Bordo: Beauty Rediscovers the Male Body

Loved it, loved it, loved it. I thought this article was fantastic and I really enjoyed Bordo's commentary. It was funny, poignant, and very honest. I loved the contrasts between male and female advertised sexuality. I really have nothing to criticize or question about Bordo's claims, or the tactics she used to get there. I really enjoyed her discussion of the male body - it was very honest and arousing and quite thought provoking. It's also nice to see a new medium, such as male consumer-driven sexuality and appearance, being explored and questioned. Great article.
