or something like that? And then the company went under due to all the bad publicity?

This is literally the whole of ASOS. Really off putting

Yes! I was trying to look at their dresses and just gave up on that site

I don't mean to be controversial but I feel like this is what sells to young girls nowadays (which is the real shame here), I think the company is just supplying to the demand. I'm 22 and shops that use this type of modelling are really popular amongst my age range because the girls want to be sexy and revealing, and they want to look like the models.

I think its a supply and demand problem - we should really teach women they dont have to sexualise themselves to be loved and then there would undoubtedly be less sexualised clothing and models. But the photographers/ designers themselves are just responding to what the client (eg the female public) is asking for.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points14 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree. I think changing our own minds about the source of our value and worth will be the longest-lasting solution. 💯

[–]hethrezenFDS Newbie 21 points22 points23 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

but who have created the image of successful sexay model in the first place tho? the very same fashion corporations did. they didnt permit any other type of woman to succeed and thats why girls want to look in that specific objectifying way. your argument would be plausible only if there were more variants to choose from (different equally successful role models) and young girls would massively choose this one. but this is not the case here, ok? girls have absolutely nothing to choose from 😕😕😕

[–]caligulawillblush 4 points5 points6 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

Women have the large majority of the spending power, what we buy is what companies make more of. Sex sells whether we like it or not. I understand what point you are trying to make, but you can’t deny that a lot of women are choosing this hypersexualised model of a woman to base their life off. We can’t blame the fashion industry- it is a problem with how women are brought up in society and what they feel their place is. I mean all of this respectfully. That is why so many of us here would never buy clothes from this company - because we know we have the choice not to and decide it is not reflective of who we are as women.

[–]hethrezenFDS Newbie 13 points14 points15 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

what? fashion industry is one of the most powerful institutions in our society. they have the power to influence people opinions and, as you say, bring up women in a specific way they wish. choices are not made in a vacuum, these corporations create an environment in which most women would choose the hypersexualised model they promote (female sexualisation is very useful for patriarchy, thats why they advertise it). like they were among the ones who raised little girls and formed their wishes in the first place. and while i agree that we can resist their brainwashing (and we obv should) and that the female choice to support patriarchy is one of it biggest fuels, i disagree with your notion that we can't blame the fashion industry - it cant merely "reflect" our desires, because it forms those desires in the first place. this is how patriarchy works - raises women in a way that makes them support the current misogynistic order "willingly" (by eliminating any alternatives) 🤷‍♀️

[–]CarpedictumFDS Newbie 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link

I mean, this is the old Milton Friedman “The business of business, is business.” which essentially regards companies as feral eating machine animals. Just- whatever you need to do to make money.

We’re kind of past that now. With social media we have the power of micro boycotts and shaming bad companies. As a society, we’ve moved toward expecting better and it isn’t ok to fall back on “But...money?”

So- you’re not wrong, but it’s fully possible to be more right.

[–]caligulawillblush 3 points4 points5 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I don’t disagree. But the social attitudes toward women and how most women feel about themselves and their sexuality right now is not geared towards micro-boycotting these companies or else they would be doing that already, as they do for all the companies that offend their moral codes in other ways. This starts with how women are socialised and treated. It’s not going away. I really can’t blame the fashion industry. Fashion is not an island, it’s a response (to the cultural, economic, and political landscape) I’m not saying I’m 100% correct, but while women want to be sex objects then there will be a market for this. You don’t boycott things you agree with. So it starts with social change.

[–]Elisabeth-B 5 points6 points7 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

I agree. It's disgusting and discouraging.

Which do you all think happened first, the ass-out prevalence of Instagram, or the ass-out prevalence everywhere else?

Even the eyeglasses ads on FB are making me uncomfortable lately.

they should've posted a different shot, mainly talking about the second picture
