The human body is beautiful. However it is the manner in which the body is portrayed in this case that I don't care for plus I think it sends a bad message especially to young girls. That women are merely s*xual objects.</P> <P>To be more specific I think the model would have been absolutely beautiful without the need to pull down her bottoms.</P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>There is nothing wrong with the way her body is portrayed. It is suggestive but showing nothing.There is nothing wrong with suggestive either.</P> <P>I don't think it sends a bad message to girls at all. If young girls parents are doing what they are supposed to be doing like parenting and instilling self esteem in their children by showing them they have more to offer to the men and the world than just looks then it isn't a problem.</P> <P>Women are a lot of things, we are smart, funny, compassionate, nurturing, confident, honest and upfront, strong and independent, patient, selfless, hardworking and yes we are sexy and titillating too. We can be all those things. One isn't mutually exclusive of the other.</P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P><STRONG>In an ideal world</STRONG> <STRONG>good parenting</STRONG> should solve all the problems created by such images that affect the impressionable minds of young girls and young women every day. Girls and young women are bombarded with these kinds of images every day and it affects their self image and self worth. I don't think anyone can deny that this is a problem. I will say again...it was not necessary to go that low. It was gratuitous. JMO.</P> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Well, with my daughter I worked on the stuff that I had a possibility of changing. I know I can't change what the media puts out there to girls so I made sure I could give her the biggest edge by boosting her self esteem and making her a well rounded person who had more to offer than just her looks.</P> <P>Again, I don't find it gratuitous and neither do many others. While I don't buy or subscribe to SI, I don't have a problem with it at all. It is good we all have choices and can voice our opinions.</P> Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:14:19 GMT Irshgrl31201 2015-02-05T19:14:19Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Sports-Illustrated-New-Issue/m-p/1665342#M577715 What is your opinion on the new cover that was unveiled on tv last night?My personnel opinion is Disgusting.
