American Apparel is well known for its degrading and sexists ads. While most ads that rely on the objectification of women bother me, AA really takes it a step beyond your garden variety sexist ads. They don’t just showcase women’s bodies, they specifically photograph them <a href="http://stylecrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bj-hooray.jpg">in</a> <strike><a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Sock-Love.jpg">almost</a></strike> <a href="http://www.adrants.com/images/the_tap_panty.jpg">pornographic</a> <a href="http://blog.mtviggy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/american_apparel_ad.jpg">ways</a>, <a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Butt-Crack.jpg">showcasing</a> <a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Hiking.jpg">their</a> <a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Spread.jpg">genitals</a> <a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Flash.jpg">or</a> <a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Japan.jpg">their</a> <a href="http://www.debonairmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/American-Apparel-Ballet.jpg">butts</a> <a href="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/39/2009/01/20081226aa.jpg">and</a> sometimes pairing them with little puns like they have here.</p> <p>In particular, the ad above really bothers me. Here, they don’t bother to give her a sassy smirk or force the model to recreate her orgasm face, they have her look maybe a little sad and uncomfortable. Sometimes they try to make it look as though women get a real kick out of being exploited and peddling knee socks via their vaginas, but why bother? It doesn’t really <em>matter </em>if women enjoy being sex objects—after all, her face isn’t the focus of the ad. It’s not her face that’s “now open.”</p> </blockquote>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/22937962506http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/22937962506Sat, 12 May 2012 20:55:19 -0400rape culturepornographicsexistdegradingadssexism<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2e68ddH511rp9es8o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://typeographie.tumblr.com/post/20993988593/rainn-day-activism-poster-lauren-mcauliffe">typeographie</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Rainn Day Activism Poster / Lauren McAuliffe</p> </blockquote>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/22023807419http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/22023807419Sat, 28 Apr 2012 23:03:27 -0400assaultrapeRAINNRAINN DAy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2ubqg1Y7h1qc8ploo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://littlemissjohndeere.tumblr.com/post/21508764847/found-my-all-time-favorite-take-back-the-night">littlemissjohndeere</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Found my all time favorite take back the night shirt! :)</p> </blockquote>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724912672http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724912672Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:31:42 -0400gentlemen consent equality<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://retrovert1go.tumblr.com/post/21438395459/this-is-my-new-favorite-image">retrovert1go</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2sc3jZWQH1qfsxf8.jpg"/></p> </blockquote>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724706681http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724706681Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:27:14 -0400satire consentissexy“Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.”<br/><br/> - <em><blockquote> <p><strong>Eleanor Roosevelt</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://quotes-formeandyou.tumblr.com/">quotes-formeandyou</a>)</p></em>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724422227http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724422227Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:21:02 -0400girlpower strength<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2zwa7E0bJ1qevo4io1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahlookatthis.tumblr.com/post/21723125619/http-anti-oppressivebabyanimals-tumblr-com">fuckyeahlookatthis</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://anti-oppressivebabyanimals.tumblr.com/"><a href="http://anti-oppressivebabyanimals.tumblr.com/">http://anti-oppressivebabyanimals.tumblr.com/</a></a></p> </blockquote>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724373056http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21724373056Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:19:56 -0400consent simple truths<a href="http://www.elle.com/Life-Love/Sex-Relationships/How-Not-to-Attack-Women">How Not to Attack Women</a>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21390174174http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21390174174Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:56:25 -0400Elle MagazineRape cultureawarenessharassment<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2n1751zxy1rtaxq7o1_r1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21278068562http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21278068562Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:09:00 -0400consentno means nosexual assaultMy Strength<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2n155feMs1rtaxq7o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21278017491http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21278017491Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:07:53 -0400Don't Be That GuyConsentAssault<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2n13xm8Xg1rtaxq7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This ad showcases rape culture in society and this is NOT what we want to portray as a society!</p>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21277987436http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21277987436Tue, 17 Apr 2012 15:07:09 -0400rape culturemediaadvertisement<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m20kahya1u1rrqu40o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21271092606http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21271092606Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:03:02 -0400consentno means norape culture<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2e5jdhVgV1rtfxx8o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21270887099http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21270887099Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:57:28 -0400Sexual AssaultHotlineHOPE<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sEhy-RXkNo0?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Rihanna’s “Man Down” exemplifies rape culture. </p>http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21270667969http://thedarksideofsexy.tumblr.com/post/21270667969Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:50:45 -0400Rihannamediaman downrape cultureconsentno means nomusic video
