That's the bit I don't get, but to be honest when I first noticed you had a female avatar, I did check out your profile and your blog from DP lol
Sex sells and always will, until women cease to be attractive. But that my friends will be a cold, cold world.
Women won't cease to be attractive, because there are varying levels of what men find "attractive" about them. Sex sells, period.
It is such a cruel, cruel world we live in. No matter how hard we try to resist men can be suckered by a pretty face.
Maybe this is why Islamic women are really supposed to wear head scarfs. It isn't to protect women, but to give men a fighting chance of keeping control of their senses. Hmmm... in Western society who is the true victim of the objectifying of women? Is it really the women or the poor men who get suckered into buying things or doing things they wouldn't buy or be interested in if they had full control of their senses? Let me go shut myself in a safe closet with no pictures while I think this one over.
Haha this thread is funny. Lemme share my story then I am not *testing* anything but I noticed that I was getting much more green rep (around 4-5/day and more pms also ) when I had my own pic in my avatar and also more more visitors from dp to my blog Now that I changed it to the cat... hah! no need to explain what happened
The system is less than perfect. It's much less distracting than the hockey mask, but I'm still considering alternatives. If that were the case with head scarves these guys need to get a grip. People should wear what they want and be judged on an individual basis. The true victims of the objectification of women are the women who don't want to be objectified. Men are the victim of their own lack of self-control. I guess you could say everyone is a victim of nature, but we're all responsible for our own actions. Some people use their looks to the fullest extent to manipulate and deceive others, but that's just mean. Showing a pretty face to sell a product is appealing to desire but not necessarily manipulating anyone.
Leave it to someone to take me way too seriously. This isn't a political debate and my comments shouldn't have been read as an opening to turn this into a political discussion. It was nothing more than some light hearted jests at two extreme sides of an issue. Come on folks, lighten up.
I actually was wondering this, and I saw your avatar and I figured you were seeing if it would bring more traffic. Time for me to set mine up
