So bizarre - all the half-naked icons on this site, pin-up pix etc., but peeps get their noses out of joint about this? I think there's a double standard here - or a blind spot.
The interviewer is rockin' that tee-shirt for a reason! She knows exactly what she's doing. She is using those assets as well as her brain, to pursue her career - you might even say she is partially 'objectifying' herself - so why not point out the obvious?
We are all objectified: women as 'sex objects' (men too sometimes - see the Calvin Klein ads), and men as 'success objects' (i.e. women are far more interested, by and large, sad but true, in a man with a flashy car, watch etc.).
I see pictures all over the subway of half naked men and women. The magazines women primarily buy are festooned with pix of women in bikinis (and also 'shaming' those women who don't have 'bikini bodies'). This is the stuff that causes real pain, especially in adolescent girls, but it totally 'acceptable' in our upside-down world.
My comment was a crude joke, one I knew I'd pay for but couldn't resist. In my house we make fun of everyone: black, white, asian, Jewish (I am Jewish, my kids are 1/2 Chinese), male, female. This may be a particularly Jewish trait: make fun of yourself, and of everyone else, to disarm the basic tragedy of so much of existence.
I like Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Richard Pryor - these guys were not 'politically correct', but they were funny! GOD how I miss the UN-PC 70's, when people weren't so damn touchy.
I grew up in a house where there were no holds barred in conversation. To me, that was part of growing up - to be able to take and give a verbal 'punch', and also to not take everything seriously, because people will say bad Sh*t, and if you let every single comment get to you, you'll go crazy.
I really don't care if women make jokes about men posturing, or not getting directions, or 'thinking with their little head' - life's too short to take every joke as a personal affront.
Obviously, I am not on my own, since a couple of similarly crude pervs 'liked' my comment too.

Actually, I know AXes aren't in any way sex objects (I'm standing by to be flamed here), but would I be right is suggesting that there aren't all that many female Axe owners? We've had threads about hot female guitarists, and I'd assumed the posters were all male (might be wrong of course), plus I haven't seen any threads listing hot male guitarists - as in "hot"... Is there an issue here?
