Sticking Sex Where it Doesn’t Belong: PETA

I posted a while ago that I would start doing a series of posts titled Sticking Sex Where it Doesn’t Belong. The series starts now.

PETA is constantly undermining their own message of non-violence by showing highly sexualized women in the violent situations factory-farmed animals are put in. Naked women in cages and red bikini clad women being sexily smeared with ketchup/blood are just two examples. Over the years, they’ve come under a lot of fire for trying to hype their message (of anti-violence?) by using women as meat substitutes, but PETA just doesn’t ever seem to realize their ad campaigns negatively affect our images of women by making it sexy to think about women being subjected to violence. It’s not ok. Read more here. And then, if you think you can believe the results are real PETA ads (they are), try searching google images for “peta women.”
