Twitter User Reverses Genders In News Headlines To Point Out Objectification Of Women

It is not okay to objectify anyone.

Whatever gender they may identify as people are not just their clothes. This may seem like common sense but apparently, tabloids don’t operate under basic human decency as they love to write about how a Kardashian is wearing a figure-hugging dress while going out for a stroll. I don’t think anyone really cares what sort of t-shirt a celebrity is wearing while grocery shopping but at the end of the day, tabloids publish what sells in the real life.

And if we as consumers didn’t read these sorts of magazines in spades, they would have to change their tactics. It has become so wide-spread that we think objectification of women is normal. I am not saying men don’t get objectified in the media as well, but it is done to a lesser extent than what female celebrities go through. And you can see that for yourself when one Twitter account flipped the script and put the men in the limelight.

You can see an abhorrent example with this headline.

We have Daily Male to thank for these invigorating headlines.

Just look a the infamous Deadpool Actor sporting what we can safely call chic.

And how about Arnold who shows how much he doesn’t care what the camera’s think of him.

Ricky clearly knew what he was doing when he dressed in the morning.

Can anybody else ever challenge the throne for the most toned legs? We think not.

He doesn’t even care that his tattoo is showing through the risque button-down shirt.

The fashion police can stay at home as he isn’t wearing any socks.

Figure-hugging and hourglass in the same sentence? Piers knows what’s up.

It must have been a very important building from which he is walking away from.

An all-black outfit with a hint of blue, that accentuates all the right areas.

Whenever you point this out, people will inevitably roll their eyes and say it’s ‘PC culture gone mad,’ or we are making a fuss over nothing. That’s because objectifying women in this way has become so normalized that sometimes people hardly notice it’s happening.

It ends up being a very real problem. If we see the fragmentation and evaluation of women’s bodies as ‘normal,’ we could assume that a woman walking down the street is somehow displaying their body for others’ benefit. –Jai Mackenzie

Apparently, his assistant was on break that day and couldn’t hold his coffee.

Robert Downey is also seen wearing a daring grey hat that challenges the foundations of fashion.

Enough said.

We all know Captain America would love to see his own behind.

I think we are all appreciating that very much.

We can keep wondering because we will never get to know that feeling.

Most of the comments already knew how dumb these magazines can be.

And they didn’t care that most people would be left with their jaws on the floor.

Who wouldn’t be okay with this fine display?

At least the satirical account could convey what they wanted.

Let us know your opinion abo tabloid culture in the comments below. And don’t forget to share so others can see how weird it actually is that we find this sort of stuff normal when it comes to women.
