What up with that? I know we talked about the whole "sex sells" thing in class, but I guess I'm one of those crazy conservative people who's offended by advertisements and things that have to resort to this.
But really, lol. Think about how ridiculous the media would look if men were portrayed in the same way as women. Lol. And what if women were represented how men currently are? :o
Know what I hate? I was thinking about this when I saw this picture. I hate that when people talk about using sex appeal in the media, it's always the image of a woman. I hate that women are seen as primarily sexual objects, or as sexual in every context. I think that at BYU we fall heavily into the trap of always seeing women as sexual. That's why people freak out about skirts above the knees, shoulders, and cleavage. But our bodies aren't inherently or totally sexual- they're just our bodies.
