In Praise of Shame

mypantsareonfire:

Gotta love how PETA sexually exploits women in their ads by having them pose naked or in lingerie, using porn stars and alluding to the fact that vegetarian women masturbate with vegetables. Maybe they should try to promote wearing cotton rather than the degradation of women by displaying them as sexual objects.

I agree with the comment, but I don’t think the phrase in the image that says “I’d rather wear fur than be objectified by PETA” makes any sense. It makes it sound as though you’re choosing between two things that are both detrimental to you, which is obviously not the case; wearing fur isn’t detrimental to you, it’s detrimental to the animal who was killed for that fur. It kind of makes it sound like you’re saying, “I don’t agree with how PETA campaign, so that makes it justifiable to wear fur”. Hey, guess what? You can despise PETA and also vow to never wear fur.
