I am a feminist too. So where's the hypocrisy?
that makes no sense with what i say. another of the continually used arguments to dismiss what is actually being said. you are a femnist. yea for you. so?
Why aren't they both accomplished? Being a model isn't accomplished? It doesn't matter?
this is not about the girls. it is about patriarchy, entitlement, privilege. it is about raising our girls to see themselves as only a service to men. it is about our media and culture that continually reinforce this behavior, that women are merely worthy as fucks.
How can you call the fact that I don't have a problem with the pictures on SI hypocrisy, when many of the comments about those pictures/those girls amount to shaming them for something that you don't approve of. Is that not the height of hypocrisy?
these girls made the decision to pose in this manner knowing just what they were being USED for. you do not get to say that because someone actually says it out loud, that makes it bad. it is good to use them in this manner, we can just not say it out loud. they made their choice. we are not talking about them. we are talking about the manner they are used. you do not like it, though you are ok with them being used in that manner.
If a guy called them 'fuckable' or presented as 'fuck' the fucking internet would explode--rightfully so. If it's wrong for them to say it then it's wrong for women to say it. Worse in my opinion.
oh fuckin bullshit. really? now i am just lmfao. bah hahha. really? kinda like all the guys could have a thread laughing about milf and all their raunchy jokes and giggles. but, because i said... mothers you would like to fuck, that was WAY too harsh. it was hidden. play with it... but do not use the words cause they offend.

she'll do.
she'll do? she will do what? she will do for a fuck? what do you think this man was saying about this naked woman, right her on du? do tell me the toned down version of interpretation with .... she will do. she will do ... what?
hit it. do it. tell me how heads would explode. i really do not know how people argue this, what they tell themselves. i am really kinda pondering this.
