Re: Sports Illustrated New Issue

I agree there's nothing wrong with the human form but there is when a 15 year old young lady walks around Disneyworld dressed with less on than the model... that's almost indecent exposure. Whether it causes acts of violation or not, this young woman should've been spoken to by someone in authority..

Assaults are a crime of violence and power. And a beautiful woman on a magazine cover has little if anything to do with body shaming.


OMG OMG..just when I think ignorance of such things is behind us..and we have moved into MODERN world of such opinions..I am thrown back 60 years.

Were you reading my mind, Coupon Queen? I was thinking the same thing.

Unfreakinbelievable in 2015.

I don't see people walking around in public like that. I've seen skimpy bathing suits at resorts and beaches and pools, but not Disneyworld.

Have you seen people at Disneyworld walking around with just a bikini on?

Sorry but I don't think there is anything wrong with the human body nor do I think she has anything to be ashamed of.


I agree.

So a bikini photo is to blame for a inappropriately dressed 15 yr old? No, her parents are. This has nothing to do with it. I also have no idea who or what 15 yr old you are talking about and why it is even mentioned here.

I don't think there is anything wrong with the human body either. 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.

To be more specific I think the model would have been absolutely beautiful without the need to pull down her bottoms.

There is nothing wrong with the way her body is portrayed. It is suggestive but showing nothing.There is nothing wrong with suggestive either.

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.

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.

Gosh irsgrl, I only mentioned the 15yr old as an example of how some young girls are dressing in public.. I'm sorry if I offended or upset you with my opinion- that certainly wasn't my intent on this thread. Dang, you make me feel bad for even saying anything.

A model can get paid for how a young woman is dressing in public.

In an ideal world good parenting 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.

Re: Sports Illustrated New Issue

I too think there's nothing wrong with the human body but that's because I'm not looking at the picture the same way a man will. The model is not representing athletically fit women who have accomplished great strength and discipline building their body through hard work. She's just a thin 24 year old model with implants whose current boyfriend is 40 year old Derek Jeter. Like other models before her, she is on the cover to sell magazines to men and adolescent boys....no other purpose.
