But damn. Women make people happy. And sex sells.

This is the world. Women move the world around.
The women should now refuse to go into the park unless it is free.
The men will complain that the miniskirt women are gone
and the women will get in for free.

The water splashing...that doesn't seem so nice. I don't like the water splashing
idea.
What about wet t-shirt contests? here in the u.s. or wherever?

See, i believe that women should get paid for their service.
Prostitution should be legalized so that the woman gets all of the income and
have health care.

Other than the splashing...i don't think this is that big of a deal.


DMW-

I've received multiple reports about this post.

I think I understand you as saying that there is merit behind this theme park wanting to use women as their "marketing tool".

To answer your question, it *is* misogyny to treat women as "things" rather than people. That goes for marketing tools, non-consensual class-targeted ploys for "free" stuff, and any situation that puts a woman in a position of having her body used to "lure" people to a theme park.

I need you to understand that statements like "women make people happy" in this context feels a lot like valuing a woman as a "thing" rather than an individual human being.

Because puppies make people happy. And cars. And new shoes.

Please try to be mindful that this site is not only woman-positive but woman-honoring. We really want to dismantle socialized misogyny, rape culture, and patriarchal expectations of women on this site. I hope you'll help be part of that solution.

Thanks!
