I have opinions and with the push of taking a Womens and Gender's Studies class I made a blog to post my thoughts.

Women and Commercials



*Even though this is a banned commercial, it can still make my point:
People use women in advertisements to get you to purchase something by using some sort of sexual attraction. Appealing to guys, of all ages, to use or buy the product by using women in bras and thongs or other underwear, bikini's, or some sort of skimpy outfit. I think this is because men will relate the product to the image they see. If they enjoy the image they "have" to enjoy the product. Its kind of like the alcohol commercials, the man drinking is surrounded by half naked women who all want to be around him. So subconsciously they believe if they drink that same drink they will get the same results.

Liberation bad for women?????



Ok, so what I really want to know is...
1. How are WOMEN different from MEN? Why can't MEN be different from WOMEN?
2. What is the difference of completely equal rights then rights of human beings?
3. And how do we have a different fate than men because they were born with a penis and we were born with a vagina?
This guy makes no sense or supports this statement. How can people really think that just because we are different "down there" that we don't all deserve the same rights and privileges. All this guy is doing is marginalizing women and pushing them aside so he can control and dominate.

Women as Objects

It makes me really happy to see that a guy is standing up for womens rights. And for a guy not only to say it is our choice on the internet, but for him to also say that people, guys mainly, need to quit calling women who abort names. I have the same view point as him. I don't necessarily like abortion, but what he said was true. We get to decide what comes or doesn't come out of our body.
I know this is a touchy topic but that makes it even more special that someone is speaking up and it being a GUY!
I feel like this is a huge step for women. We are finally getting a voice. I know that before I was born we had even less rights, but as I've grown up, especially with abortion rights, it wasn't always our choice, we had to "go with the flow" or stand up for ourselves, which most of us are to scared to do.
