Objectification and You

There are only three things in this world that fill me with real rage and anger:

1.     Racism

2.     Bullying

3.     And Sexism

But Olli you say, women have the vote and make up 51% of the population, how can you say there is still sexism. Oh boy do we have some work to do.

Yes you have quite correctly said that women make up 51% of the population, so in this modern world you’d expect them to earn 51% of the money. Actually on average they earn 17% less than men and make up 70% of the population of those in poverty. Why you ask, well think about it, you’re on a plane going to Spain or somewhere. The captain’s voice comes on over the tannoy  “This is your captain speaking, blah, blah...” Imagine the voice. My guess is it’s a male voice rather than a female voice right? Maybe that’s why only 6% of pilots in the U.S are Female? Sure that’s only one profession but try again, picture a doctor. Bet your imagined doctor wasn’t a woman. So with this in mind is it any surprise that employers would rather employ a male candidate then a female candidate if they are equally qualified. Or maybe she’d get the job if she has nice tits.

This (conveniently) brings me onto my second point that makes me angry, women in the media.

 Let’s play a game, its called “nameapopstarandthinkabouthowgoodarolemodelsheis”  (copyright 2012). Like Vera Lynn in the good old days of “Keep Calm and Carry On”. I pick that charming young “lady” Katy Perry. With music videos that might as well be soft-core porn and lyrics bursting with innuendo and straight up perverted images. Not to mention the fact that she seems to have no disenable talent at all and like most pop starlets, sucked her way to the top. One record executive at a time. I’m so glad I don’t’ have a daughter. It appears that “nameapopstarandthinkabouthowgoodarolemodelsheis”  (copyright 2012)  really doesn’t have a future because all pop stars act like cheap whores for our pleasure that really makes me sick. 

The way the media presents women is disgusting, they present them just like you would food. Like something for you to consume and throw away when you’re done with it. Jeez it’s like they’re not even people or anything. That’s the saddest thing of all; no one seems to understand that  women are people with insecurities and a beating heart and a desire to be loved. Just like you and me, a person.  So do me a favor:  treat them like one.
