I'm sorry if I upset you. I have no problem with men liking to look at boobies. If I did, I wouldn't have this icon. My problem is with when women are depicted as JUST boobies and nothing else, and yes, I have the same problem with men being depicted as beefcake or whatever as well.
I'm sorry to hear that you don't have a problem with Sheila's Wheels, because I bloody do. It's another example of the "paint it pink and women will buy it" thing that really annoys me; Sheila's Wheels isn't better value for women, but it's marketed as though it is in the hopes that women are too stupid to actually check...
* shrug *
And yes, discrimination against white men DOES happen, you're right. I don't see why that makes discrimination against women or anyone else more acceptable though? IMHO people should be judged on their merits WHATEVER their gender or race or whatever. Discrimination against you is just as wrong as discrimination against me.
Hopefully I haven't wound you up even more with this post...
