Today is Spirit Day!0

Most people know Wednesday to be “Hump Day”, but today we’re giving it an extra special meaning. You see, today is Spirit Day, a day to remember the recent wave of gay-related suicides that have taken place. People are encouraged, today, to wear purple to show their support for this initiative.

We are of the belief that everyone should be able to live their life free and open without worry of ridicule based upon their sexual orientation. We should do what we can to make our society an open-arms, welcoming community for all.

So does this make a nice visual representation…1

…of something many women do every day (sometimes several times a day)?

The commercialization of women’s sexuality…1

So there was this episode of Nightline, last night, that dealt with women’s sexuality; but it was done from the angle that most major TV networks won’t run commercials/advertisements for enhancements or supplements that help boost women’s libido, despite the fact that there are tons of commercials (Cialis, Viagra, etc) that run all of the time to help male sexual dysfunction. The story was trying to figure out why male sexuality can be freely explored (even to the point that it can gain airtime during the Super Bowl — one of the most watched events on television) and yet ads for women’s enhancement can’t even get a mention.

The piece focused on two women who created a supplement called Provestra. While I can’t personally speak to it’s effectiveness, the interview targeted the point that the supplement couldn’t even get airtime in an era that shows male sexual dysfunction ads during prime time television (let alone late at night).

As I was watching the interview, I was taken back as I don’t really remember seeing many ads that specifically focus on helping women. The news piece stated that it was women who deal more with sexual issues than men, yet it was men who was being targeted the most.

One striking part of the interview was that when the women would present their ads to TV stations and networks, they were told they had to edit it down to not include things like ‘sexuality’, etc. even though that’s exactly what the ad is about. They then showed a KY Jelly commercial as an example of ads that didn’t have to water themselves down to get their point across.

So I wanted to ask you guys, what do you think? Should supplements that aim to women receive just as much available airtime as male supplements? Do you use any of these supplements and care to talk about their effectiveness (male or female — no real names necessary)?

The Pornification of Music?2

I just read an article that discusses how music is becoming very sexualized, thanks to the likes of performers like Lady Gaga and Rihanna. In fact, the article goes on to share this quote:

“Porn has evolved from the airbrushed misogyny of glossy spreads in Playboy and the smutty films sold in seedy shops. It is corporate and easily available… Porn has evolved to its logical conclusion. It turned women into sexual commodities and then killed women as human beings. And it has won the culture war. Pornography and the commercial mainstream have fused.”

The article is located, at this link, so you can read it for yourself, but I’m curious to know what you think about music and the sexualization of it.
