Thought for the day:

Isn't it odd, that when you open a mens magazine, there are pictures of naked women. And when you open a women's magazine, there are pictures of naked woment. Where are all the half naked guys (Playgirl is not a fair answer)?

such a good question! what the hell is up with that??? why is society ashamed of men's bodies (or, is society ashamed of men's bodies???)...what do i mean by this...ah, shit, i was hoping i wouldn't have to explain myself...well, i mean, it seems like we have such a mixed message...on the one hand, we are all very much aware that we are living in a patriarchal society...blah, blah, blah...and yet...for how long have women ruled all that is considered sexy....and therefore, powerful through sexuality and the subtle use of it...so, since we are all ruled more or less by biology...and our biology necesitates our need of sex...then whoever is in control of the sex has a certain amount of power right? so then, what is up with the weird imbalance of women (although, admittedly this can be challenged in numerous ways...and i think that men are beginning to be equally shown off in a similar way these days) being the bearers of the sex'goddess shrine...and men being the bearers of just about everything else...??? by the way, i'm only referring to media representation...not actual dymamics of the sexes...

perhaps men are more insecure collectively...i mean, why the hell does straight porn just about always have the ugliest guy you have ever seen doing it with this long finger nailed babe??? my vote is that most straight men don't want to feel threatened by some hot stud who can obviously get laid anytime he wants...while the viewer is left with nothing but his 6 pack of pabst, porn vider, and beer gut to keep him company... although, i really don't believe that men are more insecure...perhaps just in a different way??

in other words...i have no idea...i just wanted to respond anyway wink

I think it is about insecurity... and competition. There's this whole messed up idea in this country that women should view other women as competition for the affections of men. So women can look at other women and aspire to look like them, and men can gaze at bodies they'll never touch. I once had a younger guy ask me if he was gay cause he thought this chick was hot, and later found out that it was a guy. No one looks at women funny when they say another woman is beautiful, but it doesn't go the other way... ug.
