Bravest brides? WTF?
This is what annoys me – any time a woman shows flesh in public, she’s automatically called “brave”. Just because a woman is so vain that everybody has to see her body, it’s a sign of “bravery”?? Of course if a man was to walk down the aisle in a speedo, he wouldn’t be called brave. He’d be chastised for not making an effort to spruce up on his wedding day, as well as having a “typical male ego”. D’you know that I once heard someone say, “Vanity, thy name is man!” But when a woman does it, she’s defying convention.
There’s nothing brave about wearing a revealing wedding dress. It’s just trashy and tasteless. If you’re swapping your vows with someone, the least you can do is look your best. Not that I’m ever getting married either, but in an alternate universe where something possessed me to, that’s not something that I’d want for an anniversary memory. I can only hope that the brides feel humiliated about it when they look back on the photos in a few years’ time. Better still, I hope that they’re constantly baited by friends: “I still can’t believe you wore that hideous thing.”
Bobphilo, did you ever hear what Will Smith had to say about male nudity? Apparently, the reason why he has a clause against it in his contract is because – well, I’ll let him explain. He blatantly said, “The male form is ugly. Dicks are unattractive. Women think that they’re functional, but not attractive. So no balls in my films. Nobody wants to see it.”
While I don’t need to be inundated with dicks in a movie, I also wouldn’t throw a childish tantrum if I saw one. It’s annoying enough getting that shit from women, Will didn’t need to be that uncouth.
