Journal 6

I do think that males are ocjectified and commoditized like women, but in drastically different manners. Women are objectified by a male-dminated society portraying them as sex objects for potential corporate revenue. The ones in charge of marketing, advertising, and imaging understand that when men see a picture of a sexually attractive women, they are not merely thinking about how good they look. The desires of the mla eaudience is what makes it profitable, but with a sinister tinge to it. When women view sexually attractive men, they do not simply see their worth as a simple sexual expletive. Women and men view sex in polar opposite manners. This does not make it wrong, evil, disgusting, or bad. This is just the way it is. In our society of idealized perfect social harmony and equitable treatment for all (which has resulted in some of mankind's best accomplishments), it would be a fallacy to say that men do not view women in some form of inferior way. While men may agree that women deserve equal rights, hang around any men for a few days and one will understand where i am coming from. While this journal prompt has an obvious hint towards the 'sexual' objectification of men vs. women. Hence, my answer.
