Sexism, Degradation or Freedom ?
Ladies often complain about sexism .. Yes, sexism exists, but do we sometimes let ourselves become victims ?
Is this freedom of choice, exploitation or sexism ?
Keep religion and cultures out of the discussion please... Does the female body "thirst" for the words of a man ?
_____________
Danish TV personality Thomas Blachman creates a show where he judges women's nude bodies
On his self-named program, the bald chauvinist and a buddy pointlessly appraise a woman. Blachman says 'the female body thirsts for the words of a man.'
The show, which airs in Denmark — is currently being shopped to producers here for a potential beachhead in the U.S.
On “Blachman” — the women walk on in a bathrobe and then stand in front of the two men who are seated on an empty set with one harsh light. Each model then removes her robe and stands there silently as Blachman and his sidekick insultingly appraise their figures.
Blachman defended the show Wednesday to a British newspaper insisting he was actually doing women a favor as the “female body thirsts for the words of a man.”
He believes his show is “the work of a genius” and had a higher objective of “discussing the esthetics of a female body without allowing the conversation to become pornographic or politically correct.”
Thomas Blachman claims he is doing the women a favor with his judgments saying 'the female body thirsts for the words of a man.'

degrading and humiliating is when your forced to do something, if you are doing with out any force then its a choice!
i once saw the show ...a bare assed women standing infront of a well dressed men . well was that a freeedom ? now imagin if a bare assed men were standing to be judged infront of a well dressed women no that is no freedom that's degrading and humiliating
Rizks have you heard the word freedom and free society. One can do what one pleases as long as it doesn't break any laws or spreads hatred!
Ur welcome.
Rizks, yes, I forgot to mention that. thank you.
and sad that some people participate in this garbage...:(
It is sad, really sad.
Sad that people come up with such garbage and sad that people watch such garbage.
agree..
There is still room to go back a lot more ....
Well said happy.
I can hear saxophone, guitar and drums at the same time on this thread...:)
So far the action is between two consenting adults, whether its for money, fame or whatever, why should it be an issue unless it is harming any individual or the society. People do outrageous things for money etc, this may be just another of them.
They'r free to choose their path .. you'r right.
It's difficult for us to stop & bring running away persons back ..
There is nothing like sexism. Both men & women like their body to be praised. Sex is directly related to ego. Both male & female have a mentality to use their sexuality as commodity. That is human nature.A woman wearing bikini & selling lipstick is as outrageous as a man wearing briefs & selling VIP suitcases.
In fact, all living beings have evolved as hermaphrodites. It's just that some hermaphrodites were better at pro genesis. So their female characteristics were favoured and encouraged by nature. When a baby is conceived , it has got potential of becoming both male or female. But a very tiny gene on Y chromosome codes for secretion of testosterone at certain stage of embryo genesis & that is what leads to enhancement of a particular set of sexual organ. All women have mullerian ducts which are remnants of male sexual organs & all men have wolfian ducts which are remnants of female sexual organs.
Everything about sexism is Okay as long as it doesn't involve exploitation & violence. Having an extramarital affair is okay as long as you can keep both your wife GF happy, but domestic violence is not Okay even if husband is a saint. Cheating female workers for wages is not Okay. If a woman is willing to sell sex for money, that is her choice. But human trafficking and exploiting unwilling women for sex trade is not Okay.
it looks all is business. If woman have no objection, what others can do.
Brit, Even if the models are not getting paid, they probably come on the show to get publicity and modelling assignments in the future. So, finally, money is involved somewhere or the other.
Do you think any sane average looking woman, with the usual 'physical imperfectness' will ever come on the show to be judged and insulted for her looks?
I cannot argue with your logic. I wonder whether the women do get paid to appear on the show ?
Brit, I won't edit my comments even after going through the article. As Thelo said, its just a business that sells sex. I bet the models get paid highly to pose on the show and take whatever shyte the guys talk about them.
Men watch this show to gratify themselves as they would have viewed some porn movie and women watch this to know their 'areas of improvement' and not be judged at the same time.
oh wait, i can acess the link !
DAMN, MODS ur attention is highly required.
BAN the OP for posting nude pics and spoiling small kids like me...:(
the guy looks somewhat like a creep. These women look like even bigger fools to allow their very unique body to be reduced to a mere object to be judged on. Such a stupid show
britey you loose poppadum seller..i just peeped in this post thinkin u might have posted some pics especially for 'Sexism'...but...:(
Remain focused on the topic, you'r being monitored ... tightly.
No religion or culture please..
just comment on the topic.. Thanks
at the roots ....
Shows like these exist for a reason - Controversy. They catch eyeballs through filth.
I would urge you to read the article in the NY Daily and then judge .. (see link)

Also, it would be interesting to hear from a Dane, as to whether the comments on the show are critical or chauvanistic or flattering..
As long as the man's words compliment and admire their bodies, it would be fine with the ladies. Nothing new about it..we all know ladies 'thirst' for praise and admiration.
Tell them the truth in real life and you are done with...:)
Its a TV show so the models are paid to listen to criticism and viewing ladies get a kick out of watching them being judged critically!
As super cool said "it is a personal matter", and thanks to the diversity, there are a lot of people would like this kind of shows.
Honestly i felt Disgust after I saw the pictures of the show, i wonder why a girl will involve herself in this show.
I think the same show should have man judged by women!
A very valid point. The women must be in agreement.
Honestly...I am indifferent about the show...I wouldn't watch it cuz I can't imagine I'd get any entertainment out of it...but again if both parties agree to it then this is a personal matter and I don't believe I have the right to be pro or con in the matter.
