Going off from discussion we had in class about women not being safe while going to other countries alone, I wanted to talk more about the fact that women are still seen as objects not people. I found this image on Tumblr that shows Ryan Gosling talking about how in movies women can be shown getting tortured but cant be pleasured. (posted image below) I find this to be 100% true because you never see anyone getting upset about a women getting strangled, beaten or killed on screen but once you start pleasuring her in a sexual way then the rating goes up to PG-13 or even rated R and its called pornography. I feel like as a society we are putting too much emphasis on the wrong ideas. Even when its just suggested and not fulling shown it seems like its still more acceptable to show abuse the sex. Which confuses me because we are a overly sexual society but we have a problem of showing that women can be pleasured as well as men.
