Men don't get objectified? yeah, right.

As a bisexual dude, I enjoy commercials with sexy men and/or sexy women. Also, fuck elitist Feminists who think women should be barred from objectification in entertainment but not men. Also also, agreed, this commercial serves as proof that women are just as 'guilty' as men of lusting over the opposite sex. And by guilty, I mean it's fucking normal and not a crime or civil violation, and prudes/hypocrites should just lock themselves in an empty room if they can't handle sexuality.

Men get turned into menace objects all the time.

It is obviously different here. He is just mowing the grass for them.

Am I the only one completely unoffended by this sort of thing?

Sex sells. I don't particularly have a problem with people being sexy to sell things, and I don't have a problem with sex being treated as a commodity (not to say that it should).

This post makes me feel we need a handy one word code that means...

"This bullshit would never pass the gynocentric media gatekeepers if the genders were reversed"

I propose the term "GENDERBALLS"

The correct usage would be "I CALL GENDERBALLS"

If he doesn't feel objectified that's his right. Nobody is forcing him to do that commercial and he even said it's been a great opportunity for him.

I tried the same excuses for men that have a tendency to be dropped for female models.

men are objectified all the time. it's called being a 'success object'. women want men for their money and social status and will use sex to get it.

to be honest, he is attractive

From the sounds of it the wife does not care because he is a trophy husband to her and she can show him off. And here I thought only men did this with pretty girls. sarcasm

Yeah, it bothers me when people see me as a purely sexual object and the root of their arousal and desire.

Reality is men don't care if we are objectified. We understand the physiology behind it. Women, on the other hand however complain because they love (and can't resist) their national sports, nagging and gossip. Women just love to talk about things, and complain about, scrutinize, and so on said things. It's pretty obvious who the gossip mags are directed to so that should be a clue. They are natural criticizers (remember though, that's not necessarily a negative aspect, it's can be used for positive and negative.)

Bottom line: Men and women objectify each other, everyone just move on.

This commercial looks like a part of a television show/movie with Diet Coke segued into it.

Seems silly to me.

NateExMachina · 2013-01-31T03:07:50+00:00

Mohawk guy from NASA is a good example of objectification.

w0le · 2013-01-31T09:08:40+00:00

just as an initial starting point: I don't take any particular stance, just being devil's advocate. So yes, this man is being objectified, which is obviously sexist, but then, isn't the ad itself sexist towrads women, as it's for DIET coke, appealing to 'people that are most likely/should be/are usually on diets', eg women?

MRAMoment · 2013-01-31T15:29:48+00:00

I saw this going VERY differently:

Same intro, same music. The can rolls under the lawnmower and the "he's so sexy" look on the ladies faces become the reaction to "he's being maimed by flying shards of aluminum and exploding mower" with a cessation of music and an overlay of shredding metal and screaming.

I mean, really, why would you roll a liquid filled metal object towards someone using a dangerous machine filled with rapidly spinning blades?
