Ya Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

Once upon a time, there was a word. This word was feminist. It used to mean equality for women. The right to vote, equal wages... And the word was good.
Along came the militant "feminists", who stole away the word to put the men-hating nature behind it to mask it. And so, a word was raped and pillaged. And the world wept.
There's a particular type of "feminist" I particularly hate. Specifically, those who drone on and on about objectifying women and how it's wrong and disgusting, only to drool over Heat's Torso Of The Week, eyes bulging. The ones who are outraged at men for looking at women as just body parts... unless, of course, the men turn their attentions to THEIR body parts in which case they're flattered, and reveling in the attention as much as possible, not able to see that they're doing the same thing to them as the women she's gotten so very furious about.
This is not feminism. This is jealousy and insecurity. I don't wanna hear any argument about this point, that's what it is, pure and simple.
Women are bitchy little creatures. They can form lifelong bonds with their girlfriends, be the best and most trustworthy pals ever, but down at their core, most wish to be more desirable than their friends, and will get rather pissed if that doesn't happen. That's... Pathetic.
She says she is brains, not just a body, but the fact of the matter is, she can't help but revel in the gazes upon her.
Personally, I've no problem with women being objectified, to a degree. I mean, women are just as bad, if not worse, than men. Take stripping. Male audiences, female audiences. Both step outta line and grab what they shouldn't. Both can get rather brutal and physical. Fact is, there are more cases of women hurting male dancers by frenzied grabbing and mauling than there are men.
They drool over male body parts just as much as the men drool over females... It's just the men are more socially allowed to broadcast it.
Some actress shows her breasts in a movie. Big deal. I don't see you complaining about male full frontal nudity. At least some of us are consistent - I don't need to see Brad Pitt's ass, or anybody's. I don't get offended - I just don't need to see it. Gratuitous shots in movies piss me off a little, but the fact is that sex sells, to both men and women alike.
Of course, it's a bit different if someone is attached and drooling over other people constantly, without any regard for their partner, but again, women do that just as much. Men are just more public about it. Some of them aren't even all that bothered, some try to fit in with the rest because it's drilled into their heads that that's the way it should be. As long as respect is maintained, don't bitch. And it is possible to find someone sexually attractive and still respect them. All of the successful relationships in the world prove it to be possible.
Just stop bitching because you're jealous that you're not the piece of meat. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. I'm a jealous type, but I readily admit that is because I'm incredibly insecure about myself. I'm working on it. And I'm nothing close to being a hottie, but you know what? I don't care, because the one person I want to find me attractive, sexy, does.
Why would I want anyone else to?
