(57,760 posts)Really? So what did poor mankind do before the advent of the double glossy and photoshop? Here I thought there was a biological imperative to reproduce, but evidently I'm wrong. Now you tell me biology compels men to look at mass market, digitally altered images rather than perpetuating the species by copulating with the opposite sex. Truly fascinating. And to think all those homosexual men are eschewing nature for what? Love?
It really is quite remarkable how you've avoided learning any history whatsoever, so much so that you assume that your current ethos and media preference for the prepubescent form are somehow natural. As though beauty standards haven't changed at all, as though men by biological imperative are destined to fixate on exactly what corporate capitalism tells them they should. Just think that equal opportunity law, as founded in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, flies in the face of biology. The idea that the chronically insecure cannot create a hostile environment designed to drive women from public spaces is what. . . .hopelessly doomed because men can't possibly be expected to avoid their biological imperative to litter the workplace with girly mags?
You have no concept what concerns me. Believe me, there is little I care about less than what you and guys like the man who compares himself to apes look at. You think far too highly of yourself to imagine I care even the slightest about your preferences or that you somehow speak for all men. Clearly you do not.
I reject your argument, not because of "prejudice," "emotional need" or "irrationality," but because I'm not a complete imbecile.
