Another nude sports figure pointlessly objectified on a magazine cover

62. do you extend that view about

consenting adults in commerce to Wal-Mart and McDonalds? How about out-sourcing and low wage labor abroad? They are consenting adults. Is it only commerce that bridges on sexuality that should be exempt from critique? Are you uncritical of capitalism and labor relations more generally, or is it only in commerce in bodies and images of bodies that is above reproach?

When we are talking about fashion magazines like Vogue, many are not in fact adults. Models begin as you as 10 or 12 and are made up to look like women.

Your idea that those images don't affect women more broadly is patently absurd. You may not care about the effects but reams of Social science literature establishes that they do. Companies would not spend millions on advertising if media had no influence. Dismissing the
extent to which our society values women based on looks denies what most women experience every day. I guarantee you the women and girls in
Your life are affected by those images.


Lastly, to continually cast the argument in terms of prudery not only misses point, it reveals disrespect for those who make the arguments you continually ignore.
