The Trouble With Men

UPDATE: If you don't know me, this post may not come off correctly. I am not a feminist and I do not think men are awful. Sarcasm, people.
     I am a raging feminist, and I hate men because they are all pigs. All they ever do is objectify us and reduce us from people to a means of getting sex, and as a result women spend all their time applying makeup and choosing outfits and dieting and exercising and hating ourselves. Women are so oppressed these days. There's nowhere we can look for a positive role model to show we don't have to be the skinniest, prettiest, most perfect girl ever to be loved. It's deplorable, really. Because men have it so easy.
     I mean, I'm sure none of them ever doubt themselves, because women would certainly never do the same thing to men that men do to women, making them feel like they have to fit a certain image to be lovable. After all, I know for a fact that all the females in this country want to marry Channing Tatum because they've personally gotten to know him and have determined that his personality is compatible with theirs. It's preposterous to suggest that a woman, who knows the feeling of objectification, would think for a second that being physically attractive is the only quality that matters in a man.
     And can we talk about advertising for a second? Because it seems to me like every company is using clothing on women to sell their product, with absolutely no regard for the way these women are being turned into objects. Meanwhile, the men get away scot-free. I'm sure I speak for all women when I state my disdain at the interruption of the Super Bowl by the appearance of a soccer player. Not only was this man not of the right sport, I wasted valuable time watching his commercial several times before I actually figured out what they were selling. And then when I did figure it out, I was angered again - I am not the target audience for men's underwear, and there was no other reason to spend so much time watching it besides having an interest in the product. Because women don't view men as objects purely for visual gratification.
     There are no real women anywhere in the media, and no one ever bothers to promote people who don't look like supermodels. No one ever tells real women they are beautiful. Meanwhile, real men are everywhere in the media. Every guy walking down the street should just automatically know that he is perfect, without anyone ever having to tell him. It's not a man's job to need reassurance. It's a man's job to tell a woman she's beautiful. But not in such a way as to make her feel that beauty is the only thing that matters, because men also need to reinforce that what's truly beautiful is what's on the inside. Without accidentally implying that the outside is not beautiful also.
     So basically, there is a war on women going on in the advertising world and the world at large. Women are under constant pressure to be perfect in every way. Everywhere you turn there's another commercial, another ad, another spread in a magazine showing us how we should look and act at all times. The trouble with men is, they just can't understand what it's like.
