I frequently run into feminist bullshit about objectification of women in advertisement for products, and my response is, are you fucking serious? Really?
Sex sells. But did you ever stop to think about the mechanics of it all? Do you really think that the half-naked supermodel on the ad is the one who is being sold? That she’s the one who is exploited, manipulated or abused?
No, she isn’t. She’s well paid for what she does. She’s not the one who is treated as an object in this entire transaction. You are.
You see, it’s like fishing. There’s the fisherman, the hook, the bait and the fish. The point of bait is to look attractive in order to fool the fish into thinking it’s getting something of value, but the whole point of the transaction is to trick the fish into having to surrender its resources (meat) while it mistakenly thinks it’s getting something (bait).
The thing with advertising is actually different in the sense that with advertising, the bait is actively cooperating with the fisherman and is getting the share of your resources, and you are the one who is treated like a helpless idiot who can be shown a sexually attractive female giving out positive sexual signals so that your dick gets hard and you concentrate on the promise of sex while you’re separated from your money. She’s not the sexual object. You are. She is a deceiver, she’s the active party, the subject, while you’re the object. She’s deceiving you, she’s manipulating your instincts for profit. You’re merely the fool who is predated upon by the marketing experts and psychologists and multinational corporations and manipulative women.
Just follow the money. What’s the point of advertising? To sell products. Who buys the products? You do. Who sells the products? The corporation that financed the ad. Who pays for the campaign? The customers do, it’s all financed from revenue. Is the supermodel on the billboard getting money? Yes. Who’s the only one in it that’s not getting the money? You. Therefore you’re the one who’s being exploited and treated like an object. You’re being pulled by your dick into surrendering resources. Essentially, the entire sex/advertisement industry is made on treating men like stupid idiots who can be manipulated by sex into giving money. It’s about time men learn self-respect and simply refuse to look at naked women unless those women specifically show their bodies to them with the purpose of having sex in the context of a meaningful relationship. Stop allowing women to earn money by treating you like idiotic half-human beings who can be easily manipulated by false promises of sex. Start respecting yourselves, and do it by refusing to have your sexuality abused by the advertisement industry which tickles your balls in order to suck your wallet dry. Refuse to even acknowledge the sexual teasing of women unless they really mean it, in the sense that they want to surrender themselves to you and share their life with you. You need to teach women to respect you, and you can’t do that if you don’t respect yourself enough to refuse insincere manipulative offerings.
