What is it with women being exploited in derogotory manners on flyers?

Question

I just came across a flyer for a car show and their was a women half naked on it. It disgusted me and I threw it out.

I just feel like their are other ways of attracting people to these events, they don't have to use women in this way.

Women have babies and are goddesses and they should be cherished and honored not exploited on a flyer like some object, it's really sad.

We are not objects we are people!

Agree or disagree?

Answer 1

You should fly to hollywood meet with the people who run the film and p**n industry. Apparently nobody says anything to these people because money is god. Only when you dont have money are you a sexist or racist. That's how the world works. You'd proably date one of those guys who you kidding.  

Answer 2

The only women being exploited are the ones selling themselves to venues like these.

The only time people can be exploited are when they allow it.

I agree with you that women are people and not objects.

But until women start respecting themselves again and stop worshiping the almighty dollar more than themselves, we will have this problem.

Some women will also allow themselves to be disrespected just to have some short lived attention that really doesn't make them feel good about themselves at the end of the day.

As women we should hold our head high regarding how far we have come with equal rights regarding employment, business ownership, politics, sports etc.

We should also take a good look at how far back we have allowed ourselves to be pushed in regards to s*x objects and being used by men for their pleasure.

If we would take a good close look at this we would see that the:

s*x with benefits thing

Clothing that is not only uncomfortable but detrimental to our health

Hairstyles and make-up that take too much time out of our lives

Unmarried mothers with no child support

Demeaning jobs such as stripping or waitressing in skimpy clothes

Female entertainers who dress so provocatively

            (singers and actresses)

h**l, even some of our female athletes are almost naked

only benefit the male population.

Think about it ladies.

The men are sitting around in their comfortable clothes and shoes,

bad hairstyles, unshaved half the time, eating whatever they want (because they aren't worried about having a few extra pounds)

yet they expect all of the above mentioned things from women and also expect her to earn a paycheck, cook and clean for them, take care of them when they are sick, care for their offspring, have s*x anytime they want and also to forgive their cheating but to never cheat on them in order to  pay any attention to us.

Just remember that in most all other animal species, it is the male that is the most colorful, the most magnificent, the protector and provider.

See what having a higher intelligence has gotten us?

Answer 3

I agree totally. We are people, not objects to be use to attract attention. But unfortunately the world truely doesnt see it this way, Over the decades, the bodies of women have been used to sell products and services worldwide and even tho' i personally think its derugatory, its very much accepted. I mean; look at victoria secret and music videos............these things have been happening under our noses and we just choose to ignore it.. I guess when women see that their bodies isnt just a product and service; then they will gain some self-respect and come to reality.

Answer 4

I do agree with you that women are to be cherished, but this woman was not forced to be in this picture. If women wouldn't volunteer for modeling positions such as these, companies could no longer use them as s*x symbols. So in a way, it's women who are exploiting their own s*x.

Companies do this to attract the type of customers that would most likely buy their products. In this case, it's men and men are attracted to vuluptuous women.  

Answer 5

Definitely agree with you. I was reading through some brochures and here's a woman dressed in her underwear in a sexual position, and what is it advertising...CANDY BARS! I mean what's up with that!?

People use women like this because s*x sells and they are just using it to attract people to buy their product or come to their event so they can make money.  

Answer 6

I totally agree. Its sad how terrible they make women look. They forget they have daughters, mothers, and sisters of there own who they don't want to be exploited. I wish there was something us women could do about it.

Answer 7

I disagree. First of all, women are NOT goddesses. Yes, that includes you self-proclaimed goddesses or princesses. Second, s*x sells and most of the people going to car shows are horny guys. Most of them don't even go to see the cars but the women posing on them. I know it's not right but it's the world we live in....good luck!
