[QUOTE="HatGuy, post: 74695529, member: 354015"] The point is that it is ironic that some feminists view inappropriate contentography or the commercialisation of a woman's body as "empowering" as it clearly weakens the feminist cause, not strengthen it. Allow me to illustrate something else for consideration. Frequently I've heard women get upset that if they wear revealing clothing, that men look or have something to say, and some men tell them to cover up. "It's our body," they say, "we can dress as we want." Apparently men just need to grow up and get over it. But when a man wears revealing clothing, then it's "disgusting" or "gross" and he must cover up... or even more, it's intimidating and those same women above say it is potentially threatening. My point in this illustration is to show that the "it's our bodies" argument only goes so far until it actually does affect others. People who believe that what they do should have no affect on others are living in an idealistic dream world. I think "it's our bodies" has its limits, and certainly if the goal is "love" to neighbour and ourselves, both should be considered, not just one over the other. [/QUOTE]
