Is it not a fact some women help the idea of seeing women as objects of sex?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) September 17th, 2014

With all the latest Fluther scuttlebutt about how women are degraded or objectified sexually, is it any mystery imagination why this is? Sex is used to sell so much in the US. From early in life if one views media and ads women are presented as sexy and alluring. To do this, a number of women have to buy into the program and help out the advertisers. For instance, this ad where what significance is there to having the woman nude, is what she is selling geared towards women? This other ad, take the boot away it might be an art nude or a simple pin up. Or this Janet Jones Versace handbag ad, is there a reason she has no clothes on? In short, are these women not contributing to the idea that women are sexy, sex objects, or women’s bodies should be seen as sexual things? How can other women change the culture when members of their ranks are furthering the idea of women as objects of sex? With women willing to be naked in ads and in adult content on the Net, how can anyone expect the perception or outlook to change any time soon?
