The female as a sexual object in male-oriented cinema

Well yes, cinema is mostly mail oriented, although I cant, say that we, women, don't have enough choice to find mail specimen that fits our taste n the silver screen. Maybe the point is that women don't need to see (in majority of scenes at least) somebody's ass to find that person (or movie) attractive.

Certainly when you go to the cinema you can see many half- nude women whose sole purpose within certain movie is o attract more audience (meaning more cash), but since you can see such images all around you, advertising all possible things from cars to food or children's toys it raises the question are the movies any exception in use of women as a sexual objects. Also in the similar ads intended to attract female audience you can gaze upon naked torsos (or more) of some gorgeous man, as well s you can see their pumped-up bodies on the movie screen. I do think that in 21. century there is an issue with use of sexuality as means for selling some movie or anything else, bat that any more isn't question only about female sexuality. Both sexes are in fact equally degraded because of our modern, superficial way of life and low level of culture.

But if it is so you might ask why are man so quiet when it comes to the issue about mall-use of theirs sexuality.

The (naked) truth is that man and women are indeed different beings and that they don't perceive sexuality in the same way (among many other things).
So, what I am trying to say is that problem isn't only that there are too many females posing as a sexual objects, not more than man do it anyway, it is just that point of view of sexuality differs greatly between sexes. The problem is that we actually are letting it exist, we are the ones that by those movie thickets or other products, we are the ones on whose sexual response (conscious or subconscious) they are playing with.

Our own view of life degrades boat sexes, in the movie scenes and behind them, thus degrading our understanding of beauty, self-respect, intelligence and privacy.

BUT

Hey, there is a movie with a gorgeous hunk (or babe) playing in it in the cinema just around corner, I'm gong to watch it, wouldn't you? Honestly?
