The women on those covers made the decision to do that. People need to stop acting like they don't have a mind of their own.

Gender equality = We all watch porn, have opinions, can pose semi-naked on magazines, and screw who we like. 3gen Western Feminism = Angry!

Joke was funny though. I concur. Also treat people equally and nicely.

feminism is about hating whatever makes men happy.

Everything. Makes. Sense now.
GotYaKun
But why would she even be appalled as a feminist? Aren't they supposed to be empowered through a woman's choice to do what they please?
DerWolf1309
Depends on the particular version of feminism they subscribe to.
GotYaKun
I like to assume the kind that rationalises pride and choice in anything a woman chooses to do with herself, but I get your point.
NobleSavant
The problem here isn't women making choices. It's that these pictures stereotype that sort of body image. They're fake pics and hurt people.
cogs
It was a setup line for a joke, not a sociopolitical statement.
GotYaKun
Given the current state of the world it was hard to tell that it wasn't for both. Tons of famous people try to mix sociopolitical bits 1/2

Only if it's what the mainstream feminists approve of. Example: a stay at home mom (with a masters degree in education no less) is bad.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Um, no? Feminism is completely fine with that.
michaelmp
Because she wAnts to, And has the ability to stay home.
NotACanadian
If she wants to be a stay at home mom why did she go out for a MA in education?
michaelmp
Had the education before children. Stayed home until child was in school all day. The point is choice.

If men are allowed to do porn why wouldn't women too?
Shadehawk
women make WAY more money doing porn than men do, most straight male pornstars do gay porn just because it pays better.
JanaJustinsdottir
Men consume porn and want to pay for women, not men. It's a case of men not wanting to pay men
AlexSkullUterna
Isn't that good thing? Why do feminists hate it? They aren't like forced to do it.

Feminism is whatever the feminist currently posting needs it to be in order for it to be impossible to criticize.

Feminism is whatever the man laughing at it say it is.

"feminism is only what i like and not what i dont like!"

It's the same process Christians use to defend their religion. We define this thing as the good stuff, so if it's not good, it's not of us.

Why would a feminist be appalled by a woman making lots of money and being successful by modelling? Her choice, right?

Because they are doing it the Wrong Way. Really, I'd think they'd be happy about women helping to fleece lonely loser males for millions too

As a straight woman, I enjoy seeing beautiful ladies on covers of magazines. They are lovely lookin, and I'm sure they're lovely people too.

kogamikirito
The thing is that not many people actually buy into that false perception of beauty. Your acting like the people 1/2
ReidingRainbow
Notice she says appalled by the images, not the models or their choices. The cultural narrative told by the images is arguably problematic.
RosegoldEverything
..the cultural narrative that pretty girls with nice bodies are nice to look at? That's nothing to be appalled by. That's just reality.
StopstalkingmePawan
Photoshop is really pretty.
RosegoldEverything
It is. It enhances what's good and hides what isn't.
ReidingRainbow
The bodies in these pictures are often shopped, leading to unrealistic expectations of beauty and unrealistic body standards for women.
Althekingsmen1
This actually can be conceived as negative for men too since it leads to developing unrealistic expectations.
ingelri
The bodies on there aren't unrealistic at all. They're just thin. Thin women are more attractive than fat ones.
ingelri
What a world we live in when saying "thin women are more attractive than fat women" is viewed to be unpopular. How did this delusion spread?
GrilledMelonMan
Subjective opinion, my dude.
Althekingsmen1
This actually can be conceived as negative for men too since it leads to developing unrealistic expectations. (and I'm speaking as a guy)
RosegoldEverything
Of course they're 'shopped; average isn't special. Anyone with a brain knows they're not 100% real.
NobleSavant
12 year old girls really don't know that. They think that's how they need to look at minimum and develop eating disorders.
ReidingRainbow
It's not really about conscious thought. Not even talking about the impact it can have on young girls, when most images and stories we 1/

for men. That's why I find movies like Mad Max: Fury Road or Rogue One to be so important and interesting in their depiction of women. 3/3
ReidingRainbow
are exposed to feature women in sexualized roles, it builds a narrative that the primary role of women in society is as a sexual object 2/
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
SOME feminists would take issue with the perceived reduction of women to mere sexual objects, even if the women in question participate.
skribs
It's sort of a catch 22, girls should be allowed to flaunt it if they want to, but nobody else should make money off of it.
Althekingsmen1
Communists would agree, only apply it to everything and everyone.
skribs
To clarify, that's not my position on the issue, that's my understanding of the collective feminist arguments on the subject.
yesiamaphysicist
Why not? Is the model taking the pictures, writing the content, editing and publishing the magazine?
skribs
Sorry, not my opinion, just paraphrasing my understanding of the feminist opinion. The idea is someone else shouldn't make money off of her
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
That isn't the "feminist opinion".
skribs
Looks
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
No, it's more the issue that people feel that women need to do such things or that their value is mainly in their looks/sexuality.
ingelri
Evolutionarily, women's looks and sexuality has *enormous* value. It's not hard to see where such a disposition comes from.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Of course, so do men's.
shedooooooooo
Yes but it's all about choice. Women posing for others vs women just walking down the street being given unwanted ratings on tits and ass.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Sure, but it isn't just about choice. It is also about social pressures and the systems that influence ones choices.
shedooooooooo
What makes someone who they are or why they made a decision is irrelevant unless it's slavery. Regardless of circumstance, it's their choice
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
It is relevant what makes someone who they are and why they make decisions. That's what the field of sociology (and ecology) is about.
Solivoid
Twas a silly joke to begin with, seeing as it has 0% to do with feminism. There's nothing unequal about it, as guys do the same.
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
There's significant discrepancy in regards to both proportion and the social imaginary.
Solivoid
Again, the same can be said about depiction of males. So in terms of "granting female equal rights", it has very little to do with this case
DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
Not honestly or accurately, it can't. Who's talking about "granting female equal rights"?
Gorgrim
It's often the one-sidedness of things like this. Where are the hunks on the cover, instead of just women?

This is it. It's that not only are women judged so much on their looks, but that women are also treated like objects by society. If that /1

Men are judged just as much on their looks as women are.

Oh really? Is that why, for example, women have to be attractive to be a singer or actor but men don't? But hey, if you need proof:
joeyjojosharknado
They showed women here, but there are plenty of 'eye candy' male models on magazine covers and they could easily have shown these.

You can't just make hyperbolic and blanket claim that "women are treated like objects" without backing it up. Your presupposition is shaky.

DudePlayinADudeDisguisedAsAnotherDude
The issue is that people feel that women more than men need to do such things or that women's value is mainly in their looks/sexuality.
ResplendentCassowary

WebDevJewelerReptileLover
It's the woman's choice to do this. No one is forced to. There are plenty of jobs that value what's in a woman's head. Modeling isn't 1.
WebDevJewelerReptileLover
You're the exact thing that's wrong with feminism.
