October 8, 2012 2:19 pm By most peoples standards I am a morally bankrupt individual and as you would expect I have pirated many comic books, I'm the type of person that steals sweetener packets from MacDonald's, who takes stuff from hotel rooms and will take anything I can get my hands on if there are little to repercussions I am poor and any way I can avoid paying for something I will. Do I ever pay for comics? yes. I have gone through periods in my life where i have had money to buy comics weekly at a comic book shop, not to assuage any guilt(I assure you I feel none) but because i prefer to read a physical copy if I can. Now I buy trades only, but only of comics I really like, specifically with art work I really like. For example I'm picking up the prophet trade despite the fact I have pirated every issue. Has digital comics affected things? I wouldn't think so, I think all the digital comics preservation crap is none sense people just don't want to pay for things most people are like me and they just don't want to admit it.

Wow, I'm a Gimmm fan and I didn't even know this existed.

"Tick Tick" is still one of my favorite songs ever...

If see Chris Rock as someone only there to make you laugh and one of your criteria for men is that they are funny doesn't that Chris Rock giving women an excuse to objectify men as obects for our laughter and amusment. Is that bad to?

 

Or is it just that most humans are naturally self centered and think of EVERYTHING as whats in if for them and those who take it to EXTREME leveles (those who don't ever consider other peoples feelings in any situtuation) are just that EXTREME contributed to Chris Rocks jokes or Gerald Butlers abs.

Sex object does have a meaning - it means that your desire for sex with a certain individual makes him into an object meaning they do not have thoughts of their own, wants of their own, etc. All you see is an opportunity for sex and you don't stop to think about the person you only view as a sex object.

 

1. In what warped universe is a boob job "the trendy thing to do" don't be ridiculous

2. You're assuming women only think of them in terms of sex? If they thought of them as potential husbands would that make you feel better? How is thinking of them in terms of sex better than thinking of them in terms of friends or potential husbands/wives. 

3. I don't see how that relates to viewing images on a screen. Also women objectifying men has relatively little meaning because the fact of the matter is looks really are not the deciding factor to women. It can certainly help but in the end being socially "attractive" is more important that being physically "attractive".

What?

But deep down it doesn't seem right. I'm not entirely comfortable with the fact that men are being encouraged to aspire to unattainable levels of physical perfection in just the same way as women.

Why not, I think peolpe should aspire to perfection in every aspect of their lives. As long you keep in things in perspective and don't lose your head I really don't see the problem. 

Also I really don't think it's the same way as women becuase the ideal body image that the mainstream media seems to promote is unhealthy as oposed to the body image perpetuded in 300 wich isI consider very healthy.

and on the subject of objectification, since when do humans beings need an excuse to objectify people not just sexually, seems to me we do it for many other other than sex...and reading wikipedia(lol i know) came across intresting quote..."sex object" means nothing because inanimate objects are not sexual. She continues that women are their bodies and sexuality as well as their minds and souls

 

well...whatever
