The AVN (American Adult Industry) Awards

Could there be anything more repugnant than the AVN Awards? If women do not see realize what this is presently doing to them and eventually doing to millions of women around the world, then what gives!

Most men have "used" women as their servant, wives, sexual objects, etc., all in the  name of "loving women." Is this really loving us, or hating us?

Recently Hugh Hefner said last year that women, indeed, "are sex objects." This man, the owner of PlayBoy magazine, has been criticized for decades for his treatment of women. By stating that "women are sex objects," Hefner devalues women's worth and further places women in a category of an object that you can use, abuse, throw to the side, and dispose of at his convenience. Why do we stand for this? Are we (women) so concerned about not being liked that we stay quiet? What would you do if your daughter was a "Playmate?" If you looked at the PlayMate website, you would be horrified.

If you were a father, would you like to see your daughter receive an AVN Award? Or, would you rather have your daughter be an attorney, a doctor, a lawmaker, etc. Do you care?

The companies that sponsored this event should be called upon and not supported, not if you cared about our girl and women in America. The Palms Casino Resort, the owner of this event AVN Media Networks and any company that paid for it is a company that supports misogyny. Have you ever wondered why are women's bodies exploited and men's bodies hidden and revered? Perhaps the answer lies in the saying "size does matter" and allowing millions of women to realize the reality behind the saying may open up their eyes in a larger way. If there are adult TV shows depicting the penis, they make sure that it is a large penis, otherwise you're cut from it, no pun intended.
