The arguments are interesting, but I kind get lost in translation somewhere, so I don't know whether my arguments will be relevant enough.
Due to my upbringing, I'm not entirely comfortable with sex and anything related to it. Though I've learned to respect people's choices and refrain myself from laying judgment. Call me anything, but hopefully the respect will be mutual on both sides.
I just find it odd that the trend that I see that those who pose naked are more often women than men. If red carpet events can be used a reference of how to dress or look their best, why is it the women always wear less clothes (and more skin) and the men always wear more clothes (never wears shirt only, there's always a jacket: suits, tuxedo, etc. and barely any skin at all). If equality is set based on the men's standard (in this case, more clothes), why should women wear less? So I think it's natural if I get the impression that women tried to get over their insecurities by being (or at least appearing) bolder than men. Which is rather a shallow kind of equality to me. I just don't know what it proves, really.
Personally, I just want that people when they look at me, they won't only be looking at the physical aspects they find appealing, because people tend to fail to look beyond them, or at least ignore them.
Women has their right to choose what to do with themselves, including flaunting their sexuality. However, they must be aware that their choice would reflect upon women in general, whether they want to or not. It's just like the dumb blonde stereotype, which might be true to some, but not all. Those who might match the stereotype might not care much, but how about the others who don't? Whatever they do ends up being undone and cementing the stereotype instead. Would that be fair?
Basically, equality is a work of all men and women. It is not a work of few. That I completely agree.
Actually, I find your arguments more to the point than mine. ^^; Women do have the right to present themselves in their own ways, but they do have to keep in mind of how they present themselves. Same with men, and you are so darn right about women being more often revealing themselves on the red carpet than men...it's kinda saddening.
I guess...I was just downright frustrated with what human traffickers and so forth do and what the women who support those people do when they claim to be "feminists". That was why I wrote this post. However, in ways, the other girl here does have a point. I shouldn't judge based on sexuality, either.
It's just when human traffickers (including, and especially the Camorrista ones) say they are not violating anything bad that gets to me. And especially when some women support them and think themselves right and "feminists"(Camorra women or most women in Naples who support the Camorra).
