Political Image Dump

I am a huge fan of the Sociological Images website. I want to take a post to share some images that I found offensive, critique worthy, shocking, sexist, racist, manipulative and so forth.

According to the article, this is a campaign called Keep a Child Alive, where people are encouraged to donate money to Africa and as the article said "on the basis that we are all African"

This is an ad for a product selling dye for women's genitals to make them appear "more pink", and people say we're not living in a porn culture...



The reality of Barbie from here 




Douche for a Job found here

Please comment on whichever one you like, or all of them! I want to hear how these made you feel.

  1. I saw you commented on the same sociological images post as me. I LOVE that site like 99% of the time. It's hard to find popular sites that are feminist (it's very unpopular to view women as human).

    That "my new pink button" shit is seriously disturbing. Why in the hell would I want to put toxic stuff on my sensitive parts for someone else's viewing pleasure? You know how they make "lip plumping" stuff for women that works by irritating your skin to make it puff up? I bet they'll start making them for women's other lips soon. Like hells yeah, let's make our labia hurt like hell so they look better!

    And that Summer's Eve ad makes me shudder. It's basically telling women they're stinky and dirty and won't get a raise at work unless they remove that female stink from themselves.

    And don't even get me started on PETA. PETA hates everyone, but especially women. They've started using naked men, but they're pictured just shirtless and masculine rather than chained, beaten, cut into meat, etc...

  2. Yeah, Sociological Images is great.

    Ha, i know though, why would anyone want to dye that area? Dye has horrible chemicals...it's crazy.

    PETA is morbid and they clearly hate women. I looked through a few campaigns, unbelievable. They don't even care how contradictory and stupid they make themselves look...
