Why is there a naked man on DU's greatest page?

[IronLionZion]

And why is no one offended? Remember the outrage when there were fully clothed but busty women on there? For the sake of equality, I demand to see beautiful naked women on there immediately! Kumbaya!

1. Unrealistic beauty standards! Oh noes!

Yep, if that were a woman certain DUers would defecate masonry and start sniveling about how it was going to give them all eating disorders or some shit.

[smalll]

32. As a man, seeing that ad, I may not get an eating disorder, but I'll tell you,

I feel extra pressure to start doing lunges at the gym. What an ass! How are we expected to live up to that?!?!?

2. what image was that? here the male nudity however is representing strength

was was the other image representing?

[PVnRT]

13. BEWBS (n/t)

[IronLionZion]

16. That's a very good question lp.

I don't remember what specifically but it had nothing to do with sex or anything bad. I wish I had saved that ad for comparison. It had a woman with a plunging neckline that showed her ample cleavage. Anger and outrage from some women on this board about "exploiting women to sell stuff".

But when a man is fully naked to represent strength, no one cares. That's fine of course. I love the human body. I just don't like the double standard.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. assuming there is ofcourse a double standard. gratuitious display of boobs for marketing

to me is very different from using the male body to represent strength.

[IronLionZion]

23. I'm not sure what cleavage could be used to represent.

so yeah, the cleavage was gratuitous. I'm still a big supporter of nudity though. :evilgrin:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

25. yes but i think you are interjecting a double standard when there is none.

no one object to nudity as much as what the nudity really represents.

i object to women used for decorative purposes.

[IronLionZion]

27. I am a man after all.

point taken, but I like women's bodies for most purposes, even gratuitous decorative ones The interesting thing is that I didn't look at the cleavage ad until the outrage threads appeared. She looked nice. Similarly, most of the posters on this thread didn't see the naked man until I posted this. He looks like a fit guy.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

28. i am sensitive when people say double standards because it excuses the actual sexism

that exists in the world and in the media, when it comes to the treatment/display and control over women's bodies.

:hi:

[redqueen]

18. I love the way you think.

:loveya:

[BarenakedLady]

3. mmmmmm naked man...

:9

[LynneSin]

4. I really hate to get into the Lee Mercer crap but um, it does

look a bit like Lee MErcer

[Tektonik]

5. All black people look the same?

Freeper :eyes:





you are actually right, it freakily does look sort of like him

[Sock Puppet]

29. I totally don't see it.

Mercer is doughy. This guy is cut.
The only similarity is the color of their skin and their lack of hair, from what I can see.

=?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. me either. the guy in the picture is beautiful. mercer is just another guy

[asthmaticeog]

31. So, what, you don't see a lot of black folks in Delaware?

Apart from having shaved heads and dark complexions, the two men do not look alike.

6. It's a checklist item on the Gay Agenda n/t

7. Why is there a naked man on DU's greatest page?

[Pierre.Suave]

8. LOL

What a good idea...

Hey, check the MN forum regarding spyhouse meet up!

[Fire Walk With Me]

9. Lee Mercer is everywhere.

[IronLionZion]

10. This inexplicably posted twice, on separate times.

And I assure you, I don't have the first thread on "My DU". Curiouser and curiouser. I promise, I do NOT have an obsession with naked men, I only meant to post this once. Sorry.

[DarkTirade]

11. My only question is...

why aren't there naked men on that page more often?

[LSK]

12. just google anything without the filter on

And you are bound to see a naked woman.

:D

[DarkTirade]

14. My brother tried to help his daughter find pictures of asian carp for a biology report a while back.

Sure enough... do google search of asian carp, get naked asian chicks everywhere.

15. Thanks for the naked man, whoever put it there. In the interest of fairness...

Since women's bodies have been disproportionately exploited in the media for so long, I propose a naked-man-only policy for the next 10 years ;)

[tjwmason]

17. Sounds fair to me, nt

[redqueen]

19. Bless you!

:rofl:

:yourock:

[Robb]

20. What if u do that & I ketch teh gay?

My wife'd be pissed. :rofl:

[IronLionZion]

22. So you want to keep women from working in certain professions?

:rofl:

[Chovexani]

26. That sounds like Chovexani Equality

I've long argued that since lifting women up seems to not be working, we need to just throw men in the gutter too.

Put everyone on the menu. :P

[nadine_mn]

24. the question is...why aren't there more naked men on the DU greatest page

eye-candy....next week we can have women

its a nice change from LOLcats

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Incentive?

:shrug:
