First off that is exactly what this thread is about. Second I asked you for your opinion on it in my first post to you. This thread is about male and I would suggest female objectification as well given the parallels and differences of between sexual objectification and empowerment when we look...

The most important thing to take from this is the fact that Jim's original arguement is that sexual objectification of men does happen, just in places where women are generally known to make stories. It's illogical to ignore that fact when talking about one part of our culture that typically...

The focus is clearly on the man as an object however. If I could post pictures I would, the man is even naked on some covers, and often not showing his face at all.

So no one wants to admit women sexualize men in genres they general produce in? That is sad and rather telling. Honestly the big problem here is that video games and scifi/fantasy is no longer just a niche ghetto, but has become popular, and more importantly profitable outside of its usual...

The video is accurate, sexualization does not occur of men in sci/fi and fantasy. But this is a incomplete assessment. As the sexualization of men for women DOES occur, just in women specific areas like the romance genre. The irony is that if you look at the romance genre and book covers and the...
