Degradation of Females

[Cavouku]

Sorry for the late reply, just wanted to say;

I applaud you for your independence, but it feels forced by a rebellion to pop culture. That which isn't popular shouldn't let you decide that you hate it. You can hate the Twilight fanbase, but you can also hate the characters, plot, writing, atmosphere, and pretentiousness, too!

The clothes thing; you made your point with that. With music, that's a choice. There's floods of crap out there, but you should give it a shot before you tune it out.

But, then again, seeing as you're coherent so far, I see no need for you to damage yourself with sampling the popular. Your system proves to work well.

EDIT: I like the popular Eminem. But my idol is the lesser known Scatman John.

You say I'm coherent but that's not really true. Only when I'm typing am I coherent. I have a speech impediment (usually, I can't find the words. I think them, but when it comes time to say them, they get caught and I stutter until they get out. I don't know if it counts as a true speech impediment, but my brother says it does.), and mild ADD, so my sentences start off something intelligible, and end a messy jumble of randomly strung together words. My mother and stepmother are worse though. Half the time my mother calls me by my brother's name, and doesn't even finish a sentence. My stepmother wanted her son to give her the TV remote and said, "Give me my piano!". As I typed that I started laughing. It's still funny.

Is Scatman John the one who does that I'm the Scatman! And then goes into a tangent of skippidy-boop-bah-random-gibberish on Youtube?

(Okay, this is what happened. I was wondering why I was quoted as asking that XP)

Not quite my meaning, I more so meant at least you don't delve into the underbelly of pop-culture crap. But ah well.

...Scatman John.

Took the words right outta my mouth, Cavouku, with the whole "rebel against X because it's considered cool" or "i dislike Y just to be different". If you genuinely dislike X or Y, good on you, but if you're just hating on it for the sake of everyone else liking it, please stop; it doesn't make you edgy or more worthy of being an individual, just a twat.

@GirlGamer: aside from the above, I agree with most of your points.

Also: fuck yeah, Scatman John.

I'm looking to turn this thread into Scatman's world before the mods start at me for not contributing much... Alright I got it.

Walt died, Disney became a corporate whore. I miss Lion King. Feminism needs a universally excepted definition before we do something about it, because I don't even think a lot of feminists agree.

You guys act like there isn't a billion videos of stupid guys jumping off things for no reason or fighting in their backyards

As for jumping off things go, that urban ninja video is pretty cool.

But, yes, there are a plethora of us males doing fairly retarded things.

that video is an inaccurate representation of how the media depicts women because "the media" consists of things that are "entertaining" or "watchable for a duration of at least 30 seconds". but as far as the actual sexism that people see in shows, movies, and advertisements, you can show me it's wrong by showing me a more respectful image of women that's more entertaining or makes more money than what i see today.

That's not sexist, that's just plain awesome.

That's nothing. I do that with the words where I know what I want to say but it gets tangled and I go to stock phrases like "It's really interesting" like one does during a French oral presentation in which they've forgotten their entire speech. My mother also called me my brother, then my dad, then my uncle, then my sister, and then I supplied her with my name. That, along with the 'give me the piano' kind of stuff is not a speech impediment or anything. It just happens from time to time.

Also, Scatman is God.

 

[Undercover]

What exactly is the point of this? Dopey whores have existed since we first left the trees.
Hell anyone who took part in the 80s automatically qualifies. The fashion... how could they ever have thought that was acceptable?
Anyway that is why you have the option to ignore that shit. You no like, you no watch. It could not be simpler. Stop focusing on the worthless gutter tramps and go find a woman of worth.

I only 'took part' in the 80's because I was born in the '70s. I still have nightmares about neon spandex... It's coming BACK. You do however make an EXTREMELY valid point, now where can I find this mythical 'Woman of Worth' exactly?

 

[iggyus]

...That chick has a stronger jawline than I do...

Are you sure they're not just dudes making ladies look bad?

EDIT: Okay, I watched 12 seconds.
That is all I could tolerate.

Swear to god.

I will agree with this. I cant stand these so called cool chicks, they make me sick

 

[Paradox11]

I maintain the belief that some people should be locked in small crates and sunk into ocean trenches.

 

[sov68n]

I watched almost one minute into that before promptly throwing up in my mouth a little.

 

[BrEnNo1023]

HAHAHAH... bodyklok i think you just HIT the nail right on the head there. you win the internet.

but seriously, in today's world, i'm totally unsurprised (but i'm disgusted nonetheless) that these two talentless idiots are contributing nothing to society but their own stupidity. i have nieces who are chronically obsessed with Miley Cyrus. it's all about the celebrity image now - she's popular enough that she doesn't need talent, she just needs a bunch of money, and Disney to keep promoting her to everybody and telling us that she's the epitomy of success. if she didn't look like she'd just emptied whole tubs of make-up onto her face, people wouldn't think she was pretty. so much for 'role model' - they're institutionalising idiocy.

"yo."
"yo-yo. yeah i said it twice" i'm so funny, laugh at me because i tell you to with my pretty face and my attractive expensive make-up and clothes. be like us, we're cool. mtv and disney say so.

 

[Dudemeister]

Why choose that video for a rant on femenism ?
I don't think there was anything particularly derogatory to women about it, maybe it was a bit stupid but it doesn't really relate to the issue of femenism at all.

This place will be Scatland by tomorrow morning.

Alright, contribution... Scatman? NO! Bad!

At the end of the day, assuming that this is the representation that people go for is offensive to people with a brain. I don't know how this relates to feminism, only teenage girls with a personality complex watch this crap on a regular basis anyways. And they move on to the next big thing by the afternoon.

Which is why we need to revive Scatman, his music, and his message, to today's youth. Long live Scatland.

Why so tentative? It's Olivia Munn.

As opposed to a larger forehead...?

 

[Silbena]

Hah. I'm just surprised people keep on blaming the MEDIA for making girls like that - it's the girls that make themselves like that, and the rest of the female race who decides to succumb to peer pressure and popular demands, or to whine about it and acknowledge its existence and therefore assure said existence will continue.

Seriously, whining is the worst thing you can do to a thing you hope won't be there later. Especially when it's a, mm, somewhat harmless trait of society (i.e. NOT killing someone with a hammer).

For example, some wittle giwls I know are forever complaining about how certain guys I know treat them for what they are - wittle giwls. Another person will not treat you in a manner you will not allow, simple as that. That's why I always get so pissed off about ANY AND ALL mentions about internet bullying...

ANYWAY. Let the girls strut around like the mindless chickens they are. That doesn't mean _WE_ have to - and all we need to do is to remind the society, every now and then, that we're the type they want.

... Seriously, who would want to spend the rest of their lives with any of those girls?
