Are Women Coerced to be Sexual Objects? Part 1: Well, yeah!
Most importantly, women are beautiful (oh yeah!). As a healthy heterosexual male I realize I’m inherently programmed to like all aspects of a woman’s physique. Again, women are beautiful! However, I don’t like being manipulated to direct my attention to a woman’s “sexuality” when “sex” has absolutely nothing to do with: (1) my immediate interest; or (2) the specific topic or issue being presented has absolutely nothing to do with sex. The overwhelming majority of men are respectful of women, they (we) don’t want or need to constantly be sexually teased or manipulated; and without regard to the #METOO movement, the overwhelming majority of men are not convicted felons, or currently incarcerated, or awaiting trial for allegedly engaging in sexual harassment and/or acts of sexual perversion against women (and children); and the overwhelming majority of men have always been able to decide the appropriateness of when and where to get an erection. Are women being coerced or forced into wearing clothing that intentionally promotes their sexuality?
Of course, there’s a big difference between acceptable fashion in “Hollywood,” which is designed to intentionally grab attention and/or challenge moral standards versus acceptable fashion in mainstream (working class) America; and yes, fashion and cultural values do change. Nevertheless, why is there a need to show so much skin to the general public,which includes showing so much skin to children? Why? Why? Why?

ITS ALWAYS DEEP CLEAVAGE OR PHAT ASS
Unlike Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Doris Day and so many other smart and very talented women, JLO will never be remembered for her "outstanding" vocal ability - because she doesn't have an outstanding vocal ability. However, JLO's clearly built a career defined primarily by her flashy clothing, deep cleavage, and her phat ass!
Male athletes in track & field wear compression singlets and compression shorts that cover the entire thigh.
Conversely, why is the bikini ("underwear") the "default uniform" for female athletes in track & field?
ARE WOMEN BEING COERCED TO DRESS LIKE THIS?
TO CONSTANTLY FIDGET WITH THEIR BUTT CRACK?
So, men (and women) are supposed to ignore women constantly and publicly pulling and tugging and fidgeting at clingy clothing stuck in their butt-crack and vagina, right? Given ongoing concerns about the lack of positive role models for girls and young women, and the need to educate boys and young men NOT to perceive women as only “sexual objects,” shouldn't women give more thought before wearing clothing fixated to showcase, to direct attention to a woman's tits, ass, and vagina? Well??
So why does the NCAA and USATF knowingly
allow and promote the sexual exploitation of women?
That's right, as represented by the above photo, one of the joys of technology is being able to blow-up a skinny woman's ass to more effectively objectify women.
QUESTION: So,
why do so many women wear tattoos above their butt cracks, wear blouses with deep, deep cleavage going all the way down to or below their navel, while also wearing skimpy and clingy bikinis, panties, or skirts that seemingly raise a woman’s ass up to her neck?
RESPONSE: Because with some womens athletic events, there are actually two sports: (1) the game itself, which is not really all that important; and (2) the sexual objectification of women, which has much greater importance (and advertiser support). For example, as pictured at right and below, volleyball (both indoor and beach volleyball) primarily exists as spectator sports to objectify women. Let's face it, it's every lusty man's dream to watch a woman reach for her curvaceous ass crack, and well . . . you know, dig deep into it pull at it . . . and, oh yeah, this is getting kinda creepy right. Again, shouldn't women give more thought before wearing clothing fixated to showcase, to direct attention to a woman's tits, ass, and vagina? Well??
Conversely, women and men who play high school, collegiate, and professional basketball do not wear clothing intentionally designed to showcase . . . sexuality.
Volleyball = The overtly intentional sexual objectification of women?
If not, how come men aren't required to be as
"comfortable" as women and wear speedos? How come??
LEGENDS FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOUNDED IN 2009 AS

True, some men allow themselves to be manipulated and “victimized” by an inherent “weakness” programmed into the male DNA. For both women and men, the eternal battle between intellect (reason) and instinct (sexuality) is . . . confounding, a perpetual challenge beset with a wealth of conflicting social, political, and religious dogma.
There was a time when “fashions” worn by women, such as during Hollywood's “Golden Age” (1930s to 1950s) were typically classy, attractive, even sexy, but very professional. Now, don't think I'm a prude about sex, or that I'm pushing for women to wear a hijab like many Muslim women. If you've heard the joke about selling a bikini to an Eskimo, then you definitely know that wardrobe functionality is better than a wardrobe fiasco; and class is better than trash.
Looking at Felix you see an athlete who's obviously a woman; but looking at Hastings you see the "sexuality" of a woman, and oh yeah, she's also an athlete!Of course, let's acknowledge the aforementioned observation is all about "perception." But, don't you think the apparel worn by Sanya Richards-Ross below is more, "I'm about the business of being a serious athlete," than to wear a two-piece bikini that's not designed for comfort, but is designed to showcase and prompt a woman to constantly touch herself to re-adjust the fit of her sparce clothing from pinching her breasts, anus, clitoris, and vagina?
But now, we live in a free-fall era where up is down and down is up; where some professional women who work in front of a television camera (below) present an appropriately conservative persona, where a man should make “eye-to-eye contact only," and where men are supposed to keep “it" in their pants . . . but where
this same woman will also publicly present herself totally naked in a legendary adult mens magazine. Again, the eternal battle between intellect (reason) and instinct (sexuality) is . . . confounding.

THE CONUNDRUM CONTINUES Are women being coerced to be sexual objects? Wearing a bright yellow, full-body, form-fitting dress is not sexual, right?
Frankly, except for Gayle King, most of the on-air female talent at CBS News are not obese, and most dress in a professional, non-sexual manner, such as Norah O'Donnell . . .
such as . . .
Adriana Diaz
Anne-Marie Green
Catherine Herridge
Dana Jacobson
Elaine-Quijano
Jamie Yuccas
Jan Crawford
Jane Pauley
Jericka Duncan
Lesley Stahl
Nikole Killion
Weijia Jiang
So, why does Gayle King dress like this . . .
So, except for Gayle King, the majority of on-air women at CBS News do not dress to be "objectified" or as sexual objects.
QUESTION: Does Gayle King have a subliminal desire (her dream, "I want it bad") to front-around like a sexy model?
ANSWER: Yes.
Surely, you've seen this movie before," i.e., Oprah, Star Jones, Sherri Shepherd, Wendy Williams, etc. Nevertheless, let's celebrate King lost a few pounds, at least enough to get into a sculptured swim suit. Unfortunately, just like Oprah, King, who has frequently touted her big-body 5'10" height as her asset, has never demonstrated the discipline and commitment to maintain her "asset." In fact, King's attempt to be "sexually relevant" only establishes her as rather "late to the attractive and desirable party," given by many of her age-group celebrity peers such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Gladys Knight, Christie Brinkley, Angela Bassett, Demi Moore, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Viola Davis, Beverly Johnson, Iman, etc.
Simply put, Gayle King"knows" she's a well-paid "public figure" and perceived as a "role model" to many people, especially Black women and girls.
So, showcasing her obesity, showcasing the cellulite on her thighs and arms, and the bulge about her waist is not an accident.
Absent a history of discipline and commitment, King's "presentation" is rather deceitful, given her wigs, the stomach roll, the cellulite, etc. However, understandably, as with many celebrities, King must present an "image" (via heavy make-up, wigs, cosmetic surgery, tailored clothing, shoe lifts, etc.) to ensure and maintain her "commercial marketability." Yada, yada, yada. Gayle King should thank me for previously informing her and CBS of this editorial via email and certified mail.
Again, why is there a need to show so much skin? Is there a requirement, and under what or who's authority, for women to "hint at" or to show varying degrees of cleavage? Are women coerced to wear plunging necklines? Are women coerced to wear tight-fitting, clingy, and curvaceous upper-body garments?
"Hint at" or show varying
degrees of cleavage
Tight-fitting, clingy, and curvaceous
upper-body garments
In other cultures and nations, are "newswomen" coerced to wear tight-fitting,
clingy, and very curvaceous garments that showcase the upper-body and lower-body?
Korea
South Korean news anchor, Lim Hyeon-ju, challenged her country's beauty norms by appearing on air with glasses. Lim Hyeon-ju used to wear contact lenses and false lashes every day after waking up at 2:40 a.m. for an early morning shift. She made the change after her eyes became too dry and it was tough for her to focus. While male anchors often wear glasses on air, this was the first time a female presenter for a major TV network had done so.
So, are women coerced to be sexual objects? Well? Well?

Bereft of being coerced, and just like Gayle King, Brooks Nader's ultimate desire is to be "sexually relevant."
Do you really, really, really think Serena Williams was coerced to wear
a peek-at-my boobs dress to be "sexually relevant."
Do you really, really, really think
Williams was forced to dress like this?
Do you really, really, really think Serena Williams was forced to "undress" like this?
Or, maybe, just maybe, Serena Williams is a
hot to trot exhibitionist looking to get her freak on?
Are Women Coerced to be Sexual Objects? Part 1: Well, hell no!
Class or trash?

Women who wear provocative clothing are not "asking for it (to be fu_ _ ed), and frankly, it doesn't matter if men know the difference. Do some women intentionally use their "sexuality" (fu_ _king skills) to move up the corporate ladder? Absolutely; as do some men! Looking beyond the provacative clothing worn by music celebrities and Hollywood starlets, we can easily find "working class" women who are also scantily-clad with their boobs visibly flopping back and forth and up and down, and butt-cheeks jiggling, twerking, and bouncing left and right and up and down, and often without any undergarments.
Given the aforementioned, it seems a contradiction not to complain about the pseudo-sexual tactics some women (and men) use to obtain favor from men only for these same women (and men) to subsequently complain about the sexual behavior of Kevin Spacey, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and dozens of other men for doing . . . whatever, or for going . . . too far. Again, the overwhelming majority of men are not convicted felons, or currently incarcerated, or awaiting trial for allegedly engaging in sexual harassment and/or acts of sexual perversion against women (and children), and have always been able to decide the appropriateness of when and where to get an erection.Therefore:
QUESTION 1: Since the overwhelming majority of men have always been able to decide the appropriateness of when and where to get an erection, are women aware they are being coerced or forced into wearing clothing that intentionally promotes their sexuality to strategically attract the attention of men who have a history of or who are most likely to engage in sexual harassment and/or acts of sexual perversion against women?
QUESTION 2: Without regard to their safety including the possibility of death, do some women intentionally use their sexuality as a weapon to strategically manipulate any man to their favor, to command attention?
Hum, are women coerced to present themselves as sexual objects?
Hum, look what she's wearing versus what he's wearing. So, are women coerced to present themselves as sexual objects?
"You're wrong, I'm not presenting myself as a sexual object! Stop looking at my nipples, tits, and ass. Don't I look cute?"
So, are women coerced to be sexual objects? Here's what James Brown said:
'Cause a woman got to use what she got to get just what she wants - hey!
Given the existing "standard of near-nakedness," eventually "nakedness" should or will become the standard "non-uniform" for women.
