This could be the beginning of a dangerous trend. The Amsterdam branch of fashion brand, Stüssy, is encouraging fans to click the "like" button on photos of a sexy model on their Facebook page. The more "likes" a photo receives, the more clothes the heavily dressed model in the photo will take off. In other words, this chick is digitally stripping for "likes."
Is the campaign clever? Without a doubt. Degrading to women? Some says yes. Plus, as some point out, it could be in violation of Facebook’s Terms of Service. Facebook’s promotional guidelines read, "You must not use Facebook features or functionality, such as the Like button, as a voting mechanism for a promotion." What do you think of the "strip for likes" campaign? Is it a genius way to get clicks and likes? Or just plain tacky?
As for this supposed war on women, that's a joke. There is however, a much more likely war on masculinity.
Skip to minute 3:00 for the REALLY good stuff.
So, stereotypes are acceptable when applied to one gender but not the other? There en-lies the misguided double-standard of cultural feminism. You claim you want equality, are not willing to take the blame for your own actions and are all too trigger happy to directly (even in public admission) misplace blame.
Mass generalization has never really proven successful in the argument for or against anything or anyone...period. You can't label an entire group of people while simultaneously claiming to be the victim of being generalized. There is a point where personal accountability kicks in and to be fair models wouldn't be models if they didn't posses a certain desire for some level of exhibitionism. In our overly sexualized society this sort of thing has become the norm....and its not just on FB, its on mainstream family viewing time tv, ABC, CBS, NBC are peddling today what 20 years ago would have been considered smut and yet, somehow, we're ok with it today.
You want to point a finger at someone? How about the feminists? The women who have worked hard for the last 50 years+ to purposefully destabilize society by attacking heterosexual marriage, promoting a deliberate blurring of gender roles, promoting same-ge...

You want to point a finger at someone? How about the feminists? The women who have worked hard for the last 50 years+ to purposefully destabilize society by attacking heterosexual marriage, promoting a deliberate blurring of gender roles, promoting same-gender marriage, promoting public policy that borderline promotes; promiscuity, abortions, teenage pregnancy, high school drop-outs, divorce, drug use and then wondering why all of the rest of society falls to garbage in the societies where they "succeed". A lot of good all this "Self-esteem" garbage has really done huh? Feminists have, systematically, done more to bring society to an all-time moral low than any other single factor in history! What more perfect way to push the blame of your own actions (feminists) then to blame the very group to which you claim grievance. Kinda sad when you consider the Nazi's used this same tactic, as do the contemporary Palestinians against the Jews in Israel.
Might it be that the nearly 30k studies that have concluded children (and society at large) do best with a father and mother figure in the home? When boys and girls learn their appropriate roles in society everyone does well, when marriage is weakened and students struggle between their home and school lives society struggles. This is a published, tried and again statistical fact. Marriage is the quintessential ingredient in all cultures of the world, institution and litmus test for society; the healthier (heterosexual) marriages are, the healthy society is, the less likely women or men are to be objectified or "abused". the better students do in school, the more productive workers are in professional fields, the more accomplishments society makes, etc, etc, etc. Marriage is the cornerstone of society and anytime it (socially) begins to fail the feminists aren't very far away (they usually sneak around corners and wait for their perceived opportunity to step out and cry oppression while seeking ways to direct oppress men and married women).
Grace to you, Glory to God!
Women have their own personal opinions and styles and do not even have to follow the media's trend.
And there is no such thing as a "War on Women." I am a women, i think i would realize if men was being sexist against me.
