Sexy art is dirty?

Well gee, you figured out that there is some symbology in these 40's and 50's poster art. Aren't you clever! However what you choose to interpret into the symbology is your own fearmongering and "political correctness" of the downtrodden "minority". Sexual innuendo? Sure. Rape? I don't think so. You see, I remember when just exposing a knee was considered sexy. This art was considered racy and risque by the prudes of that era. I wonder what interpretation you would dream up for "Rosey the Riveter"? -- downtrodden victim of the white male war machine?

Have you listened to any popular music lately? Get some perspective. Even the successful women who have control over their careers are flaunting their sexuality because they realize they are happy sexual beings.

Also, women's magazines are some of the worst offenders of this kind of symbology and stereotyping. But it's the "powerful white men" doing all this to you isn't it? They have brainwashed all us women into buying this crap, right? If it were only that simple....
