Depending on the kind of chivalry. If it's the chivalry with women being equals, then it's fine. If it's chivalry with "women HAVE TO STAY AT HOME BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE TOO DELICATE TO DO ANYTHING," then it's not.
I'm just angry with certain who portray themselves as Feminist when they AREN'T.
Well, in ways...I guess I'm just not okay with either women or men selling themselves to get an advantage (just my own perspective, though). Straight world or not, prostitutes (male or female) are a big affront to me in ways, since both gender prostitutes get to earn a much more comfortable living without having to work at all while many men AND women end up fighting harshly the hard and more productive way on living and contributing to society. But, you're right in a sense. Males should be held up to standard the same way as females. Both should learn to become the best they can be without resorting to the lowest, easiest way out
( ... )
If you’re going to get mad at female pop stars, get mad at them for keeping their mouths shut about women’s issues, not for prostituting themselves.
I'm mad at them for doing both, actually, the latter which actually exacerbates the situation greatly. Whatever you think, sex work is an easy way out for both men and women, and is another aspect that Patriarchal ideals can be supported. The stupidity of the patriarchal society is that it believes all things must be set in stone, and the fact that we will refuse to change our behavior and continue to let certain guys (I refuse to call these people men, because they aren't worthy) see us as objects instead of people. The problem in prostitution lies in the fact that it allows people to have an excuse to see people as objects instead of people, and allows no room for the worker to truly find a way to live with alternatives or choice.
Last, but not least...what I am complaining about the most is the fact that these people (Miley Cyrus and Paris Hilton) are claiming themselves as "ultimate feminists". Such is misleading, hurts the women in the world who actually are feminists and makes my blood boil over plasma.
Calling themselves virgins and actually portraying a positive perspective of oneself out to the public are two different things. Anyone could call himself/herself a virgin, and I could care less if he/she became a Gold Digger.
But, back to my point: supporting both genders allowing themselves to support the idea of sexual objectifying is only a form of exacerbation on the part of feminism. Sexuality can be in any form, that I agree, but objectifying anyone is absolutely downright grotesque and should never be allowed. If women (and men) continue at the rate you are proposing, then we might as well go for a Brave New World type dystopia where all men and women can sleep with each other as much as they wish (and get high on soma so we will all have exactly the same mindset).
But seriously, I wish I was capable of debating more coherently like in this post. I tend to get lost in my thought and it's SO FRUSTRATING. But this is brilliant work. :)
Actually, I find your arguments more to the point than mine. ^^; Women do have the right to present themselves in their own ways, but they do have to keep in mind of how they present themselves. Same with men, and you are so darn right about women being more often revealing themselves on the red carpet than men...it's kinda saddening.
I guess...I was just downright frustrated with what human traffickers and so forth do and what the women who support those people do when they claim to be "feminists". That was why I wrote this post. However, in ways, the other girl here does have a point. I shouldn't judge based on sexuality, either.
It's just when human traffickers (including, and especially the Camorrista ones) say they are not violating anything bad that gets to me. And especially when some women support them and think themselves right and "feminists"(Camorra women or most women in Naples who support the Camorra).
