And how does this relate to other minorities like blacks?

For example many black intenionally use stereotypes too separate themselves. An example would be one year a black roomate of mine dressed up as a rapper and carried a bucket of chicken to a halloween party?

Answer 1

is this some sort of essay question for school... tisk tisk

hmm well they let themselves become objectified because they can. If men could they would too, (only very very few can - ex. Fabio) so its basically because its human nature to take the easy way out, and being objectified is getting attention and getting everything you want.

How this relates to minorities or blacks? well maybe you can say because they try to have a fight againt racism just like women fight agaisnt objectification, but really it still happens and will always happen?

goodluck

You will uncover that when you dig a bit bit - so much of what you pay attention from Faux Feminism is stuff that's used as a device to achieve a few capabilities. A superb illustration is the 'tradition of rape' - to which now not one civilised, sane character subscribes - and but that is trotted out as by some means - with 0 proof - evidence optimistic that ALL guys use rape and the worry of rape to dominate and oppress females. this whole fantasy is perpetrated and perpetuated via Faux Feminism - on account that via making use of it, FF can achieve coins, investment, aid and recruits. The identical applies mainly to 'objectification' of females. Most guys appreciate a gorgeous woman - however they desire extra in a existence associate than simply an item or a 'Stepford Wife' - no person needs to reside with a doormat or a serf. What feasible foundation is that for any first rate existence? A guy demands a True Partner in existence - one that will do her bit - anything it's - and permit him to do his. ADDS:- While ever FF can painting females as 'oppressed' and 'sufferers' somehow - they may be able to achieve investment, recruits and so on. When the ones wells dry up for loss of actual want - they'll wither at the vine, on account that they aren't self-helping however depend on charity.

Answer 3

I knew a woman whose parents couldn't afford to fund her college education, and she didn't want college loans for the rest of her life. She funded her career in law by doing the following:

1. Took dance classes.
2. Hired a personal trainer.
3. Hired a stylist for makeup and clothing tips.
4. Had breast implants done, large but not obscene.
5. Interviewed, auditioned, and got a job as an exotic dancer in a well-known and VERY expensive Manhattan nightclub.

She made around $150,000 a year PLUS tips. Within 5 years she'd had the boobs removed, invested over half a million dollars, paid off her cosmetic debts, and entered law school. Not bad for a college entry at 25!

So, who was objectifying whom? She knew what she was doing, and did it well, and stepped away from it to have the life she wanted. I always admired her view on this: "This is how society currently works. Some would say it's a dishonor to do this work, but I am going to work the system to my advantage, since nobody's getting hurt by it."

So, that's just one version, but I get what you mean about some women, and for THEM, I really don't pay them any attention. I'm much more interested in women's minds/hearts anyway, because if they don't look good-- we take a trip to the surgeon!

...I'm kidding! No, really...

Women are a mystery, I have to give you that. Women launch loud protests about being objectified, yet are obesssed with having the latest clothes, makeup, and accessories. They hate (and secretly worship) beautiful celebrities. The obsess over losing weight, and throw their money at plastic surgeons, hoping for a quick and miraculous change.

While we're at it, why do women complain that chivalry is dead, yet when a man shows a common courtesy like opening a door for them, they feel insulted and demeaned? Fem-nazis have ruined things for everyone.

Both problems would easily be solved if there were a little more self-confidence and a LOT less materialism in the world.

Answer 5

you can't "un-objectify" yourself when SOMEONE ELSE is putting that on you. What are women supposed to do... wear a veil and burka? that doesn't solve it.

or the "black" individual is supposed to what... conform with so -called "white" culture? Isn't that the most intolerant form of hegemony?

people are put in boxes EVERYDAY
and we come to believe that those categories are real,
that statistical behavioral analysis demonstrates the "who"
of ethnic identities, gender, religious, political.

In effect, feminists wear skirts not because men want them too, but because they choose not to run from people and their stereotyping madness. They choose to individualize themselves and stand up THROUGH the medium of conformity. The lipstick as empowering. The minstrel show a reflective irony, so subversive in it's ambiguity.. it reveals the human condition at this point in our history. That is, Through the trope. Logic and reason fail. We are in a world of the deferral of signification. So much so that the metaphorical has been suplanted by the metonymical and the ironic (Foucault, Vico). And the medium becomes the message.(McLuhan).

Again what are the alternatives? everyone should wear male business suits and act like the people on "The Truman Show"?
That's totalitarian!! of course so is the compartmentalization of people. So it's a lose-lose situation, and all we have left is to be resilient against hegemony, conformity, bias of the prevailing AND REFLECT that nonsense back on itself. (Baudrillard)

Answer 6

Relate this to Wild life. You are a male tiger and A girl Is tigeress. More duty is of a girl is to take care after a male tiger mates and give births to cubs. so what you see tigeress feed their cubs. but when tigeress go away or die the male tiger kill the cubs for re family thats nature.
but humans are also wild cement forest animal. Just reverse the above thing you find love everywhere.
