Answer this question to yourself ladies: If someone was to offer you $80,000 to host a TV that was mostly watched by males, and an extra $2,000 every episode to dress in way that maybe showed a little more skin or accented your boobs a little more, the question is would you take that job over taking one that would require you to sit behind a desk, or landscaping, or actaully doing some sort of manual labor for only $45,000 a year?
I have a feeling that most of you if you really thought it out would easily pick the TV job. Not only would it be easier, but its worth more money! But this is also why women have in a way created their own image in the public eye. Its easier to have your picture taken for an hour while you stand in a bikini getting paid more in that hour than you would working a whole year sitting behind a desk actually having to think to be able to accomplish your job. And since a lot of women believe that you have to "look good" to be popular and have boyfriends, the TV job would seem appealing. So forgive the men who find the tan, dark haired brunette wearing a pink pushup bra which can easily be seen through her lacey white low-cut shirt, and dont forget the jean miniskirt, that has frayed holes in the thigh area, sexy and beautiful. Because her morals and beliefs about how the female is portrayed obviously arent as important for her as more money. Which for most of us sadly to say is more important to us than respect to ourselves and others.
So for all those feminists that sit and point figures, sit down and think of the ways you fuel the image women have today in society. Maybe what you say in public, or how you dress going to a party, or how you act infront of guys maybe just to try and turn one of them on. Before judging everyone else, make sure the first person you criticize is the one standing in the mirror. Because when all is said and done, you are the only one that you can change.
Comments Welcome :)
I actually agree with you. It is through actions like that, that make men (and women) see women for what they look like. But I also think that there truely are many women who would not take a job like that because it does go against everything that they believe in; or maybe they just wouldn't be comfortable doing that on TV.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you say, but I doubt the female population that do expose their skin for money or whatever the reasons are, are the one who really want equality and a non-gender society. They can use their gender as a power to get what they want-which is easier for them, then working an office job.
