So I just came across this article today and I really want to hear what the men have to say about this. I wonder how the world would react if retail stores started openly selling women in this fashion? There is a lot of controversy and colliding opinions about prostitution, but would you say that this form of selling men could be a "playful" form of prostitution for guys? The guys don't seem to mind that they are being sold, so i'm interested to hear what the class thinks. This is a pop up store in Paris, and the Parisians seem to see the fun in it but how do you think Americans would see it if south congress had a store selling men packaged like Ken dolls.
Just wondering.
At first I thought this was funny, but then once I started to think about it more it was disturbing. I feel like it's making light of a much bigger issue. The difference is the women prostitutes are bought, they are seen as items, and I'm assuming they do not want to be in that position. The men here are doing all of this knowing that they won't be bought or touched or forced to do anything they don't want to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm having trouble articulating my point, but over all I don't like it.
I agree, I just don't really find it funny at all.
