I'm not too fussy when it comes to grammar and what not, and although I can't say I've taken a liking to you, nor am I going to say it takes part in measuring your intelligence, could you please put what you say in paragraphs? It makes it easier to seperate points.
Those market places were created by people, let's just assume male (although today it certainly isn't exclusive to males), to reach a consumer group to make a profit. The industry would not of been sustainable if women were not interested, nor would it be sustainable if women did not stay interested. If some women became interested due to insecurity then that's their issue, not the free-market's. They didn't create it to make women they don't know insecure, they made it to make money, and the reason why it progressed so much is because women enjoy purchasing and viewing the products the industry creates. You're trying to blame men for what women buy, which not only devalues women as humans by taking away their agency but implies they're too emotionally immature to make decisions on what they buy to fit their wants.
Apologies but I'm drunk. I'd usually be able to pick out points from single blocks of text but not when I'm drunk so, on my part, I'm finding it difficult, so bare with me.
You say something about if men encouraged women to live life as if it isn't reliant on involvement men, and to that I say it isn't our jobs to tell you how to live your life. Sure, if a man is saying you need to live life by pleasing a man, he's an idiot and an asshole, but it isn't my place to teach you otherwise, I have my own life to lead. Aswell as that, I know for a fact women in general know this, that they don't need a man to live. The fact is that they want a man to live with, it's not a need, it's a want, a very strong want, same goes with men in regards to women, aswell as gays with gays and lesbians with lesbians, we all have that strong want to have that intimate connection to go through life with.
But what you said about romance novel men is interesting. You essentially imply that if men were better than they are then women wouldn't need romance novels, as a way to justify why women sexualize men in romance novels. You're essemtially saying that the reason why women sexualize men in romance novels is because average men don't meet the standard of the men in romance novels, and to that I have to say you're arguing against yourself. Your talk about the beauty standards can go along the same path. Men like these sexy women in magazines and TV because women don't meet the attractiveness standards men would prefer.
To make it more clear, you're saying:
The reason why women prefer men in romance novels is because they meet women's standards, even if they're very hard to obtain by the average male, regardless of if it makes men insecure.
Yet, say the reason why men prefer sexy women on TV and in magazines because they meet men's prefered standards of beauty is bad because it makes women insecure.
As for the hypocrisy part. Yes, you did ask me. You made a post on a public forum to the entire userbase. When I said it I was regarding someone who was responding to post directed to someone other than themselves. It's not hypocrisy.
Seriously Guys..
