Prompt: Stanford students are widely known to possess a sense of intellectual vitality. Tell us about an idea or an experience you have had that you find intellectually engaging.
Here's the intro:
I wonder about the future sexualization of men. It is an undeniable fact that women are often portrayed by the media as objects to be used by men. With the rising gay movement, is it possible that men will be used to sell objects just as frequently as women? In today's politically correct world, should viewing other humans as tools to one's pleasure even be an acceptable action? The use of an physical attractiveness to encourage others to purchase a product could be seen as a demeaning action where the body is abused for commercial profit. Since this issue is less discussed by male groups, I look to feminists for their positions on the subject.
