It would be if men were sexualised and objectified in the media to the same extent as women.

Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

Didn't you realise, the film market is the male 16-25?
Consider the new Jack Ryan film, there has been much made of the issue that the audiences for it have been 1/3rd 50+Fan of Fuggles | Derailment of the Wolfpack of Horsemen | In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni

If Jack Ryan isn't Harrison Ford, they're doing it wrong.
However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!

Actually 18-24 makes up 12% of the cinemagoing audience in the US and ticket sale are generally split fairly evenly between the genders. 12-17 makes up another 10% while 25-39 makes up 24% on it's own. Hollywood makes films for young white men because most of the people in charge are (young) white men making films they would want to see.

what over any interest in watching said scantily clad women prancing around scantily clad? Originally Posted by eldargal

Hmmm the film is ironic and cheesy in equal measure. Poking fun at what's gone before and not taking itself seriously at all. The Zombie Beavers made me laugh muchly.
I have to agree with the new Jack Ryan film. When they replaced Ford with Affleck and changed the time line completely around and contrary to the books it was bad enough but this is a step beyond.
I think the reason I like (Fords) Ryan's character so much is because he isn't a Kung ho in your face action hero.Last edited by Deadlift; 02-10-2014 at 04:32 AM.

It's not so much what they are wearing but how they are filmed wearing it. The men will be standing around in their shorts and whatnot and the camera is just there, but with the woman the camera work focuses on them, pans up and down their body and in general just does the whole Male Gaze thing and it's just so blargh. Then add in the being killed (ultimate depowerment) while being so scantily clad and the whole thing comes off as very fetishistic and exploitative. Originally Posted by Psychosplodge

No I didn't think you meant it I had just been reading some articles about the actual demographics and who actually gets films aimed at them so it was all ready to come out. Originally Posted by Wolfshade
