    that's because men don't register on any list of groups with officially recognised grievances by the liberals who measure theese things , thier is a hierarchy of victimhood among the left and men are not even on the 1st rung , well , not certain kinds of men
    Maybe it's because those, in whose interest it would be, don't bother their holes mobilising and taking a stand, and instead bitch and moan on the net about other people not doing it for them?

    Says jealous and insecure for me, not fat and ugly as y'all are claiming.

    Dudess, you tend to make a lot of sense when I read your posts in general but..... have we been reading the same thread here?

    Christ. Sexism doesn't = 'about women'.

    If women cared so much about sexism, why don't they campaign against ads where men are objectified?

    It's not about men saying ''can't someone else do it?".

    Can you really not understand what's being said here?

    Nobody's bitching and moaning about "other people" not doing it. They're discussing a certain group, i.e. feminists/some women who will complain about women being objectified but will not care if men are objectified which is hypocritical considering their equality stance.

    Wow. 17 ugly people with nothing better to do.


    They probably wouldn't even fit in a ryanair seat anyway.

    That individual is a woman but I didn't say those kinds of comments are limited to men.

    The thread has been done to death though - it's gas the way the OP posted it as if it's really original.

    My point exactly!

    We women are far too sensitive at times.

    You little legend.




    Gosh the amount of false claims being fired around in this thread is unreal. There is a coterie of posters trying to put words in posters mouths now to suit their own argument...unbelievable.

    I suspect the train wreck that's followed the OP was the intention.

    Or maybe it's not a problem for most men because we don't give a sh!t. By the way, no bloke in this thread is bitching and moaning about men being objectified, it's merely being pointed out that a double standard exists and you're looking at it in such a way that enables you to complain.

    As usual :rolleyes:

    The fact that the fat & ugly thing has been brought up unprovoked seems to validate the jealous and insecure line even more.

    Ah **** this thread.

    Of course I can - it's been said over and over in the last couple of days. Hypocritical to bitch about a group not fighting your cause though, right or wrong, if you won't do a thing yourself.

    Yet you seem to think it ok for someone to take this comment made by a woman, and use it to attack the penis size of men? :confused:

    People regularly say it - it looks quite vicious. And says more about those who say it really. I really don't give a **** about those ads, I think women have the right to use their bodies for commercial gain - I would. But there is no evidence that those who complain about such ads are fat and ugly. Possibly they are but what's the point saying it without proof?

    PM se...

    Why is sexism such a difficult topic?
