Yahoo Movies Asks: Is There A Double-standard In Hollywood?……?
The question was asked because of the outrage over Miley Cyrus’ photos a year ago and the fact that Lautner in the new Twilight movies is only two years older than Miley was then, and he is appearing shirtless (and in a very sexy manner) in the Twilight movies. I think there IS a double-standard in Hollywood. Boys and men have always (and in every field/society/culture) been held to a different set of standards. That’s why people feel it’s no big deal for a boy to be shirtless in a movie/commercial in a overtly sexy manner, but then feel complete disdain when a girl “appears” to be shirtless in the name of art/photography. I thought Miley’s photos were tasteful and were not sexually exploitative. I don’t think those photos were any worse than the tiny shorts she wears in her latest video, the pole she danced on that award show, or her kissing scenes on Hanna Montanna. I think people expect for girls to act more responsible, but why? Shouldn’t we ALL be responsible. Then people expect for young stars to be role models, when really, SHOULDN’T WE BE OUR KIDS ROLE MODELS? I mean, we don’t know those young stars personally, we don’t know what kind of values they were raised with and we can’t trust T.V. execs to always write/produce/make shows, stars or programs with our kids’ best interest in mind. Young stars should not be looked up to as role models, they are only entertainers. And who cares if Miley’s parents think it’s okay for her to be topless in a magazine, those are her parents’ values… has nothing to do with the rest of us. Sit your kids down and tell them why they shouldn’t follow the example of certain stars or why certain actions are okay for stars and maybe not okay for your kids…. and anyway, doesn’t ALL young boys go around topless anyway? What’s the big deal? Am I right (which I rarely appear to be) or am I wrong (which I always seem to be)? What do you think?

Yes, Hollywood really discriminate Asian men, when was the last time you saw a hollywood film where an asian guy played a normal role? Hollywood always like to make fun of asian guys by making them extremely dorky and/or ugly. Asian guys always play geeks or the crazy high flying karate guy. You know, there are lots of asian american men that are born right here in the USA that do not talk with an Asian accent. Why can’t Hollywood try to be more positive and have an asian guy play a regular role?

Girls have *breasts*. Men don’t. Breasts won’t pass censorship. I don’t know why…every other moral fiber in the fabric of our society has been destroyed…why not this one as well?

That’s just the way the world works, dude.
Theres a big bouncy, different between a guy shirtless and a girl topless (or POLE DANCING..jeez)
Girls get taken advantage of. Plain and simple and that’s what makes it different. A women oggling a 17 yeat old Lautner is different than a grown man oggling a 15 year old Cyrus in booty shorts and lifting up her shirt with her teeth, or in the shower, or in her underwear, or almost kissing some chick, or on her bed in her undies and the list goes on.
