I don’t care for them shaved like that. It’s creepy. I want a woman to look like a woman, not a girl.

Yes, Chris Plante on WMAL pronounces it “Pound Me Too.”

Leaving aside the issue of Harvey Weinstein-like sexual power brokers, there is another problem here.

Imagine if you will, a very attractive job position being offered by, say, Apple. The job posting goes into great detail about all the perks of the job and the high salary. But the inexperienced HR person who posts the job on a big recruiting website is so excited about attracting a lot of interest that she neglects to put in any information about the required qualifications. At first glance, the posting appears not to require any experience or education at all.

Leaving aside the future of the HR rep with the company, Apple would be completely flooded with hundreds of thousands of inappropriate resumes, and would find it an immensely frustrating task to search through them all to find a few with the required skills and experience.

Now imagine if you will, an attractive young woman who dresses and acts exactly the way she wants and walks out into public places without any particular interest in the kind of people the advertisement of her figure and her costume will attract. What kind of resumes for the open position she is advertising is she gong to attract, and from what kind of people?

Like the inexperienced HR person at Apple, rather than taking the time and making the effort to ensure that her job posting is targeted at qualified individuals, she wants to take a shortcut and blast her advertisement out to the general public - but unlike Apple she expects the government to step in and ban unqualified applicants from contacting her. Because, like the misguided HR rep, she wants to enjoy the power of appealing to that huge audience without taking any responsibility to filter out inappropriate candidates through her own efforts.

From the article: These women should be admired for their intellect and for the athletic ability that they display in Sports Illustrated, not just for their looks. I'm paying attention to their athleticism.

That's a very good analogy. But have a little pity.

Understanding Beautiful Women

Harlow     Jean Harlow would wear disguises to go out and pick up strange guys at night. Her men friends, who feared sure rejection, wouldn't approach her in normal everyday life. So, Harlow married creeps and one beat her enough to cause kidney damage. Jean continued to work in misery until she could no longer. Harlow's mother, a strict Christian Scientist, wouldn't let doctors treat Jean until it was too late to save her.

       Remember that the next time you sidle up to a beautiful woman, and she tells you to get the hell away from her, the poor thing.

Reminds me of when my girlfriend caught me “reading” my way through my uncle’s Playboy collection: “I am reading it for the articles!”

Years later one of my gunners accused me of licking my lips as I read Playboy after I accused him of moving his mouth as he did the same.

And here I was, innocently thinking “pound me too” was a request BY the femisnazi’s jealous of somebody else getting all the male attention. ....

Genevieve Morton who modeled for Sports Illustrated and was on the cover did a completely nude calendar for 2017. In Sports Illustrated she had a painted on bikini.
In 1977? Cheryl Tiegs wore a see thru bathing suit and since then each issue would have see thru or the painted on bathing suits
