I’m appreciative but this is half-stepping

Very valid points made,but that is not our programming. Most of us have been programmed to view nudity as sexual.


But I guess your saying I am doing things in the wrong order. Your saying I need to stop viewing women who get half naked on social media as being sexual. Then I can begin to respect womens intelligence and talents,despite them being half or 3/4ths naked.

Making the leap to appreciate women for more than their sexuality is a good first step. Acknowledging that nudity isn't inherently sexual just allows you to do that more fully.

So no I wouldn't say you're doing things in the wrong order, but that there is a more integrative approach. If you ever thought Janelle Monae was intelligent, talented or had any respect for her, seeing her t*ts, especially in this context shouldn't short circuit your brain and all of a sudden seperate her from all of those qualities.

Despite the fact that I think she's absolutely gorgeous and dynamic, nothing about that video jumped out at me as something that was made with the intent to turn me on and even if it was, I don't have to sexualize or de-sexualize her to give my respect or consideration.

Sadly majority of the women on social media have very little proven talent or intelligence. Which is why they lead with sexuality,since theyve been programmed to think thats their worth.


Any fool can see this,which is why the women with intelligence and talent also have a responsibility to seperate themselves from the fold. My responsibility should be not lumping those women in with the hellhounds. By degrading them, by only seeing them from a sexualized perspective. But if all the responsibility has to be on my shoulders,so be it#TheChildOfMan:respect:

Oh, right on then lol :laugh:

I use to admire her for NOT showing off her body like so many women in the industry are pressured to do.

Welp. At least there's still Esperanza Spalding who kept her dignity intact.
