Reading Carnacki's article on Women in the recommended section drove me to finally get this out there before I explode.
Only under a republican administration.
Yes I blame the new mysogyny on the cultural trends promoted by those in power- of politics, media and the economy. Are women pissed? Hell yes we are- and getting more pissed by the moment as all of the strides we have made under various progressive administrations of the past century have been knocked back to the stone age.
Advertising media these days is a frenzy of testosterone driven images and video that are obviously designed to hypersexualize and trivialize women at the same time.
Take for instance the GoDaddy ad of the female window washer. (left bar side links- click the drop down tabs till you find it.)
Whoever dreamed this one up is satanically brilliant- may he rot.
A highly siliconized and surgically 'enhanced' female window washer outside the boardroom (outside the glass wall/ceiling) wearing daisy dukes and a torn up, barely there t-shirt. She is wiggling, posing and pouring water over herself like a dirty old mans wet-dream. Quick camera focus shots of her butt and chest, etc. At the same time she is mouthing apparently sexy come-ons to the three unattractive men inside the boardroom, but she is completely silenced to them. GoDaddy is printed on her clothing.
The real message?
a. Women are to be seen and not heard.
b. The only power women have is in their sexuality and looks- even if it is artificial.
c. Women are to clean up after men.
d. Women will never break through the glass ceiling (wall in this case).
e. The best women can ever hope for is to fuck their way through to the attention of the men who are inside.
f. It doesn't matter what men look like- if they are inside they will get the women.
And then there is the subtle (or not so subtle) pedophilic message 'GoDaddy!' branded on her clothing. For those who are not of the pedophilic persuasion it symbolically means that this is a woman who sees men as 'Daddy'- giving males a psychological edge of power over this woman who is representing sexuality mixed with the weakness of a little girl.
I have seen hundreds of samples of this and similar on the airwaves and the internet- and getting worse by the week.
Some of the men I have discussed this with say they are disgusted with women for letting themselves be used this way- so therefore women are no better than men who are producing these things.
IMHO these women are no better than the Uncle Toms of the pre-and post slave eras, or the Jews helped keep the records for the Nazi's.
Main idea being that if there were no slavery, no nazis, there would be no reason for betrayal of any kind. These women aren't being sexually liberated- they are being used to spread a message of psychological suppression against thier daughters, sisters and the world. And the men who are driving this social 'trend' are the pond-scum of the universe, along with their 'auntie toms' who apparently can't figure out any other way to support themselves than by whoring their image out and thereby smearing the image of millions of fabulous, intelligent women.
