women's bodies

I hate the self-righteous manners in which people claim their "rights" over women's bodies. Women's bodies have been made into public property whereby people (both men and women) think they can claim ownership over them by dissing or sexualizing them. When rapes happen, people look at how a woman dresses. Flip through a magazine, watch a movie or tv ad, you'll most likely see hyper-sexualized women. They're so sexy - they doesn't even look real anymore. Plastic sex on humans.

If a sex video or naked pictures of women leak out, women always get the flak and are gossiped about as "loose", "slut" and a whole bunch of derogatory terms. There is no equivalent of those terms for men. A man's reputation is barely dented, compared to that of a woman's, if his naked pictures or sex videos get out.

See a woman in a bikini - and a bunch of self-righteous people (who are most likely women - ironic, isn't it) question her morals. What is this obsession with women's bodies? Why are women's bodies equated to her morality? There is no such equation with men, so why women? Personally, I am sick of such shallow people who think they can judge women just based on the way they dress up their physical body. A body is just flesh - the real person lies within that body. People who can make such judgments reflect their inner person, showing just how "high" their morality is.

Women's sexuality have been controlled and manipulated for far too long. I for one, am very tired of it and wish that everyone would just grow up.
