Spike is and always will be a complete asshole. At least when Angel was sneaking into Buffy's room at night, he was one of the bad guys.

    Poor thing. Though I kinda feel like we should be saying, 'Told you so.'
    'Told you' that in actuality, Edward is a creepy old guy who wants to get it on with virginal teenagers and not a super-sexy boyfriend-hero.

    @Zombie Ms. Skittles: Back when Party of Five was on (this dates me, I know) I felt vaguely guilty about my attraction to Bailey. I found out that he was actually 26, which was sort of a mixed blessing, because it was then okay to find him sexy... but then I had to face the fact that I was the same age and there was no way in hell I could pass for a teenager.

    @KatyLou: This site has a fine tradition of posting articles on how horrible it is to objectify women then posts images and articles that do exactly the same thing to men.

    Here are a couple of examples:
    [jezebel.com]

    [jezebel.com]

    The gist being sexualizing:

    17 year old girl = BAD!!!
    19 year old girl = bad

    17 year old boy = just expressing ourselves.

    Honestly I don't mind the older women getting hot and bothered over some shirtless himbo. It's natural to be attracted, no matter who it is.

    I just wish there was a little more introspection when it comes to this. It makes it easy to ignore positions on these things when you have obvious examples of hypocricy.

    @NerD: Blattella: You do realize all other things aren't equal, right? In other words, you're not dehumanizing the male gender by sexualizing a representative of that group. That's because sexuality hasn't been used to dehumanize them on the basis of gender the way it has with women and girls (Mind you, men and boys of color have been dehumanized but it's mostly based on race).

    For example, look at race: you can see all sorts of white males being arrested on Cops and that won't cause you to dehumanize them as a group the way it would to see a string of black men being arrested on those same charges.

    I know it's way late, but still it's off to think that they're the same thing.

    @Andalucía: Yeah, that is the basic explanation that is always used when this happens (we are sexualizing ALL 17 year old boys, just this one).

    Except the examples I listed were talking about two specific girls (Miley Cyrus and Emma Watson), and then generalizing to suit their argument.

    If you are going to have a double standard, know you have a double standard. Don't parse.
