Why would women continue to attend Girls Gone Wild events if they are "degrading to women" ?

Question

__

... "because the women don't realize they're degrading themselves.."

Based on who's definition of "degrading"? Yours?

Now how does that statement really sound to you? Can that even be logically possible, that someone has degraded THEMSELVES but they don't know it?

Answer 1

Degrading means doing something you don't like and humiliating yourself. If they want to do this then it's not degrading.  

Answer 2

Because they see it as a form of validation. They see it as garnering "approval" in a culture that values women for their beauty.

Answer 3

Women across the world have many different opinions on what is, or isn't degrading to them.  It doesn't mean any particular one is wrong or right, like anything, there will always be a range of opinion  :-)

Answer 4

Booze.

Answer 5

Take a look at the demographic portrayed in those shows. I think it speaks for itself.  

Answer 6

Because the women who participate in that sort of thing don't realize that they are degrading themselves. They like the male attention and feel that it is validation that they are attractive.

EDIT: Actually yes, you can degrade yourself without being aware of it. 20 years from now ask one of these girls who showed her t*ts to a bunch of strangers if she still thinks it's cool. I can almost guarantee her response would be shame. You might also want to look at the fact that a lot of these women are intoxicated during filming and how that affects their judgement...

Answer 7

Vanity. They love the attention.  

Answer 8

liberating, i doubt... degrading- definitely. We have come so far and for every step we take, there's always people that take us a mile back.

20 years from now, I'm curious what these womens excuses would be

to their kids or husbands. How can you possibly explain that to your child. Easy to blame alcohol I suppose.

Answer 9

oddly those girls feel s**y i guess.  most of the time those girls are pissy drunk. other than that, i have no idea why they're being so raunchy & skankish. lol. i always wondered the same thing. i would see these girls on the previews on tv & would become thoroughly disgusted.  

Answer 10

Why do bats sleep upside down?  The mysteries of the female s*x are deep and varied...and just remember, women are always right!  ;)  

Answer 11

Most women don't attend those events. It's just those who like attention and are hoping to get a little fame from it that go.

Answer 12

Because they find it liberating instead of degrading. They've bought into the myth that exposing your b*****s to some drunken guy with a camera is a good way to get power.

Answer 13

Cash and liquor, everyone has their price, and this is obviously theirs.

Answer 14

lol only feminists can hate something which women enjoy and which men enjoy

"20 years from now the women will look back and regret it"?

SO WHAT? Who doesn't regret things they did when they were younger.

God.. these people...

Answer 15

Because they're drunk, they're stupid, and they're too young to know better.

Answer 16

alcohol, party type environment where everyone is trying to unwind and let loose.

  The GGW producers know this. They are sexual predators and should be treated as such.

That and I am sure they violated a few minimum wage laws..(paying chicks with T-shirts and other things that doesn't= the amount the work is valued at).

Answer 17

You know, a friend of mine and I where just talking about this today. So I'm going to give you a star for this question.

I think that most girls who do attend and participate in the the GGW gatherings and videos  do this because its excitement to them. They feel liberated (in a crazy way) knowing that they're doing something that daddy won't approve of. This is sort of their way of saying that "I'm grown and I can do what ever I want" (since most of the girls in the videos are under the age of 25.

And from what I was told by a friend, sometimes the founder and producer of the show would just pop in somewhere to see what they could get on film. So if this is correct, most of the times the girls would show up and latter find themselves posted all over the internet.

They don't really regret what they have done until they see themselves carrying on while publicly intoxicated. Remember, most people make their mistakes while having a healthy does of "liquid courage".  

Answer 18

Attention and low self esteem. They think they are "movie stars" because people are paying attention to them and they think these people think they are hot because they show their bodies. - It's sad, but true.
