WHAT ABOUT THE HEADLESS MEN?????? GOOD QUESTION.
Firstly, the exceptions do not disprove the rule. And constantly calling attention to them is mostly meant to distract away from the point, which is the systematic objectification and dehumanization of female bodies that we are numb to on a daily basis.
Secondly, evaluate the difference between the photos of headless men you see here compared to the headless women. When the men are headless, it’s not mindless, it’s not ordinary, and usually -- it is not sexual. His appeal to the opposite gender is not the focus. They are an engaged, unique and clear part of the joke. (You can argue that certain men are made to feel their bodies are only a joke which can sometimes be harmful -- I don’t disagree.)
When it is sexual, like the Deadpool poster, even though he is headless, he is NOT passive. He is an active sexual being, not an object WITH (FOR REAL PEOPLE, SAY IT WITH ME) A GUN. FOR. A. PENIS. -- THE LEAST PASSIVE THING A DICK COULD EVER BE-- SAYING HE’S GONNA ‘GIVE YOU A LOAD’ HAHAHAHA
I mean seriously dudes with their gun-dicks I die every time.
