Power, Sex and Shoelaces

by lisa

more (and it's hard to believe it's 2009 sometimes)

why are we allowing ourselves to be portrayed in the media like this? i've posted many times on burger king, bacardi and more. how they portray women. how they objectify and sex-i-fy us (tis ok to be 'sexy' but NOT how THEY are doing it. a bunch of ad MEN fucking with our images. not just no but HELL NO

let's stop this disgusting shite. i can't stop eating at carl jrs for a couple of reasons. 1) i don't think there are any in connecticut and 2) i'm vegan

ok my sisters and brothers. we buy fast food sometimes (well some of us do). let's NOT buy carl's jr (or burger king for that matter). if enough of us STOP buying their products perhaps they'll get the idea that women want to be seen as more than HOT OR NOT HOT (chicks). that women have feelings and brains and are not there simply as an image to be masterbated at or to

Carl's Jr. seeks "Hot Chicks Eating Burgers" on craigslist
Samhita linked to this campaign briefly last week, but we've got more to say about this.

That's right, folks. A reader alerted us to this craigslist ad casting call from Carl's Jr. and Hardee's burgers telling women that they could win $1,000 and a trip to Vegas if they submit a video of themselves eating one of their burgers and is "hot" enough for their marketing campaign.

Between Burger King's recent sick tactics and Carl's Jr. history of substituting women as meat in their ads, I don't think I'll be eating a burger for quite some time.

Carl's Jr.'s tagline is literally "More than just a piece of meat." So let's send them an email letting them know what that actually means to us. Or perhaps we can think of a good counter-campaign by sending them videos of what we really think of Carl's Jr. Any bright ideas?.........

hey mark regnerus

FUCK YOU. i would hope your article or piece or steamin' hunk o' shite was a joke. unfortunately, i don't think it is. i think you were quite serious.

by the way, i do NOT have 'market value' nor do my sisters. we're human beings not commodities you giant katsu piedi. and also by the way, if men get better with age, so do women. people like you are just too blind to see it

anyway, some dude in the wapo is telling us women we better HURRY up and get married cause once we're past 14, we're over the hill and good for nuthin', not worth the time it takes to write about us


Say Yes. What Are You Waiting For?
By Mark Regnerus

..........This is not just an economic problem. It's also a biological and emotional one. I realize that it's not cool to say that, but my job is to map trends, not to affirm them. Marriage will be there for men when they're ready. And most do get there. Eventually. But according to social psychologists Roy Baumeister and Kathleen Vohs, women's "market value" declines steadily as they age, while men's tends to rise in step with their growing resources (that is, money and maturation). Countless studies -- and endless anecdotes -- reinforce their conclusion. Meanwhile, women's fertility is more or less fixed, yet they largely suppress it during their 20s -- their most fertile years -- only to have to beg, pray, borrow and pay to reclaim it in their 30s and 40s. Although male fertility lives on, it doesn't hold out forever, either: Studies emerging from Europe and Australia note that a couple's chances of conceiving fall off notably when men pass the age of 40, and that several developmental disorders are slightly more common in children of older fathers. ..............
