Watch your clothes! This morning, I told myself that I would write today about photo retouching. If no photo was retouched fashion, would we be better in our skin? But a new I just learned about twitter via @ JocelyneRobert, throws me down! An Australian 23-year-old was acquitted of rape because the victim wore
skinny jeans .....
That such aberrations occur, remind me how equality between men and women is still not won. Personally, I see a link between this trial, body image and media.
Hypersexualization fashion I say and repeat, I'm not puritanical. Yet every day I am shocked by images of fashion in my present visual environment. Right now, two specific advertising irritate me in particular: Guess and Buffalo
.
To see these women played a female roles available and subjected to heat ... and around the city ... We start by far. At one time, it was daring to show the legs of a woman and now ... Have we gone too far? I think so.
And it has a particular vision of women in the collective consciousness. A woman's first sexual subject to man's desire and take pleasure to its position of submission.
I have absolutely nothing against sexy and daring fashion. Nothing against the idea that a woman wants to be at its best and show its advantages. That attitude bothers me. The fine line between femininity and assumed his seductive power versus the hyper woman's image that power is no longer in the hands of the latter.
Sex and the City For those who do not know me, I'm a big fan of Sex and the City.
For me, this show was the first that gave women the right to enjoy and want to have sex for pleasure. They are sometimes vulnerable, but no one ever feels the subject. Yet, they are sexy and provocative, but never vulgar or trashy. For me, this is a woman's sexuality much healthier than that displayed throughout the streets of Montreal and made sure that I would protect the eyes of my nieces face these degrading images of women.
No justice I return to the case mentioned in the intro to this post. How can a judge acquitted a man of rape because the victim was wearing skinny jeans? The skinny jeans are in vogue for some time and we have almost all, at least one pair in our closet. But in fact, the argument the judge was that he was the victim has withdrawn herself because her jeans are so tight. So, he completely ignored the fact that it can be done under the threat that her attacker may be strong enough to remove him or Apply more she may be wanted to batifoller with him without consent to be raped! Whatever type of clothing or the quantity of these on the body of a woman, it seems that nothing can justify a sexual act without consent.
This story is very worrying in terms of equality of men and women face justice. I console myself saying that this would never have happened Quebec ... at least I hope so ...
