Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is classic sex negativity through the Madonna-Whore Complex where women are either "pure" virgin mothers or dirty whores. This is an old problem that still lingers. I remember my formative years in the Britney Spear, Man show raunchy period. I did enjoy portions of it at the time as a straight young man but even then I felt exploitative and forced. In hindsight it was really messed up for both men and women and especially women,
The right can't claim any credit for the current more sex and body positive post #metoo world. People should be allowed to be both objectified if they want to be or not if they don't want to be. This is true for everyone and can change day to day. The current climate is showing both a kinder objectification of women when they choose to be as well as objectification of men. As a men is actually refreshing and satisfying to see men treated like objects in media. Its good to see a balance in both sexes. That was never part of the rights agenda where men are only held as success objects.
We want a future where both men and women can be valued for their mind, body and souls. We want sexy outfits in videogames for men and women (and everything in between). We want men and women CEOs, scientists and leaders who are valued for their mind. This is not the future the right wants and a sexy women isn't the antithesis of this. Sydney Sweeney and Margot Robbie being attractive and great actresses is part of this future. The same way that Chris Pine and Idris Elba can be sex symbols and great actors even in the same film. Ignore the rights stealing of something that had no hand in. Reject sex negativity
Well said. I think it all comes down to having basic respect for people’s choices. We’re sexual animals, but we all have the right to express our sexuality as little or as much as we want.
I love this. Just because someone welcomes objectification one day, doesn’t imply they want it the next day.
Exactly. It depends on the context of the situation.
I think one of the great things about Pride events and parades now is the celebration of human sexuality by everyone at it. Everyone is looking their best and celebrating that. Whether they are queer or not.
Man Show eh? Don't look up the Guy Game it's literally illegal
Yeah. There are tons of gross examples out there.
