Exactly what it says in the title. A lot of women want to be seen as beautiful and be in the spotlight but what they don't realize is that being on that pedestal means that in a lot of ways they will be oppressed or sexually objectified.

The biggest instance of this pertains to music videos when a certain demographic of women complains that they aren't being represented in the music videos yet at the same time they will get upset when they are in the music video because they feel it is objectifying them. That's the oppressive side of being placed on the pedestal.

Ultimately, you can't have one without the other. If you could choose one to be which you you rather be?

Revered, respected and seen as the mother of the Earth, while not being desired in the oversexed light?

Or seen as a beautiful trophy and the reason men do everything they do, while not being respected?

Be a sex symbol, not a sex object.

when they younger and free they want to be desired and lust after

then they hit 30's and 40's and there time in the limelight is gone. that's when they want to be respected cause that desired sh!t is long gone especially with her having kids and dudes ain't desiring them no more unless she throwing the puzzy out the door.

you fail to realize that a woman can be both respected and desired. Low prices attract many customers but high prices attract way more customers and there is actually quality in most of these customers. Who wouldn't want a lambo? But who can afford it? you see what I'm saying? latisha the booty model attracts the same bummy ass nikkas that beyonce attracts, but what smart, wealthy, going somewhere in his life kind of man is checking for latisha the booty model? Beyonce is desired by the masses and she is also sexually objectified but she is also respected because of what she represents and puts out.

This is the worst site to have a real discussion on. Shame. Time to move on.
