crumpets -> RE: Someone please explain to me what women are thinking (2/1/2016 8:52:42 AM)

This is a thread about what people say versus what they do, and how they rationalize differences. quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 Agreed. It's also completely disingenous how he phrases his "questions". Or clueless. In no example that has been made were any of these women saying one thing and doing another. Thank you for bringing this point up, that you feel that I'm being disingenuous in the way I asked the question soliciting your input. The topic is a discussion opened to better understand the connection between what people say versus what they actually do, with respect to clothing choices. Since it's an open discussion, people will provide their opinion on WHETHER that observation is even true in the first place, and, if it's true, WHY it's true (specifically, what's the thought process involved). I do agree with you that my phraseology appears to be prejudged in that I'm implying that many women say one thing and yet, they actually do quite another (particularly, IMHO, the younger woman and not so much the more mature women). You're welcome to disagree with either of the key points, which are, fundamentally, if we expand it to "people" and not just "women" (as per a previous poster who brought up male chest displays): With respect to clothing choices and sexual objectification ... Do people (men and women) say one thing, yet do something quite the contrary? If so, what is THEIR thought process that allows that rationalizes that dichotomy? quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 Unless a woman has a pea sized brain, she is totally aware of what she wearing and the desired affect. I would fully and completely agree with you that people know at all times exactly what they're doing with respect to what they're wearing, and the perceived effect on others (however, I believe some people here will certainly beg to disagree with you on this important point). So, while it's clear to me that people know EXACTLY what effect they intend by the clothing they wear, there is not going to be a universal agreement on this important point among all of us. Many will say that people are, actually, clueless, or careless, of the effect of what they wear, which, if that's actually the case, it would go a long way toward explaining the apparent dichotomy of what people say, versus what they do. So, it's a very important point which is fundamental to an understanding of the issue! quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 It's also ridiculous to compare highly trained Olympic athletes with cheerleaders and Hooters servers. The female athletes wear what is most helpful in achieving a goal (speed, etc.). Hooters do it to entertain men and get bigger tips. While I completely disagree with you on why the trained Olympic athletes wear what they wear (which I proposed to show with the pictures showing the track and field athletes and my depiction of wresting garb), I do fully and emphatically agree with you on why the Hooters waitresses wear what they wear. Bearing in mind this is not a discussion only about WHAT people wear (that would be boring and wouldn't get us anywhere). No. This is a discussion about what they DO versus what they SAY. I don't have any interviews of women athletes to compare with to discern what those women say versus what they do. But, I did provide the interviews with the Hooters' waitresses, where, anyone intelligently discerning who reads the Hooters interviews in the business review would certainly notice the apparent cluelessness (should we call it hypocrisy?) of the women interviewed. Are we wrong about Hooters? Or are these women simply innocent, or naive, or, just maybe misled about what they're wearing and what they say in those interviews? How do we rectify the THOUGHT process of the women who seemed so innocent in those interviews with the fact that even the name alone, of Hooters or Twin Peaks, are obvious and blatant euphemisms for the objectification of breasts? quote:
ORIGINAL: sexyred1 Everyone concerned is clear on these points, except the OP. There is no hypocrisy in any of these examples. I think there is clear hypocrisy. I tried to portray the seeming hypocrisy as clearly as I could. When you read those interviews with the Hooters waitresses, did you not detect any hint of hypocrisy? When you see how a football player dresses versus how the cheerleader dresses, do you not see any hint of hypocrisy? When a wrestler or a track and fielder can cover their body far better than others in similar conditions, do you not see the hypocrisy? Those pictures were chosen to DISPLAY graphically the hypocrisy. So, I am curious how and why that display failed to impact you in any meaningful way? Since this is a thread about what people say versus what they do, and how they rationalize differences, I would be curious to know more why you see no hypocrisy where I seem to see it clearly in (some) people's words and actions.
