Audrey Hepburn. I love Breakfast at Tiffany's
She was a blue blood according to wikipedia.
Megan Fox? Nope. God I wish I looked like her. I could be a fairy princess.
You also said: "My comments were about how society's objectification of women too frequently hinders the best efforts of those women who refuse to be objectified, regardless of what skills, talent or intellect they possess."
I'm giving you examples of women, whether poor or not, who made it successfully in their field of choice without succumbing to being sex objects or dumbing down (see your quote above). These women all had screwed up childhoods of one sort or another that played against their efforts to succeed on their own terms, or had other strikes against them. Yet, despite being female, they succeeded without using the casting couch methodology or other means of using men.
The topic is objectification of women. These are some examples of women who resisted objectification and made their mark in their fields of talent/skill/choice. Criteria isn't just being poor, Xena -- if so, that would rule out lots of successful men as well.
It's about defying objectification, and objectification can come from within families or within marriages as easily as it can from the outside.
by AReallyHotActressI'm not even halfway through that list and I've got 6 who were either born wealthy or married money, that I know off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure a google search will turn up more.
Celine Dion was middle class and married her producer. I respect Simone, but she also married well. Katherine Hepburn's parents were wealthy. Streisand was at least middle class. So was Madonna. Mariah Carey's mother was a famous opera singer. She had the connections from birth.
by LoveFraudVictimDo you believe that women are often seen as sex objects in the media? And do you think that objectification, if it exists, is a problem?
Yes to both. I'm bored every time an advertiser uses sexualized women to draw consumers. These sellers appeal to base carnal instincts, taking reasoning and rationality out of the picture as if people cannot function in that capacity.
Marrying money= objectification.
Also, poor women are less likely to be respected for their talents than wealthy women.
Look at how many times YOU'VE made assumptions about my moral reasoning that are totally WRONG. (Like assuming that I'd steal from my family. Ya pampered little narc :P) And at the heart of your every argument was some crack at my SES.
