The acceptable face of middle aged women being attracted to minors.

[ph0b0s123]

Caught this Xmas ad for Argos (UK's biggest catalog store) yesterday. This is the equivalent of a Macy's or Kmart Xmas ad for American readers.

Relevant section 0.33 seconds in. So another confirmation of it being socially OK for middle aged women to fantasies about under 18 males, in the this case Bieber (17).

I know it has been said many times before, with a south park episode, twilight mums etc, but now it's made it to Xmas ads.

So one rule for men, one rule for women.

Note: This is not a thread about advocating being attracted to minors before anyone starts posting along those lines, I would rather avoid moderator attention. You have been warned. It is purely a thread to once again highlight the disparity of social acceptance.

Edit: Yes, age of consent in UK is 16, but remember like most other places depictions, even drawn of under 18's being sexual is punishable by at least inclusion on a register. So I think openly lusting after an under 18 year old is not exactly 100% OK. Certainly if you were male this would cause you problems in the current climate.

Why can't women have fantasies of 18 year old boys? They are of concenting age here in the states. Men do the same thing.

I don't really get the problem, people can fantasize about whatever the hell they want for all I care.

And besides, being a middle aged woman is depressing enough, give them a break!

Yes, men are also called bastards and perverts for it.

I don't see any middle aged women, just some aliens.

Except that men are considered creepy for doing it, despite it being legal.

Because men are all evil and only want to do perverse things to that poor, innocent 18-year-old girl, whereas a woman's love is genuine, and honest, and true, and pure...


Or some bullshit like that.

am i not watching this properly, who here is fantasizing about justin beiber? the alien daughter mentions him in a jokingly insulting way and thats it. really dont know what your taking offense with here.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Men are seen as more predatorial (if that's a word) and women are seen as more maternal in the eyes of society when it comes to interaction with the opposite sex. Even I'm guilty of these views.

There's not much else to say about it, I guess.

Yeah it really sucks being a man, having hollow insult thrown our way and running the world.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Yep double standard.

Being a UK ad it's also worth noting the age of consent is 16.

But yes, men are much more likely to be considered creepy... Women, not so much.

But that also plays into the more basic fact that women/girls are inherently thought of as being victims, and men/boys as being aggressors.

This means that a middle-aged woman benefits from this idea as long as the 'boy' she's perving on is old enough to vaguely resemble an adult.

The world runs itself. It's been running itself before Homo Sapiens popped up, really.

Bottom line is, a double measure is a double measure and there's no way in hell anyone should accept those.

 

[ShindoL Shill]

he's over 16, which is the UK age of consent.
and its a fucking joke.

 

[Pipotchi]

This, I was half expecting to see some middle aged cougar lusting after Bieber not a puppet alien making a Mm Bieber joke.

Besides legal age is 16 here so he's not a minor, she can fantasize about Justin Bieber while she romps with her Puppet alien husband all she wants for all I care, and the husband can do the same with an equivilent female version.
