Chick Site

Okay, so there's this thing that's been bothering me for the last couple of weeks, and I haven't quite been able to justify why until just recently.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with pretty chicks being shown on a website, right? The porn sites do it all the time. And so do people like those Idiots, I mean, Idols; you know, the karaoke championship title. And Kylie and Britney have practically got the market share on internet "pretties" as farce, I mean, as far as pics are concerned.

But when I think of University*, I think of intellectuals, who don't need to rely on their blowjob ability to get a professional job. Maybe it's just me, but I don't consider Universities to be the purveyors of engendered stereotyping of women as objects of desire. Tell me I'm right on this? Because I've recently discovered that a South African University is actually putting up a Funded website with their prettiest "Barbies" on a site made specifically to encourage the objectification of women.

Now, as much as I think that some women were made for the simple purpose of being chained to the bed with enough length to get to the toilet and the kitchen, I somehow can't put Varsity students of Law, Engineering and Social Science in the same category. I somehow get the impression that they should put their brainpower before their urge to become Teasers dancers and not do this thing. One argument against it I can think of is that the Teasers girls have some class, and they will do it for lots of money, for a living. Aside from the fact that Varsities are SUPPOSED to be institutions of enlightenment and stuff like that.

Speaking from a "liberation" point of view, I think it's sort-of backwards to encourage a patriarchal and generally chauvanistic approach to the viewing of women as objects, instead of revering them for their intellectual qualities, as most patriarchal institutions, (such as pretty much all states), will do for men.

If any of you chicks out there in that site happen to see this, I hope you rethink your decision to advertise your sexual appeal to the general public instead of your intellectual talents. Or perhaps, if you feel that it's your thing, then join your local strip club – I'm sure you can make just as much tax-free cash in that profession as you could in, say, chemical engineering...

As my friend and fellow scholar/ professional linguist, Richard Consterdine says, "It's as if the Rennaissance and Age of Enlightenment never happened."

*I refuse to name this site because I refuse point blank to give them free advertising space!
