Nothing.
It says nothing.

I DON'T EVEN: Why I don't like the "Jenny Thunder" thing
9091:
It’s really homophobic, that’s why I hate it. I don’t like that “So heterosexual” meme either.
You and Amanda have given me a lot to think about. I’ve used the Jenny Thunder tag before, and joked about how “heterosexual” the cast is….
Oh, strangepicturesofmishacollins, is that you? Heh… my hands are far from clean on this one. I do like to drool over pictures of my favourite celebrities, so I hope nobody thinks I’m being puritanical about this. Just musing. Thanks for being cool about it.
Yeah, that’s me!
I don’t think saying “Hey, he’s handsome” or “He’s beautiful” is necessarily objectification, it’s more involved than that. And men are less vulnerable to objectification than women.
… Are they? I think they arguably get objectified less / differently in the media, but on an individual basis, I’m not sure I’d agree.
Mind you, it’s hard to discuss this and not be reminded of a certain gif… and the smirk that followed. ;)
This goes way beyond media to just be general cultural value. Women are seen as objects that “pretty the place up,” basically. This affects every woman of every age and every walk of life. Female infants are called “pretty little princess” on onesies. Little girls get play makeup sets and play dress up. Brides wear thousand dollar dresses on their wedding days. Female presidential candidates have their wardrobe dissected on TV and the wives of male presidential candidates feature in fashion magazines. It’s a pervasive cultural value. It’s the reason that “ugly” is one of the worst insults you could ever throw at a woman.
I knew there was a reason I liked you.
If I had a shop, at Christmas I’d split it into “gifts for boys” and “gifts for girls.” Clear dividing line, right down the middle.
And on the boy’s side there’d be red things and blue things and pink things, pretty dolls and puzzles and things for adventuring.
And on the girl’s side there’d be red things and blue things and pink things, pretty dolls and puzzles and things for adventuring.
- Interviewer: What would you say is the gayest thing about you?
- Stephen Fry: Um, my preference for men and having sex with them rather than women in the end must be it.
Where does your comment fall in this pyramid? If it’s Contradiction or below, I’m gonna say maybe don’t bother.
Unless it’s name-calling, in which case, use your best comedic judgement.
