Call me a prude, but I do not like porno, especially in a soap opera. They showed Chloe's almost bare bottom today and I left and went to another channel.
I didn't really see it, unless I'm blind when I viewed the promo, but even so, I know that since they moved to Peacock, Days has been pushing the envelope a little more with regard to language, and with the mild porno-ish like amount of sex scenes. I know they have more leeway with what boundaries they are allowed to push on Peacock.
I'm more conservative in my own personal life, and really not much on the whole women's lib bandwagon, however, with that being said, I am a little more on board with the opposition to the whole double standard with regards to nudity/partial nudity/revealing clothing complaints that people/media has had over the years regarding female clothing.
A man can go shirtless and short shorts (with all his manhood freely swinging, literally) NO ONE thinks that it's improper, or scandalous. If a woman actress/athlete/public figure even slightly reveals any of her "assets" (boobs/nipples/bottom/hips), she is often crucified in the media/social media, etc.
Half the time, if a woman even goes without a bra, but otherwise covered, it's still frowned upon. Why is a woman's nudity/partial nudity/skin exposure more taboo than a man's, in real life? Why are we still subject of persecution over they way our bodies were made? Why are our natural bodies only considered as sexual objects?
I'm not a nudist, and I don't have any desire to go walking around with all my bits hanging out, but so what if a nipple shows here and there? So what if the waist is cut a little high on the thigh of an evening gown, or has a little bit of a low plunging neckline. I think we, as ladies, should be able to wear whatever makes us feel comfortable and confident.
With regard to sex scenes, in movies, and tv shows, it has always struck me as odd that pretty much almost everything has been historically seen on women's bodies in the movies, while a more modest approach has mostly been taken with revealing a man's bits. It's kind of funny that there's the reversal of "modesty" that's previously been portrayed in the mainstream when in it comes to sensuality/nudity/partial nudity with regard to real life vs movies/tv shows.
Rarely ever do you see full frontal male nudity in movies/tv shows but the same women that are vilified for showing a little extra skin, in real life are objectified in movies, for the sake of entertainment ?????
Yeah, I get it the "scenes" take place in bedroom scenes/various other places (sometimes public), but why when it's for entertainment value is it ok? But when a woman wants to feel fearless, sexy, and confident then we're made to feel like we're suppose to cover it all up???? Trust me, I cover it all up because ain't nobody, including myself, that wants to see all of me
. But I say if a lady wants to bare a little bit more skin, and it makes her feel vibrant, and alive, and sexy, and confident, then she should be able to wear what she choses, without public shaming.
I know there may be a lot of people that disagree with me but I say what's good for goose, is good for the gander.
Sorry, I got off on a little tangent. Take care all and have a great day.
