Are you okay with women being overly sexualized in the media?

It's pretty normal and expected now a days for a leading woman to be attractive, skinny, pretty, and all in all desirable. They frequently are shown stripping down to there underwear, or naked, because it's "hot". They like to tease with cleavage, etc. In movies, most female characters have a respectable rack. Do you guys think women are overly sexualized? Personally I don't care because hey who doesn't like looking at hot women?

  • >Implying that sexualization of an item is a bad thing >Implying that men aren't also sexualized. Pfsch.

    • No, it steadily starts to get more and more annoying as time goes on.

    • I know I've already posted on this thread months ago, and my reply still stands; I've accepted it but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm okay with it. Actually, me and my mother was discussing this topic yesterday, because lately I've been really dreading going out in public. It seems like I can't go to the drug store, grocery store, the mall, etc, without feeling extremely uncomfortable by having these men, which are clearly old enough to be my father (or some even grandfather) making it bluntly obviously they're sizing me up. It's completely disgusting and before someone makes a comment saying; "Well, cover yourself up more", when it's 30 C, I'm not going to wear a sweater and jeans because grown men can't keep their eyes to themselves. Even in the winter, it happens, but lately it's been so much worse, to the point I usually decline my friend's invites to go shopping. It's not flattering, it's not cute, it's gross. It makes me wonder, what exactly makes these grown, older men, (sometimes even with their wives) think it's okay, to size up a young girl, that's clearly young enough to be their daughter, and to have no shame doing so? Perhaps they're just perverted, but why are there so damn many of them? Why do it happen so frequently? I honestly believe it's due to the media, which constantly show these men (of all ages) that woman are objects and it's okay to view them as such. It's okay to size them up from head to toe, although you may make them feel uncomfortable because that's what they're there for. Their body is for your viewing pleasure, and I think a lot of men carry this mindset into the public.

      • I mind when it dosen't make sense. "I'm going to fight a life or death fight, I might as well put this piece of metal as boob armor..." (Unless its a cheat later in the game) I haven't seen any sexualized women in games that I've played recently except for courtesans in the background of clubs or cities (Mass Effect, GTA, Assassins Creed) and on a side note, I don't count skin tight armor as anything sexualized... (Samus' Zero Suit, Reach Female Spartans, any armor for women in Mass Effect)

      • The whole point of clothes is covering yourselves. Because pedobears out in the world will try to attack you if you are naked... And alone.

      • Not gonna lie, of course I prefer women like described in the first paragraph. But, truth be told, the modern view is very perverted. Women are just as qualified as men to go to school, work, make a living, and raise a family.

          What's more pertinent is a general, alarming shortage of ugly people in media.

            I prefer my oversexualized women to have thick thighs, librarian glasses, and a turtleneck with the boobs poking out of the collar. This train don't stop for size zeroes

            Not my problem. You can thank our society. Personally, I don't like anyone no matter what, so why should I care?

              That's a hard one... I hate gawkers but wow, I have a tendancy to be a hypocrite and gawk... Solution: keep it in the media.
