(15,314 posts)It isn't about prudes and anti sex. It's not even about being offended. For some, the just don't think it belongs in GD. That's my main objection. I think posting stuff like that creates the wrong environment. There's a time and a place. But I agree that it does objectify women. I noticed you hate the ads depicting the "perfect mom" That's how that woman is choosing to control her body as well, by being in that ad. But you still criticized it because of the message it sends. The critique many have over the SI cover isn't about being anti sex. It's about the effect images have and objectification, and objectification isn't about anti-sex. I don't think a woman needs to have her feminist card removed if she isn't immediately and totally on board with the objection to the SI swimsuit cover. But I don't think much of anyone joining in on the piling on and mis-characterizing of those who object to the GD posts, no matter how feminist they may claim themselves to be.
