(25,592 posts)The women being "objectified" sure don't mind. How do I know? Because they get paid big money to get their picture taken. Modeling is a highly prestigious, high profile, well paid job. You can use your argument against any ad that has people in it. So, so what? Society at large sure is not down on the Sports Illustrated issue. It get sole everywhere. And not in a plastic wrapper either.
Instead of making a nuisance here on DU, why don't you go after the magazines, the photographers photographing them? The models themselves. They are the ones doing what you are objecting to. All the people on DU, that you are objecting to, are doing is talking about current events.
Posting here is nothing more than letting off steam and does nothing to change anyone mind or effect what you see as a problem.
