A most reasonable opinion, in my opinion

Choosing to be objectified as a Sports Illustrated model is progress.
The ability to decide to use your body, image or likeness in any way you choose, for whatever compensation you would like, is progressive. The annual freak out over the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue is such a waste of energy and time.
Seriously, women who want to do this should, without judgment. If they want to "exploit" themselves, who are we to judge? Men who want to enjoy this type of "photographic" art should be free to pay their money and do so without judgment. Again, who are we to judge.
Let's let those who choose to live in the model/fantasy world just go about their business without the NSA/right wing style finger pointing. Isn't tolerance for all personal behavior that does not harm others a righteous goal?
Are swimsuits, body paint, an occasional nipple glimpse on a wet body worth getting upset about?
We live in a 1 click world that gets us video sex anywhere, anytime on any device for anybody. Are we really going to have indignation at bikinis in 2014?
Yes, a reasonable opinion, but it still sparks outrage from one of the more strident outrage-mongers:seabeyond (92,279 posts)
4. SI isn't the issue. Girls willingly objectifying yhemselves, you looking at porn is not the issue.
This is a progressive board. Women and feminists are a large part of the party. The issue is not creating a hostile , sexist environment that women are expected to participate in to be a part of a democratic progressive board. That is the issue.
No, here is the issue. There are people among you who never have and never will be attractive enough to attract attention the way the people who grace the covers of SI do.
They are consumed with a jealousy that can only be imagined by most of us.
They raise their sons to be 'girly men', and think it is the norm.
They take a magazine issue that is designed, successfully, to generate sales for that magazine and heap upon it all the venom they can muster. These are the same outrage-mongers who heaped scorn on another magazine that named the Pope as their 'person of the year', a selection aimed at generating controversy and its accompanying increased sales. It was a sales gimmick that works, and yet it outrages the DUmmies every time.
Let it go and the issue will fade into obscurity. Keep the shrill harpie-esque whining at a fever pitch, and more magazines will be sold.

You stupid scrunt. Just put the threads on ignore and you'll never see them again. Now go make some sandwiches. Men are hungry and food is all they would want from you.

The DUmmy beyond the sea proves, once again, that so-called progressives are actually authoritarian collectivists.

Nobody expects you to read or comment on threads, DUmmy. You choose to.
If you don't like threads about the swimsuit issue, or porn, or whatever, don't click on them. It's that simple.
That is all.

I think it's safe to say nobody wants you to participate in bikini shoots or anything relating to sex.
In fact, we would prefer you remove yourself from our company as much as possible and go your own way.
Happy now?

= "All threads on Teh DU MUST make Seabeyond happy and she WILL post objections in them and alert on the OP if they don't."
Typical moonbat controlling bitch. Try just staying out of threads you don't like, skank, it's what people who can exercise free choice and respect the free speech of others do...of course you're a Pigressive, so both of those things are outside your frame of reference.

It's easy to get the feminazis all in a snit.
They are programed to read sexist into everything, like many see everything as being racist.

Sorry,I have not met a normal person yet that does not desire to be found attractive or God forbid objectified by a member of the opposite sex.

"peter out by itself"??
More outrageous sexism! Alert! Alert!

The female DUmbasses hate the SI Swimsuit issue due to jealousy, not some fake outrage because of women being exploited. They're jealous of the fact that they will never be attractive enough to be in it themselves.

Ain't these the same people that want to legalize "sex workers"?

They are always envious of others. If they were not so consumed by anger, they would be more attractive.

Except for Warpy and cali.

Human life would end, because these harridans would eliminate all men in their thirst to make a perfect society.

I'll bet the idiots would be "poutraged" about this:

Chicks on the right had a good picture for that.

That took all day, but it was finally found.
Missing an opportunity like that with the DUmmies is why I miss posting in DU, especially in the gNads and seabeyond threads.

This explains why the Hildabeast in a pantsuit is so popular.
The expected reappearance of the PUMA group will liven up the place.
