How It Would Look If Men Posed The Way Female American Apparel Models Do

Debate has heated up in Sweden regarding American Apparel's sexualization of its female models.

The retailer's shock-tactic ads featuring naked women are certainly nothing new. But this week Swedish blogger Emelie Eriksson made headlines by juxtaposing male models' poses in unisex American Apparel Clothing with the R-rated images of women wearing the same shirts (often sans pants).

To show how American Apparel's double standard works, a small Swedish clothing company named byPM decided to do a photo shoot in which a man posed in the same positions as American Apparel's female models.

The relevance of the different ways the male and female models were posed shouldn't escape anyone in this group. Or, you know, feminists and their allies in general.

1. It didn't look like he was trying very hard.

I mean he hardly arched his back at all... Bwa ha ha.

AmApp has demonstrated clearly and repeatedly that no one with a conscience, or who wants to keep an intact soul, should purchase from them.

2. That seems to be the case almost every time men try this kind of thing.

The failure to put much effort into the pose, I mean.

It's... interesting.
