Women In Society Are Undermined

how is it a choice..when society and fashion clearly makes the rules on how you should act and dress. If you dont follow it, you will be a social outcast, you wont be fashionable, you wont really be attractive will ya...well atleast not in the eyes of society.

Oh god. Open your eyes. Yes women are still oppressed blah blah, but men these days are treated in exactly the same way pretty much.

Abercrombie and fitch use male topless models in their stores -those men are serving nothing but eye candy. Men are the ones generally who have to chat up girls, and there are naked male magazines.

And I don't feel like I HAVE to wear skimpy clothes in winter -I'm all for wrapping up warm. Your attitude to women is about as oppressive as you're making out society is - ever wonder if these women CHOSE to wear these things and act this way? That isn't oppression.

Do you think women in today's society are undermined and a bit oppressed. I mean as a woman i literally get sick at the fact that when i walk into a shop, i see magazines with naked women on them. When im walking across the street, even though its freezing, women think that they HAVE to wear something skimpy to feel the littlest bit attractive.
In shows, its always the women who are the ones who seduce the men by wearing barely anything or things that are soo skin tight.
In adverts, they sell things by making women seem soo sexual, i.e. women in barely anything.
I think women are treated as more of a sex symbol than as humans in media and society.

I just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way??

I think you should stop worrying your pretty little head put your knickers on and go make me a cup of tea. Leave the serious business up to me.

*Pinches ass*

Thanks sweet cheeks.

4. Sex sells, they do it to men too.

Men and Women are both screwed over by advertising.

The area for concern really is the workplace, the absence of women in the House Of Commons is a concern, for example. The pay-gap also needs addressing.

The pay gap doesn't exist. Men work longer hours, in more dangerous environments, they move for work more, they don't take paternity leave etc. etc. So I guess the pay gap does exist, but it exists for a reason - because men deserve more money because they do more work. In a capitalist economy do you seriously think people are going to pay more to higher the same worker? Companies who employed women would have lower wages to pay out and would thus be more successful, so other companies would follow suit.

Furthermore women just aren't as politically motivated as men, perhaps they don't feel the need for control, who knows. But one only has to look at constituency meetings, and party conferences, to realise that womens attendance even at levels of governance that are open door is far lower than mens. I don't see why there is a song and dance about fields where the male:female ration is poor because men certainly do not get any such help; for instance they are drastically under represented in nursing, social care, teaching, and the home.

There were some initiatives being undertaken to encourage more men into teaching, though I can't remember what they were :P

Well obviously people get paid more for working more, but the problem lies where women get paid less for working the exact same amount, which can and does happen.
