Yet sexism exists. thrives, is a cornerstone of these cultures.


I do not think there is culpability here. Men have always, and will always objectify women unless you modify men at a genetic level not to. This is not a pass for subjugating women, treating them as only sexual objects, but when I see a pretty one, I'm going to wonder what shes like naked no matter how great a person she is and how many PhD's she holds. You, as a woman are a sex object to men.



So its ok for a woman to sell her self for sex but not ok for her to advertise it? A woman can't use her body to help sell a car, or look sexy turning letters on a popular game show? To say prostitution is ok and then whine about a thin model on TV seems very hypocritical to me.

Obviously you can find some shocking things in the media, most likely designed to shock for attention, that are over the top, but that in itself does not mean there is a problem with the culture, it just means some add exec wanted to shock you ala abercrombie and fitch.
