Just When You Thought You Were Out…

Started by Avinash · 10 months ago

In the past few months, I’ve witness almost all the possible buzz you can dig up about Allison Stokke, and I’m rather exhausted by the whole thing. I’d like to move on as soon as possible with reality, which is that she’ll be a damned awesome ath ... Continue reading »

  • Women’s rights – where are they? They should be paving the roads, building the bridges and fighting all the wars – so men can stay home and watch soap-operas, clean the kitchen, and tend to the children – what a life – I can only dream.

    Such hypocrisy from the ladies.

    Yes, men want to be treated like a slab of meat by the ladies. But the ladies must fulfill that role first - of world-prime-mover!
  • Speak for yourself. Nothing hotter to me than a girl willing to do my laundry.
  • i like the photo, how much cleavage she is showing at the interview. shes hot, she knows it, she exploits it.
  • I listened to the interview, she still seemed unsettled by the whole thing. I don't think she's happy with all of this absurd attention, but she goes along with it because it'll enhance her profile and the sport's (which no one outside of Europe would care about anyway).
  • She's totally right. Before modern media, women were never treated like objects.
  • Before modern media, they were all just flowers, really. Unique and special flowers that produced many many babies.
  • I don't know where the whole "violence" issue is coming from, but I do know that as a woman, I am enraged and saddened that women today are still being viewed as sex objects--and its the women that are degrading themselves, in pursuit of fame or personal esteem. Men just stare and admire, as they are wont to do because they are, well, men. BUT that does not excuse men to make derogatory or disgusting comments about any woman who happens to appear on the internet or other media. Any and all attention women receive in this day and age are still centered around their sexuality. And you are a disgusting, dirty human being to make derogatory or sexual comments about a girl as young as Allison Stokke, and don't even get started on "she's of legal age". Imagine how her father must feel? And her mother? If that was my daughter, I would personally hunt down anyone that victimized her and strangle them with my bare hands. Women are not put on this planet for men's personal pleasure. So I'm so sorry if you're a frustrated or disgruntled male looking at pictures of a teenager for sexual pleasure. Women have to deal with the threat of rape. Maybe that's where the article's violence topic was headed. Comments on a woman's sexual, physical self are NOT positive in any way, they are threatening to women. If I were Allison, I'd start carrying around that pole for a much different use-- to stake any man who so much as made ANY type of sexual advance on me. Its too bad that men don't see her as an accomplished athlete that could kick their butts to hell and back.
  • I made derogatory and sexist remarks about Allison Stokke?

    What I'm trying to point out is that drawing more attention to a problem makes it more of a problem long term. What she did at the time did not really help her. She has taken her face out of the public limelight since then and it has been definitely beneficial for her.
  • I agree women are treated like objects by many men. I agree that TV, Movies, Magazines treat women like objects and feed it to them and men that they should be this way.

    Women need to be respectable for themselves too and responsible. High schools and colleges as well as the women and their parents should be more wise to the attire they wear.

    Men should refuse to watch trash. Women should be unwilling to be filmed or photographed the way they do.

    If you want respect, be respectable.

    Same for men, if you want your women to be respectable, respect them.
