So here is something that just pisses me straight off:
In movies, when there is nudity, it is SOOOO often the woman who is nude. Example: in Crash, during the very awkward sex scene, there is so so much female nudity, but we basically just see his arms. Not that I want to see more of him, I just want to see less of her.
Alright, so this bugs me for a few basic reasons:
1. As a woman, I want respect. I would assume that other women want respect as well. Why are these idiot women taking off their clothing in front of cameras for the whole world to see? We're hurting our own cause here, ladies!!!
2. Why are men watching this? Don't they realize how horribly degrading it is to women like me? Don't they know that it makes me want to cry that whomever I marry will have seen other women's bodies just by watching movies? How am I supposed to compare to some digitally enhanced supermodel?
3. It is so sexist. I have seen loads of movies that have boob shots all over the place. However, I have never seen a movie where a guy's penis is out there for all to see. Again, not that I want to see more male nudity in movies, I just want to see less female nudity.
So, there was somewhere I was going with this, but in my anger I have forgotten where that is. For right now, I'm just pissed off at the film industry, at promiscuous women, and stupid horny boys who egg them on.
That would be all.
