Rant.

I decided not to throw this overly long "status" at the facebook masses and simply post it here.


Far too many Facebook pages demeaning women as mere sex objects. I am not going to rant and rave about anyone who likes them, because I don't care, it doesn't particularly show anything about you, but some of the content on these pages is absolutely ridiculous. None of them are a celebration of a woman's beauty or figure, they're just perpetuating the image of the "perfect" woman and their only use as an object of desire.


I am sure that sounds pretty damn pretentious and I know if I don't like something, it doesn't mean everyone else has to. I also realise that I don't really have any right to criticise it, but I have just seen so many of these pages about women. They're not wrong nor do I have any right to say they shouldn't exist, there is just so damn many of them and they're all the same. They all objectify women as sexual instruments and are only directed at males, it seems. Maybe it's just me, but a picture that has a woman bending over and asking if you like it, is not very forward thinking or a celebration of her being attractive. It's just a provocative image, asking if you'd like to sleep with her. I mainly have an objection to the pictures that say things such as: "I wish I could just press mute and get her to take her clothes off" or an Xbox controller stylised to look a bra, with the caption: "The best way to control-her".

Look, it's been awhile.

It really has. I best get back into this, however, I won't be deleting and switching up accounts, I'll stick with this blog and try to develop it further.
