Lots of people find business sexy. Anything can be sexy.
Seriously. @pudding, you don't think Donald Trump and other such flamboyant businesspeople think business is sexy??
I said in my opinion.

I really hope that's not true.
One might wish, but do you have a better explanation for the phenomenon?
I'm a simple mouse. I have more faith in womankind than that.
Have you watched The Devil Wears Prada?
I can also recommend the book Propaganda by Edward Bernays.
Would women have spontaneously taken up wearing panty-hose, high-heeled shoes, and getting cosmetic chest surgery, completely on their own, without being manipulated by a small number of men, making huge amounts of money?
Are women really out to punish themselves for being women?
Pantyhose are for warmth in winter time when wearing dresses and skirts. High heeled shoes make women feel sexy. Women dress to impress because it pays off for them. Stop blaming men for women's fashion and choices of clothing.

Ya, you forgot that all women's actions are men's fault -- for conditioning them that way. (You know, conditioning the "strong, indepedent" gender.) And since there will always be men living near women, feminists will always have someone to blame!
You feminists won't like what my wife thinks of women who constantly b***h at or about men. She has had this theory for years. She believes that many of those women unconsciously want to be controlled. Let me quote her from another forum, so I get it exactly right:

Quote:
When your in one of these Relationship Dynamics you have a clear cut role to be and what is expected of you. It is a very reassuring feeling.
Before I understood my self I would act out and be bitchy and naughty because deep down I wanted to be controlled. I couldn't control myself and I needed someone to do it for me. It was so subconscious. That want and the actions that followed. That I didn't realize it myself why I was behaving like that until we started this relationship. And then I think about the women in my family. How they would behave like me except 100x worse and it got worse and worse threw the years. And it led me to believe that could these women be craving the same control that I have been and not be aware of it? Could this be a need that women, by nature, want?
Now, I'm only going by my family and it might just be our thing. But sometimes I wonder when women get out of control and bitchy and angry, if it is a cry for help to be controlled from them selves. Because that's how it was with me.

What does it mean when men get "out of control and bitchy and angry," Ragtime? Is it a cry to be controlled by women? Could this be a need that men, by nature, want? Perhaps they feel they can't control themselves and they need someone to do it for them.

I think you've actually got it backwards. Women secretly have a need to be controlled by a strong but sensitive man because by nature they feel that they really can't control themselves and need someone to do it for them.

Equal pay for porn stars?
no, porn should be all unpaid.
That would be ideal, but it won't ever happen.
Why would be ideal that all porn, be it movies or still images, should be unpaid???
P0rn stars need to earn a living to, ya know!
that is circular. if there wasn't a porn industry they wouldn't be doing it for money. people are not born as porn stars; they make a choice to work in an existing industry.

i don't think it's men's fault. but it isn't women's fault either. i think it's better to work at changing society than assigning blame to blameless individuals.

Sexism is cultural, everybody's trained in it. Feminism's issue is with cultural inequality, not with men.

Sex is business though
I've never got anything in return for it as a transaction. Nor would I want to.
Well I mean think about it. How big is the sex industry? I do not mean just prostitution or porn but sex toys, books, magazines, classes, clothing, items...

If (some)women choose to wear those kinds of clothing(heels, pantyhose, etc), then technically that is their "fault". But even so it's certainly not a crime for them to dress that way, nor should it ever be.

cultural conditioning can't be solely blamed on an individual.

Does that mean there's no such thing as free will?
Attributing everything to culture conditioning creates a whole nother chicken-&-egg problem, though.
