sccsux Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 The advantage that Playboy has is that they have rebranded themselves post-60s, but the company still makes pornography under a different name. And?? Or are you saying that a company/business should be limited to one line of business? Which one should EMI choose then, music and films, or guidance systems for missiles?

sccsux Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 If it was a firework that was marketted at children, then I'd blame the company too. Yes. So you won't answer a simple question. I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireworks are usually bought for children's enjoyment (I''ve only ever bought them for the kids to enjoy). Which means they are primarily marketed at/for children (we used to have hand-held one's as kids - which were most definately marketed to that group).

TJC1 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 In conclusion it appears that feminists think women should be able to act in any legal way they wish in sexual terms. Feminists object to establishments where women are allowed to do this. Men are condemned IF they react because of the behaviour of some women. We should not judge women for their behaviour. No, feminists don't think that. I'm not pro-feminist and even I know that, this is getting dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJC1 Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 And I'm asking you for evidence to back up your claims, yet again you haven't provided any. Yet again you repeat your assertion that strip clubs cause harassment with no evidence to support your assertion. It doesn't matter how often you repeat something that doesn't magically make it so. Freedom in general is essential for emancipation in general, this includes the freedom to operate strip bars and to strip in strip bars. Actually it does prove something it proves that the situation is rather more complicated than your repeated baseless assertions allow for. You can try to twist and dodge all you like that doesn't change the fact that the worst societies to be a woman in are those which amongst other things forbid pretty much any images of women. Whereas the best societies to be a woman in have no shortage of images of women and the proliferation of such images seems to have coincided with improvements in the lives of women. It makes little difference if your hostility to the sex industry is motivated by radical feminism or by you simply being a reactionary prig, you've still yet to produce the slightest evidence to substantiate your claims. I'll leave it at this cos youve obviously got far too much time on your hands. You either think dressing up as a bunny for the pleasure of men is degrading to women or you don't. I happen to think it is. Just because you like looking at these things still makes it degrading to women. And that was the point- I'll leave it there.

RootsBooster Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'll stand by it. Playboy makes pornography and mainstream items. Bedspreads, slippers, socks, car seat covers, energy drinks. A mass of pink glittery tat. Would you be happy with children wearing 'Hustler' pyjamas? The advantage that Playboy has is that they have rebranded themselves post-60s, but the company still makes pornography under a different name. I think it is Spice, but I may be wrong. It's clever marketting, but the protest still had a point. Making merchandise that parents can CHOOSE to buy for their kids is somewhat different to grooming little girls. I wouldn't CHOOSE to buy my kid Hustler pyjamas, that's the whole point you seem to be missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't CHOOSE to buy my kid Hustler pyjamas, that's the whole point you seem to be missing. But you wouldn't mind Hustler marketing revealing nighties for prepubescent girls - that would be ok? It is a free world after all, and no-one is being forced to buy them. Makes you wonder why this government doesn't allow alcohol to be marketed to children - surely it's up to the parents to choose?

A mass of pink glittery tat. I've just had a quick google of Playboy merchandise but couldn't find any aimed at kids. Now, I'm not saying there ISN'T any, but can you just give me a link so I can have a look for myself please? The advantage that Playboy has is that they have rebranded themselves post-60s, but the company still makes pornography under a different name. I think it is Spice, but I may be wrong. It's clever marketting, but the protest still had a point. Does anyone protest outside film studios against them making horror/slasher/action films glorifying butchery, torture and murder, because they also make children's films?
