And that you find objectification and sexualization to be amusing.

Just sayin.

No offense intended of course. Just saying sumfin needs to be said. Better than shutting up about it.

I've been buying some anti-aging creams lately and this popped up as a suggestion. I thought, wtf? And then I read the spoof reviews and thought, this is funny stuff.

I think the device is ridiculous and worthy of laughing at. For that matter, the anti-aging creams I bought might very well be just as ridiculous.

I'm a woman, in case you were wondering.

And no offense taken. I've been fighting against sexualizarion and objectification all my life, from the time I was raped as a five-year-old, through the time I was raped by a fellow Army Officer, to the present day.

What I found funny in this case was the gap between cultures. This product would not be sold in its present form by anyone familiar with US culture (including the sex toy industry) but this is the kind of hilarious thing that can happen when cultures collide.

I thought it was funny at that level. If you really think I should, I will self-delete the post. I would appreciate a reply. Thank you.
