you amuse me – would you calm down, a little?

I really don’t understand some of the radical feminists of the world… is it really so hard to see that pretty women are just plain more fun to look at than men?

“The contrivance of the supermodel or porno-model has become a mythical perfect woman, a beast which “normal” men could only have in their wildest dreams and so they must settle for “normal” women. Many men also have fantasies of buying such mythical women and humiliating them in some sort of retaliation for the power the women have (or have been socialized into having) over them. We don’t bat an eyelash when actresses do promo shot after promo shot in their underwear, in bed, in compromising positions, and actors do not. We are fed fashion layouts portraying women as beat-up, raped, tortured, or dead junkies.” – link

A less hysterical view on beauty can be found here…

“The transformation from pretty woman to knee-weakening babe is all the more amazing because the changes wrought by Johnston’s software are, objectively speaking, quite subtle. He created the original face by digitally averaging 16 randomly selected female Caucasian faces. The morphing program then exaggerated the ways in which female faces differ from male faces, creating, in human-beauty-science parlance, a “hyperfemale.” The eyes grew a bit larger, the nose narrowed slightly, the lips plumped, and the jaw contracted. These are shifts of just a few millimeters, but experiments in this country and Scotland are suggesting that both males and females find “feminized” versions of averaged faces more beautiful.” – link

Along those lines, it amazes me that people cannot simply see humor in things. Why would the same people that want women to be able to expose their breasts to nurse in public suddenly turn shy on te issue of panties? Kudos to E-Color for having a sense of humor.

A model in a slinky black negligee brandishes a pair of red panties in front of her face under this come-on copy: “She wants: He-can’t-keep-his-hands-off-me-red. She’s afraid she’ll get: You-belong-on-a-street-corner red.” – article

“You’d think that IDG’s Industry Standard would have more respect for women in the industry and have a policy against ads that degrade women,” said Sylvia Paull, a PR consultant and founder of GraceNet. At the group’s meeting last week where members voted on the ad for the award (and where I spoke on a panel), Paull took a shot at the Standard’s publisher: “Shame on you, John Battelle!” – article

For something really funny that would probably sell a lot of computers, go here.

Finally, some really pretty models can be seen here, ignore all the screaming paranoia and misquoted statistics from biased sources – just look at the girls ๐Ÿ™‚
