But...what about women's role in policing all this? Have you ever heard girls mockery of a girl with bushy eyebrows? Or the censure a girl gets if she's too flirty or dresses in a revealing way?

Surely men would encourage girls to make themselves available - it's other girls who often disapprove of easy women.

Its OK everyone, I live not too far from Cultseeker. I'm on my way round to put a stop to this.

[feral chile]

Indeed. It's so ingrained that women do it themselves. They have become normalised by male will. It's breaking up of course.

No, I'm attacking sexism.

[ralph250]

thank god for that

then we can all get back to flirting, innuendo and talking about shagging

[Cultseeker]

mmm - you see I think that women's self image is dictated by other women. In practice at least - some of the ideology may be based on the male ideal of femininity, but if appearance was dictated by men, wouldn't women always wear skirts and fishnet stockings, and (according to every male preference I've ever heard expressed) go around without makeup?

[Cultseeker]

exactly...I went to sleep, woke up and the thread had turned into some preening guide...

[feral chile]

They wish to appear beautiful, yes?

[Cultseeker]

I think there's been a shift in the male perspective anyway, in that they now seem to see themselves as sex objects whereas in the past they didn't take care of their appearance nearly as much.

Nothing wrond with NIN... Went down to see them in Manchester a couple of years ago.. Amazing performance.

[greenfairy43]

It's not so much that. It's just that I have them on exceptionally loud.

No one asks them to be turned up. No one. Apart from the scary lady that is. My mother warned me about the likes of her.
