Victorian Gown For Rent Manila

PRINCESS OF CLAY.


I contribute a point to the community, a figure from a feminist perspective clear. Has been talked about these years of the objectification of the female body, ie the woman as a purely decorative object, always up to date operations, forever young.

The media foster the use of that body as currency, the selling of a sexual attributes set out to sell anything from cars to hamburgers.

The popular imagination, fetishism against the occult, film images of the erotic feminine scandal legs, necklines and ass voluptuous dizziness are doing or have done the Silent and the conception of "feminine", making This divine concept into something trivial and purely aesthetic.

As if this were not enough and dangerous for us, the body the woman is not the only thing that is objectified today and due in large part to the media, films, series, magazines, collapsing our day to day, which is objectified is the individual himself , women.

How is this done, how disempowering to a group, person or race? For

starts giving soulless values \u200b\u200bto ensure that the individual himself relegated to a mere object, aesthetic physically and psychologically empty. To empty depersonalize the individual and fosters a kind of earthly dye adjectives, ie the range of human qualities at one end would be the most humane and this concept is understood as a positive category and deep. And on the opposite side would be the most mundane or earthly qualities that human beings can not be undone and that, moreover, are the cause of our darker, more capitalistic, less profound, the most earthly human.

value against cowardice, strength against weakness, passivity versus activity, intelligence versus stupidity ... these and many other dualities are what define our souls, our essence as individuals, are not external is not are physical. Are internal, metaphysical and here, as in many things, women are bearing the brunt. Lately

female representation in the media are associated almost exclusively to the adjectives that belong to the dark end of the definitions of the essence or soul. This is dangerous because in this way create the dreaded stereotypes popular belief attributes to be created for each group, gender, race ...

These stereotypes serve to generalize and thus classified. Beliefs are based on dichotomous, ie what defines blacks or Arabs is the opposite of what defines whites and the stereotype that men define women do not define, so it gives each group a few dogmas and roles budgets. White

Vs.Negros, Vs.Homosexuales Straight, Gay Vs.Lesbianas, Men vs. Women

The fact is that these stereotypes vary according to the ideology and social movements of the time. Gays, for example, have spent the stereotype of gay mad, Jesús Vázquez gay style, gay men, gay women.

The acceptance of these stereotypes involves the exclusion of any other existing stereotype, ie whether it is now being marginalized Jesus Vazquez a Boris Izaguirre, how long ago it was accepted to a modern Boris and even seemed to have a friend effeminate, paradoxically, today rejected even in the LGBT own spaces.

To better understand how they work and develop these stereotypes are going to talk about a current topic, Arabophobia. Surely 20 years ago few people who saw an Arab on the street think that is a potential terrorist, and as recently as areas of the world is upside down. These stereotypes are going to promote, by granting to each individual's intrinsic qualities, qualities that sometimes are as stupid as assuming that a race was born to kill and terrorize.

Women have gone through plenty of them, since by nature we must know how to cook and iron, to which we have no sexual desire.

I told you before that stereotypes vary according to the ideology, in the case of women of patriarchal ideology is so powerful that still carry some burdens of the past and are really difficult to dispose.

If so, we add new female models presented today at the TV, with no soul and eye, I say that girls "Princesses neighborhood" or have no soul Belén Esteban the can have or not, just as television products that are, as characters exalts what qualities they are soulless capitalist souls underground reified in purely aesthetic, calculating, cold, treacherous, weak, without power, but they do laugh and have a good time with his kicks to the dictionary and garish colors. People see all this without realizing that by promoting this type of information in sufficient quantity to not qualify as a model for other regards, the end is this model which follows. Perhaps

muchxs of those who read me will think that these things do affect us, and possibly as well as most of those you will read me adults. You

-as adults and adults with a personality defined by sociability and education, will have to prove me right when I say you were not always so. Everyone has a period of change both physically and psychologically, I mean adolescence. In those years, chaotic and desperate somehow subconsciously choose one or more models to follow, as the agony of the identity you pursued at that stage. Unconsciously

choose what you think you most like his attitude, his style, his manner of speaking, her hair, perhaps you have no idea what it does or did that character question is just a hunch an attraction that takes you to want to look like something a figure, a symbol.

remember I loved the Spice athlete, did not know why in due course, but in retrospect was a woman who made up, that was active, jumped and turned somersaults tattoos had looked in complete freedom, can they are some of the qualities I saw in her and that seemed attractive. The others are not attracted to them all, as it was the most masculine of all but I liked it.

certainly were other times, now I do not like as much (if not nothing), things have changed and changed quickly, as does the system, "which takes" varies from year to year.

Unfortunately, what we find in these times in my point of view is an impoverishment of the media, probably because the mania that we have to insist on the repetition of earlier programs or models that we have been profitable as OT Fame, heart programs that trivialize more than they already are, with repeated occurrences of these that lead to degradation of content.

public TV is a mass phenomenon, is the entertainment of the masses, is the time people wasted on banal entertainment and dangerously funny as we see adults to pass the time but teenagers who share our homes.
Every day, at least 30% of our time is spent watching TV and, unfortunately, increasingly, the menu is dismissed as trash television for consumers to it.

Today's young people dream of leaving in programs such as GH, OT, Women and Men fantasize about their 5 minutes of fame and who knows maybe with the opening of a nightclub or restaurant fleeting fame thanks to the media and rose a few thousand euros.

There are even international analysts studying these phenomena television, for example, Esteban Bethlehem. This is true. The new standards come to us as media phenomena become objects of study.

Belén Esteban, Carmen Lomana (inexplicably the new face of Burger King) and princesses of the neighborhood are some of them. In this modern trio of possible models, no matter how rich you are, how young you are, what you are operated, the prototype is the same, no soul, no matter ... with a continent reified and without content, and would Today the sign of the woman as a Saussurean perspective.

Consequently, the real problem and what I personally think that much of the blame lies with these female role models, gender is violence. This type of violence degenerated into a subtype, we can call it that now begins to look harder and brutality in the past, talk about the murders of teenage girls at the hands of friends or former boyfriends minors. Why Why? Well, of course, this is only a theory but programs like women, men and vice versa, Sin Tetas no paradise, neighborhood Princesses, etc., Have these stereotypes of women that recently flooded television screens and the image of women degradation, gender stereotypes promoted and widening gaps.


Our soul is degraded to levels as if we were aesthetic objects, and to lose the humanity prevails and the androcentric wipes out the weaker group.

Those models that will inevitably follow and imitate many adolescents, which on the other hand, creates a conflict because these characters are good for a while, but put up with such a person more than a week is unbearable and not just what I think, what teenage boys think as I heard last Sunday at a bar in Alicante referring to the "Princess Town" "How are women, dammit!, Aunts Yuck!"

And I wonder: How the media promote the growing misogyny that has already finished with 8 women's lives so far this year?
