Take a look at these ads. What messages are they giving? Do you accept them?

That's right, I'm available even if I don't agree... A submissive object for your manipulation.

What can I say? The writing's on the package... Want to be radical? Don't buy American Apparel.

You know she wants it... and she's going to get it. Calvin Klein, another corporate, sexist, misogynist brand. Buy their products, if you agree with rape.

I always dreamed of this.. You think he's big? Wait till you see my stack.  Male fantasy, me thinks and knows...?

Guys, there's enough to go round. I'm here solely for YOUR pleasure. I am a pasive object, without feelings. Exploit me, you know you want to.

The Sum Of My Parts

As women, we are often rated by our physical attributes. Why? Have you ever heard two men discussing that they have cellulite, or that their thighs are too fat? Why should you? Have you ever questioned why our lives are wasted with angst over parts of our bodies? Why does it make us feel good if someone says we have great legs?

Why are we reduced to this?

I am a WHOLE person not reducible to my 'assets'. I am the sum of my parts. Men are not rated according to their physical attributes, therefore, why should I accept anything less?
