Its a bit disturbing to feel out how many people seem to not even acknowledge the idea that feminism is detrimental to society.
Its like the idea that its possible is not even on your radar which is quite appalling to consider the chaotic irresponsibility of it all.0 -
Why would you want either burger? They look cheap, cheesy and greasy.
Why eat them when you can have a tuna roll?
I told my husband I was craving something cheesy and greasy just the other day. He offered to coat himself in Crisco. Not what I had in mind, but it certainly satisfied my cravings....:bigsmile: :blushing:
Okay. Now that would trump a burger.0 -

Because tuna doesn't taste like a burger. It tastes like fish. :sick:
I see what you did there!

Uhh first problem is that this isn't parodying feminism. Feminism is the strive for gender equality in society today. This seems to be a parody of the body acceptance movement.
Exactly. Most feminists I've met hate those "when did this become sexier than this" type posts. Feminism is entirely about body love no matter what you look like.0 -
How did this go from feminism to gay bashing?
Either way...op....Stuff like this doesn't bother me. I could care less what society's standards are when it comes to the "perfect" body. As for feminism, I don't see the connection. Yes, I get the parallel with body image, however I don't think it's anything for women to get their backs up over.
Im glad to finally see some reasonable responses from some of the women.
Beyond what you (and others) just mentioned about the parallel with body image is that the burgers also have a multi layered meaning such as (as opposed to the "when did this become hot" pics) the very notion of the whole concept is you shouldn't be focused on something that destroys you and your family in the first place.
The burger destroys you.
You are fighting for the comfortable indulgence of your self centered pleasure at the expense of destruction, (whether you realize it or not, it is a sociological byproduct of the feminist agenda) and the balance of relationships, tolerance, family, and the well being of society and the family unit.
Furthermore there is more allegory: in that the person is so focused on the self, they are missing the whole point of marketing basics and logistical logic of aesthetics, because they are so sick, and they need to control the whole universe around them to, to break it, at the whim of their 1st world entitlement just to feel comfortable in their addiction. To feed in peace, on their self centered cravings. To feed their insecurities in peace.
The ridiculousness of asking businesses to change effective marketing tactics just so you don't feel bad becomes more comical when you replace people with inconsequential burgers. And the burgers representing a manifestation of the self destruction of insecurity.
Beyond that there is even more allegory...
... every time you post... you make LESS sense. i'm not sure you really know what you're trying to say.
Yikes...I was thinking the same thing. My point was that it's not worth my time to care about what some stupid ad is trying to say. The burger doesn't destroy anything. The fact that someone could get so caught up in trying to analyze this ad is what is destructive.
This.

yes... yes indeed.
us weak females need you big strong manly men to protect us and save us and kill our spiders. but only if you are ripped and have sexy bodies. Because that is the only way we can know that you are happy and fulfilled.
no really... I DO need someone to kill my spiders.
All funning aside... I like being strong, powerful, self-sufficient.. because then I can pick the man I want to be with for the man he is, and not for what he can provide for me. I am with who I am with because I WANT to be. Not because I HAVE to be.
Maybe that is what scares the OP.0 -

I thought it was a little funny as a parody of the body acceptance movement. I didn't really connect it with feminism.
As for the Body Acceptance movement itself, I think it great for people of all weights to love themselves, love their bodies, and I think people *can* be attractive even if they are overweight.
However, I've seen versions of this "since when did this become more attractive than this" meme where the one of the women was so obese it posed a very real health risk, and where the other woman looked healthy and attractive. I see that and think, "umm healthy's always been more attractive than lard-butt".
I've also seen versions of it where the "heavy" woman didn't really look heavy to me. She looked like she had decent curves, you know boobs, hips... but not fat by any means, and the "thin" woman looked like a walking skeleton. To these I sit back and think, "Ummm.... skeletor is not now, and never has been, more attractive than healthy."
So, I guess my take on it is that healthy is more attractive than any unhealthy extreme.
I think women should love their bodies and themselves and appreciate the positives about their appearance no matter what their weight, but I think if a woman is serious over- or under-weight, she should be working on remedying that situation for her own health, not so some other person finds her more attractive.
As for the burgers, squished burgers that look several hours old have never been more attractive than plump fresh ones.0 -

With strong hot ladies like you out there who needs a man?!? Seriously. I'm sure there is tons of viable sperm in sperm banks that we can use if we want to have babies.0 -
I'm really hoping the OP has a vagina hidden under all those abs. I'd be more willing to consider the topic. And yes, I consider the source to be significant to the point of an argument.0

Mmmmm...burgers.
Any bacon on them there burgers???:laugh:0 -
I believe in feminism but that doesn't mean that I expect to be treated better than a man, or to be above men. It just means that I expect equal respect for the work put it. I can carry more than most the guys I work with. I'm not a body builder but I'm built like an amazon (albeit an obese one). I don't expect men to do things for me, I don't expect people to pay for me. My boyfriend likes paying for when we go out but if the tab is too high I split it and it's equal because I make him dinner or bring him leftovers. Give and take. I don't expect a promotion because I am a woman, I expect it because I work hard. I don't expect a good life because I have boobs and a vagina, I improve my life by working 75 hours a week for two full time jobs while working out, trying to eat better, and going back to school.Its a bit disturbing to feel out how many people seem to not even acknowledge the idea that feminism is detrimental to society.

I think you're pointing right at the issue without realizing it.
That hamburger is an object. It is one dimensional.
Women are subjects. When you compare the images in the media with images of real women, you're treating them as objects or one-dimensional things. The thing that makes the "real woman" beautiful isn't that she's more aesthetically pleasing, it's that she's not an object. The "real woman" is a subject with a multi-dimesional personality and life. Her looks reflect the life she's lived and her experiences.
The hamburger exists for your pleasure and enjoyment. The woman belongs to herself and her appearance is not for you.
