Mentally over-sized

Yeah, I'm mentally over-sized-

and sometimes I looze my appetite-

bein a woman, everyday criticized-

by societies MAN made eyez-

wolves preying on innocent thighs-

while I'm praying my words open eyes-

I'm tryin to break stereotyped ties-

that restrain us with subliminal lies.....

subliminal messages...

MAN, I have a lot on my mind today. WAIT!! Why do we say Man as a emphasis word? For example: Man, today was awesome! or Man, this really sucks!...I think you get my point. Subliminal messages are everywhere!! I don't know if any of you have noticed, this world is totally man geared!!! Everywhere you look there is something pointed towards a man's happiness or pleasure, but there is little satisfaction for women. Media is just destroying our men and boys minds. Media is also setting unrealistic expectations for our women. The scary thing is, that it's everywhere: newspapers,magazines,T.V., music, the list continues....

I saw, yet another commercial that upset me, coming from a females eye anyway. It was one of many Twix commercials. The wife is getting the baby out of the car, while the dad is watching these half-dressed really young girls, in the middle of a pillow fight outside, in the middle of the day. The mom is still trying to get the baby with her hands full, and notices him staring all goo-goo eyed at the girls. She says something like, are you staring at those girls or what are you doing? He grabs a Twix and shoves it in his mouth for time to think. Then he says something like, I was looking at possible babysitters, so we can go out and spend more time together. He waits, holding his breath hoping she falls for it. Of course the wife says, Awe how sweet, thank you honey and they go inside. WTF!

I can't be the only one to see all the jacked up subliminal messages in that... right? First- there's the portrayal of young girls and pillow fights and a way older man getting his willies watching, yeah that's real nice perverts. Then the disrespect of the whole scenario; a married man not helping his wife because he's too busy watching young women in a pillow fight. RUDE! Then the fact that they make the woman look like an idiot and submissive. They make it seem like, chewing a Twix helped him lie to his wife and made her dumb enough to believe it! Last but not least, thinking of how he was fantasizing about them, and then offering them up as babysitters...that's disturbing and offensive. This is only ONE of their commercials.

The other one is a guy in a party talking to a woman about stuff trying to find an angle. Then he's interested in her and asks her to go to his apartment-implying for sex-then she acts shocked and says WHAT!? He shoves the Twix in his mouth for time to think, and then says something like, Oh, I thought you were passionate about blogging and talking about your feelings? All innocent like. Then she says, Awe, how sweet, ok let's go. RIDICULOUS!!!! Again another disturbing portrayal of men's tricks and lies to keep a woman.

There are way more brands and Ads then these that constantly imply, if you use a certain product you can get Lot's of women, or that it's ok to cheat. Burger King, AXE, Big Red gum, automobile commercials, etc etc... Restaurants are even made to satisfy men, bars, strip clubs, adult magazines are everywhere mostly men's magazines. You rarely see Playgirl anywhere. Yes, I have looked just to prove my point. You can see a Hooters practically on every block, you don't see a Pecks!( patent pending) In movies you can see naked women in compromising positions in almost every movie.. How often do you see a naked man in a compromising position? Rarely.

As much as I love to write, sex and favoritism is in magazines and newspapers as well, and don't forget music. Nowadays, music is getting really explicit. We barely have a few female rap artist that are able to keep up with the onslaught of men's implications. The one's that are out there, have to fight the stereotypes of being crude and maybe even skanky.

Men with multiple sexual conquests are studs in societies view, but a woman is a whore. The double standards are ongoing and will probably never end. Why can't it just be fair; make things equal? Anything you make to please a man, include women too. What's wrong with that? I thought discrimination was illegal?! I'm not a hater, just an observer!
