I know The Gio (he doesn't post here or have an account - he just reads) is sickened by this. Since when is being 'kind' to someone you care about behaving like a prostitute or john? Since when did that become the 'belief system'.
Well -you hit the nail on the head. It's the 'whorifying' of women by insecure males. It's so common - that Victoria's Secret can get away with an ad about how if you 'buy your wife this - she'll be just like me' - as part of it's Christmas Advertising Campaign.
The Gio flounced around saying just that when he first saw the ad. Keep in mind - he's not had the full force U.S. Mass Media indoctrination so he can id this type of stuff VERY quickly. He flounced around and then said: Your wife can be a bimbo who flits around in a thong all day just like me.
He then proceeded to put his finger in his throat and roll his eyes.
He likes the woman that speaks whatever is on her mind - no filter involved much better than what he referred to as 'Stepford Thong'. I like the man - who can see how demeaning that is - much better than the man who would throw a bunch of lingerie at me because he feels inadequate in some way, shape, or form.
