Because objectification is absolutely dandy if you do it to men.

GrimB0LD · 2013-12-21T11:41:57+00:00

And hypocrisy is absolutely dandy if you write for Jezebel.

YetAnotherCommenter · 2013-12-21T14:30:35+00:00

Ahhh yes, the hypocrisy of today's "feminism."

Graphic X-rated fanfiction with either 1) totally twisted and sick fetishes or 2) shockingly regressive by their own standards gender politics and/or 3) flatly illegal acts like rape and pedophilia? Totally okay. Hell, there have been academic seminars on Hermione/Snape fanfic.

This is totally okay because this stuff is (almost entirely) written by women. Many (but thankfully not all) of them nominal feminists at that.

But porn that men like? Evil. Wrong. Problematic. Rapey.

Song lyrics sung by men that aren't even porn? As above.

Ergo... "I'd like to see Herc Hansen rape his son without using lube" is totally less rapey than "Blurred Lines."

Again, this isn't surprising. Traditional gender norms treat male sexual satisfaction as a loss in female power, ergo Porn For Men or anything which can function as a substitute good for sex with women (or even things which allude to men getting sexual satisfaction) is seen as a threat because it gets men off, but Porn For Women is only criticized when it gets mainstream (i.e. 50 Shades).

Ahh good ol Jezebel.

I remember one of their articles, which still pisses me off even now, was on dating and expecting sex. Apparently, according to them, all men go on dates because they expect sex. Not 'most' men, but "all" men. And to put the cherry on top, they also classified a gentlemen on a date as someone who pays $200 or more, to be "average".

And I hope my next line doesn't hurt this thread but,

Jezebel are a bunch of fucking cunts.

StudliestMuffin5000 · 2013-12-21T18:39:47+00:00

The most irritating argument I hear is the "but men have been doing it for so long, we just want to give them a taste of their own medicine!"

KRosen333 · 2013-12-21T17:59:55+00:00

EXTRA EXTRA, JEZEBEL IS A FEMINIST RAG FULL OF HYPOCRISY, SKY MAY BE BLUE, MORE INSIDE!

DanDanDannn · 2013-12-21T15:38:38+00:00

PSA: Olympic athletes are sexy. Women and men. Their bodies are perfect in many ways. Especially curlers. I want those perfectly bred curler babies.

Getting worked up about attention put on either side is silly.

Brother_Farside · 2013-12-21T16:09:17+00:00

you would expect something different from Jezebel?

Dronelisk · 2013-12-21T11:16:06+00:00

objectification is not inherently a bad thing, I as a male would love nothing more than to be objectified, which would mean I had sexual power.

seductivestain · 2013-12-21T18:38:41+00:00

I really don't understand all this complaining about objectification. Some people love being objectified. Hell, it's even a fetish. And how am I supposed to not view someone at face value if I know nothing about them? If a pretty girl goes out in a tight, low cut dress and puts on her nice makeup, she wants to be objectified at least a little bit. I think a lot of this recent feminist hate on sexualizing women stems from ugly girls being jealous of pretty girls, unless they're actually hardcore christians/mormons/muslims.

Salient0ne · 2013-12-21T17:45:01+00:00

Oh i'm sorry, you thought feminists wanted equality?

redpilldude · 2013-12-21T19:26:30+00:00

Objectifaction = power + privilege, Shitlord! /s

MoFuckinBananas · 2013-12-21T17:04:56+00:00

I hate the hypocrisy.

I don't get this feminist hatred of people admiring the people they are attracted to. Who cares? Just don't judge people based on it. Simple as that.

I might think a girl is hot or not, but I won't treat her differently.

I hate how feminists fight for men to not view women sexually unless the women somehow consents to it, but women can do it to men it's okay and fine. I hate how people think there is a problem with this to begin with. The only problem is reducing men or women down to mere objects, obviously, but they are not fighting against that. They are fighting human sexuality.

5iveby5ive · 2013-12-21T18:48:27+00:00

A double standard in media? Say it ain't so.

gazork_chumble_spuzz · 2013-12-21T22:23:48+00:00

It's Jezebel. Let's not pretend they are the epitome of journalistic glory. They're pretty crappy. Hypocrisy is hardly an uncommon thing to encounter on that website!

scottsouth · 2013-12-22T00:08:38+00:00

I liked Feminism better when it was about equality.

YetAnotherCommenter · 2013-12-22T00:18:47+00:00

That's what's so funny about these feminists - women love to be objectified, and have a position of sexual power. The problem that women have with glorification of beautiful women is that the comely challenge their own homely sexual power filling the homely with old testament style jealousy - understanding this will help you understand why feminists are some of the ugliest women.

As OP's posts, and many others on the MRA reddit community have shown: feminists do not care about equality, equity, human rights, freedom or any other egalitarian belief other than using these ideologies to further their own gain - feminism is nothing more than a power tool; a passive aggressive curtain to hide their inward seething lust, jealousy, and self-hatred. And like the form, and function of a material curtain it doesn't stop rancid air from blowing through.

What op, and other posters should focus on is when feminists actually violate the rights of other women, and LGBT community which, of course, is a daily occurrence; nothing hurts a movement more than satirically taking their hypocritical bullshit and throwing it back at them; this is what makes people like john stewart successful, and powerful.

Weed_n_Wisdom · 2013-12-22T01:22:24+00:00

Yeah my friend agrees with this, thinking Blurred Lines objectifies women yet she constantly reads those smutty gay Glee fanfictions.

Can't we both enjoy objectifying the other sex in peace?

2013-12-21T23:34:20+00:00

Okay, but can't we hold NBC to higher standards than, y'know, teenagers writing porn? I don't think Jezebel would be offended if teenage boys were writing porn about female athletes. They're mad because it's a goddamn news website.

SmilerAl · 2013-12-21T17:52:27+00:00

Lets objectify both, it's funny reading the creepy shit women finger bang themselves over whilst getting to watch highlights of some nice asses in short shorts.

wwwhistler · 2013-12-21T22:26:53+00:00

did you not get the memo from NOW‽

EdgarFrogandSam · 2013-12-22T08:40:00+00:00

I like being objectified.

icantnotthink · 2013-12-22T19:19:06+00:00

Why don't we just objectify BOTH genders, equally?

sampson158 · 2013-12-21T11:15:34+00:00

Jezabell has always been feministically skewed towards left wing feminism. feminazi's if you listen to limbaugh, which they also hate.

2013-12-21T15:58:45+00:00

Dude, it's Jezebel!

funeralbater · 2013-12-22T04:45:05+00:00

Comparing two completely different news sources to make a straw argument.

2013-12-22T05:42:49+00:00

Objectification is ok either way, it's natural, healthy and human.

But of course you'll meet double standards on jezebel, just let them illegitimate themselves.

Marx0r · 2013-12-21T15:41:51+00:00

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Jezebel is a vapid, bullshit website that caters to women. Of course they're going to have a "let's look at sexy Olympic athletes" article. I'd expect AskMen.com to come out with a similar article.

NBC is a liberal news outlet. Of course they have a problem with sexualizing people that aren't trying to be sexual.

There's nothing wrong with that divide in views existing, different groups of people will always have different ideas of what is and isn't appropriate. Unless the same source is simultaneously supporting male sexualization and condemning female, (and I don't doubt that exists, it's just that this post doesn't show one) this isn't a men's rights issue. This is just two different news outlets having different standards and target audiences.

EDIT: Ignore me, apparently they're both Jezebel articles despite the NBC logo.

Le4chanFTW · 2013-12-21T20:27:06+00:00

Slow news day or something? Why are we digging around for year-old stories to bitch about? It received plenty of discussion last year when everything was happening, yet you go ahead and post it again now, but for what purpose?

geek180 · 2013-12-21T22:32:04+00:00

To play devil's advocate, one of these publications is a tabloid and the other is one of the largest and most well respected broadcasters. It's really apple and oranges.

YetAnotherCommenter · 2013-12-21T14:46:24+00:00

Dem vomen.

its_all_one_word · 2013-12-22T02:20:00+00:00

Yeah, feminists are dumb and can't tell the difference between what is caused by a social ill and what it caused by biology.

BaconBazooka · 2013-12-21T15:16:11+00:00

SO now erotic fanfiction is a valid "source" for objectificaiton??

You guys are really reaching.
