Re: Misogyny: Women in Music Videos

[Sarasince1992]

I'd MUCH rather be Oprah than one of those ladies showing off their bodies to the world. I've actually thought before how cool it would be to be Oprah, with her own show where she talks about whatever she wants, with billions or trillions of dollars, and the love and respect of so many people around the world.

The main flaw - not with you - but with the video that this is a response to:

Misogyny is the HATRED of women.

A Misogynist HATES women.

Misogyny does not mean, "Finding Women Attractive".

Misogyny does not mean, "Getting Sexually Aroused by HOT women".

Misogyny does not mean, "Being a Sexualized Man"

Feminism has perverted "misogynist" to such an extent its true meaning has been lost.

Jack the Ripper - misogynist.

Guy watching hot chick video and liking it - not a misogynist.

I agree.. sex sells. & yes it's where all of the stereotypes come from..

Women do exploit themselves, not necessarily others, but those judgments are then applied to the female gender rather than to those who do certain things..

I agree, it's in the nature of humans to want the easy way out, or in..

You had great points expressed clearly and precisely. You delve right into the point rather than falling into digression and that's laudable, especially with the multitude of trite opinion videos on here.

As for the subject matter, where you say that we influence the media through what we buy rather than the other way around, I never really took much time to think about it that way. I guess like Fugazi said, "Never mind what they're selling, it's what you're buying."
