I was listening to actor commentary on Burn notice, which has quite a few male tops off scenes and one of the exclamations of hers was 'look at the boobs on them!' (refering to pectorals, I guess)<br /><br />Frankly though the way women seem to be treated in much of the porn industry, especially the cheaper stuff, seems more controversial than hollywood. Do we need to pick on hollywood, so we can just ensure we sanitise the only thing we see but not actually clear up the real problem areas?<br />Callan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15373053356095440571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-75729816029057891952015-01-27T17:02:00.857-05:002015-01-27T17:02:00.857-05:00Maybe female nudity is more common in Hollywood mo...Maybe female nudity is more common in Hollywood movies than male nudity because women aren't as interested in seeing naked men as vice versa. Or it could be that women don't need porn because any woman who wants a male sexual partner can find one without too much trouble. He may not be the perfect man from the bodice ripper novels, but as a visit to a few porn sites makes clear, just about any woman inspires lust in some men. Unfortunately, some men don't inspire lust in any woman.<br /><br />Callan and I talked a while ago on TPB about the possibility of alternatives to capitalism. One of the things I learned from Rants is any sufficiently large group of people will have some megalomaniacs, a few outsiders and a mass of 'undecideds' in the middle. If society is a struggle between the megalomaniacs and the outsiders for the loyalty of the undecideds one can expect the megalomaniacs to win. If they don't create something like capitalism they will create something else as least as exploitative and unjust. Historically, men have been better than women at megalomaniacal self-aggrandizement, so the sexual mores of any society are likely to be patriarchal and therefore exploitative toward women.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16294031118801500497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-73004437459168318782015-01-20T03:06:39.766-05:002015-01-20T03:06:39.766-05:00Because money?

Sure, women manipulate men all the time, and indeed men aren't in charge of their lusts and sexual instincts. But women are the ones who are humiliated by the strength of male lusts. Women lust after men too, but they confine their fantasies to romance novels, whereas male fantasies are visible everyone else in popular culture. For example, why is it that female nudity is much more common in Hollywood movies than male nudity?Benjamin Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661999592897690031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320802302155582419.post-37319677958888095372015-01-16T19:22:43.641-05:002015-01-16T19:22:43.641-05:00Is Heather a 'All sex is rape' advocate as...Is Heather a 'All sex is rape' advocate as well? She's ascribing the usual mind control powers to men.<br /><br />Just looks like the usual capitalistic elephant in the room ignored for traditional and familiar old evils of male urges.<br /><br />You have a system that declared all the lands its own, centuries ago, and will use martial force if you go against that. So no one can live unless they adhere to the system and pay for land in its coin - and the system is capitalism.<br /><br />But no, what's driving it all is male urges! Sure!<br /><br />You don't get that the male in this case is about as in charge of it as a donkey pursuing a carrot on a stick is in charge.<br /><br />The billboards are an enaction of the enslavement of men as well.
