I'm confused where it promotes unhealthy eating habits. These girls looked pretty healthy to me. eek

Because it signaled "look at all those sexy people! Listen to those hotties and babes!"


So being hot is bad?


Relying solely on being hot is.


Where did the video say that the women should only do that & never anything else?

It presented itself in such a way. If you can't read between the lines, you're in for some problems.


I kept forgetting to ask, but did you notice my reply to that?

I think it was heavily sexualized and objectifying, to both sexes. And while it IS a good flight instruction and a refreshment at that, it could have been done better.


How can it be objectifying if it never said "Rape is OK" or "Ignore women's feelings!"? Is it objectifying just because it is sexy outside of a romantic context? Please answer soon.

I haven't watched the ad but I am frustrated that you don't seem to understand what objectification is and you keep saying wrong things.

All it takes is a quick search.

Nowhere in the video did it shout "Women are inferior scum" or "rape is OK" so how the heck is it sexist or objectifying?.


You have an exceptionally simplistic understanding of the world

So a video has to literally shout s**t at your for you to determine whether it's sexist or not?

Objectification is the portrayal of a person in a manner that places emphasis on their body and not on their personhood

The roles the women play in the advert objectifies the female form - they're not hired to talk to the viewer or to express anything but only to look good. Their bodies serve as sexual decoration.

You seem to believe that objectification is a crime perpetrated against the actresses or something like that, like it can only be sexist if the women were forced to perform against their will at gunpoint

No, it's not objectifying if you do something, but if you just are, if you stand there doing nothing except looking good, that's pretty damn objectifying. If what you are doing is only minor next to how you are, it's objectifying.
People see it as sexist and objectifying because it is entirely unnecessary it's just there because tits improve things (apparently).

That being said, there's this thing I like to call "freedom".
People choose to go into these ads and do these sorts of things.
People choose to be in porn and people choose to be in dirty music videos where their only purpose is to jiggle their a**.

It's this magical thing called freedom and freedom doesn't mean having to do what other people on the internet think you should do.

FREEDOM!
There is a difference between being sexy and being objectified. Certainly this is a lot more different than if they were to show housewives in the kitchen.

Are the women in the video victims of anything? I recall also asking why people don't complain of being a chef as objectifying, preparing food is something you do with your body alone.

Maybe the way you do it; I personally can't fix cakes while asleep or spaced-out.

You're missing the point entirely.

A chef's job is to cook. It doesn't matter what they LOOK like.
Objectification is when the job is to look pretty and decorate the area. Because then you are an OBJECT.

Not all objects are for decoration.

. Noting that the term sexist implies actual hostile intent, this raises the question: how can you show sexiness of someone's body without being sexist?

Do you mean without objectifying them? Sexism is gender-based discrimination. And to answer your question, you can't show the sex appeal of someone's body without objectifying them. They keyword you used is 'their body' - you are not showing off the person, you are showing off the object that is that person.

You can use sex appeal without objectifying though. It's contextual. If she's wearing attractive clothing during an interview, I'd be hard-pressed to call it objectification. If her face is the prime focus at all, proooobably not objectification. If her only crime is being well-dressed/good looking and her body isn't be waved around in front of the viewer, that's cool too.

Should people keep their clothes on during sex or only look at faces during sex?

Come on kid, what answer did you expect me to give when you wrote that shining masterpiece of a reply?

Have you been so thoroughly dismantled that you have no other challenging response to give; or are you so functionally inept that you honestly thought that absurd strawman was a legitimate strong retort?
