Women Objectifying Themselves

Keira Knightley will no longer strip for the camera if a man is directing the movie, because she’s a Mom now and all Men are Pigs. You can read the whole thing on the Interwebs but let’s scope-out the implications:

– Any women who disrobes on camera, the street, or in your bedroom is doing you a favor

– An actress who gets naked on set is doing it under the lusty gaze of lewd, fascist men. Stripping isn’t done for art or commerce anymore – it’s purely to reinforce the sexual act

– Men only know women as sex toys

So many questions for Keira and her fans – can a woman nurse her newborn in public with a man around without him getting aroused? Are men hovering around Knightley’s flat just to get a glimpse of her slobbered upon right nip? Are women celebrating this decision? Because it means you/they/she is being objectified, yet again, and the stigma of female nudity is reinforced.

Of course if Michael B. Jordan or Channing Tatum or Jon Hamm drops trou it’s completely different to the various women behind the camera, who are clinical and detached about cinematic sex and not staring at his shlong. We’d like to hear Hamm say “I’m not comfortable airing my nozzle in front of women, and will only work with male directors” – but that would be sexist.

Mae West and Madonna must be spinning in their graves. Kiera, keep your mom-bod and anti-men prejudices under wraps – ain’t doing us Men-Pigs any favor.
