anything of the sort. That's your thing, not mine. I expressed my opinion of the Sports Illustrated cover, which I find annoying in it's representation of women as objects of desire. Your reaction to it is different from mine.
I'm also not interested in your opinion of what interests "men" and "women." Every person is different, and categorizing people by their sex is just categorizing people. I don't put people in that kind of categories, but consider each person individually. And that's the problem with things like the Sports Illustrated cover. It says, in short, "Hey, Guys! Look at This!" And then it displays almost naked women who are exemplary of only a very few women on this planet as what you should be looking at. That's bullshit.
And that's my opinion.
I don't care what attracts or does not attract you or anyone else. It's none of my business. I do care how things are represented, though. And what's on the cover of Sports Illustrated does not represent women. It represents some false ideal of what women should look like, and that's screwed up, in my opinion.
You should do, and think whatever you want. I don't care.
