In a Fog

Yay! More F words! But before we go there, you may want to read the previous post first... Or you can just clear your mind and watch this:

How many times have we glorified objectifying men and their bodies? And... think it is a compliment to men and it is perfectly fine to do so? I mean even a kids friendly movie like Avengers explicitly highlights a certain character's body part, and I think the buttock is quite an initimate part too.

In the second YouTube video, it gets even more filthy. The wife is literally joking about making her husband intoxicated so she could use his sperms to get pregnant. And this is after the husband saying he does not want to have more kids!!! You think that is bad? Oh... wait for the cherry on top... Everyone was laughing and high-fiving to that prospect!

Just imagine the tables being turned. Imagine the scene depicting Millie Bobby Brown or Megan Fox coming out of the shower with only a towel covering her private parts and some male character looks at her and becomes too mesmerised to speak. Imagine your husband talking about getting you drunk and taking away your ability to consent to sex and then impregnating you, and his male friends fist pumping to that brilliant idea. Oh, and he knows you do not wish to have more kids too. Or imagine Marvel deciding to praise Captain Marvel's (or Brie Larson's) ass and saying, "God damn, that ass looks freaking fine and that is the ass representing Marvel".

I can already see it in my mind... most people will get their panties in a bunch and be cancelling the respective companies and executives. Perhaps rightfully so because it is not cool to say or do certain things and think it is normal or funny. The only thing I am concerned is how radical a certain movement has become because we need to be measured and fair (as mentioned in my previous post). The level of antipathy towards men just seems a little out of control. Any woman that says anything about men (especially if it emasculates him) is usually applauded or at the very least, not given any attention. BUT any man that does anything seemingly against a woman, for example, divorcing her, is a campaign against sisterhood and we need to go to war against this bastard.

It does not need mentioning but I thought I would just put it out there - putting one group or gender down does not make it better for the other. Just like how it does not make you any prettier if you criticise another for being ugly. All it does it just distract people from the crux of the problem, and why we are advocating for certain rights... Can we just all try to get along and respect each other? Treat each other fairly?
