P.S. I should say, however, after watching two repeats of the 4th Shrek movie today, Diaz does make a delightful ogre mother of three… Which actually is relevant to the discussion and quite a contrast to her comments!

She just doesn’t know many women outside Hollywood. Actors and models do focus on their looks because that’s a good part of what they are selling. She needs to instantly seem attractive to a large number of strangers in order to get work. She may honestly not realize that many other women have lives where looking “sexy” to anybody but their S.O. or looking anything but their natural selves (e.g., wearing makeup, curling or waving or straightening their hair, maintaining a tan chemically or otherwise) is just not necessary. Not all little girls want to be princesses, and not all women want to impress total strangers with their “beauty”. A lot of women are busy doing other things. Plus many of us find that being “objectified” seriously interferes with our ability to walk safely down the street and to have truly equal opportunities in our work – it’s an obstacle in our lives. But Diaz lives in a world where spending many hours every day “working out”, dealing with extensive makeup and hair styling and coloring, and plastic surgery is considered normal. It may really be incomprehensible to her that other women are lucky to find time to run a comb through their hair but still are quite happy and fulfilled and successful… Just becoming parents causes a huge shift for both men and women simply because family responsibilities are so time-consuming for those who don’t make enough money to pay others to do a lot of the work. But even without kids, life can be very full without any of the things Diaz does to keep herself marketable in her job.

She’s just desperate for everyone to see her as some sex kitten. Objectified is the wrong word to use. Admired is better.

Here here to that.

I think she is one confused woman.

She always tries to come across as a libertine and so unencumbered by traditional notions of marriage and childbearing, which always makes her sound insecure and desperate and so confused. She just strikes me as someone who has no idea what she wants and who is significantly dumber and more transparent than she thinks she is

I was grabbed once in a very crowded place. Glad my hand moved fast into his empty head. These attitudes bother me so that when I go out at night and feel crazy ” eyes on me” I put on a really pissed off butt kicking attitude and I respond accordingly. What gives any guy the right to assume I’d be interested in his advances if my behaviour does not show any sing of it? It’s like they expect all women to be flattered because they’re hitting on them or something… It’s so ridiculous… I understand that some women like it and I definetly don’t judge,but if I am enjoying a night out without bothering anyone,without any kind of provocative behaviour why do they have to bother me? Too much to drink perhaps? What a weird social interaction those kind of guys have…

I agree with you. It’s okay to want attention from men, but wanting to be an object? Crap. I guess it shows Cameron is not the smartest one around

This coming from a woman who despite her millions of dollars and sex symbol status, got breast implants to please an ex she was in a short-term relationship with. Also, remember how jacked her face looked last year after going overboard with botox. PLEASE. She is probably like most Hollywood starlets who are completely neurotic about their looks and aging.

Also, check out her recent comments concerning shaving down there: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/bj-epstein/pubic-hair-70s-bush_b_2115260.html

From the article: On Graham Norton’s talk show this weekend, Diaz revealed her shock at a friend’s “70s bush”. According to Diaz, women need to have very tidy, trimmed pubic hair. She and a group of friends nagged the woman, but to no avail. The woman’s husband got in on the act, but still she wouldn’t remove the infernal bush. Finally, Diaz and her friends apparently attacked this poor woman – who was happy and comfortable with the seaweed waving gently between her thighs – with a pair of scissors and forced her to remove her pubic hair. “We did it because we love her so much,” Diaz claimed, proud of her achievement.

I personally think what she did was disgusting and the exact opposite of what feminism is supposed to achieve for women. If her friend doesn’t want to wax or shave, she shouldn’t be made to feel undesirable or dirty from a woman who likes to be objectified by the likes of photographers such as Terry Richardson. Cameron is the one who is gross and completely devalues herself as a woman to men who only use her for their sexual fantasies, nothing more.

I think she’s fun sometimes, but this is bad.
I don’t like this side of Cameron at all
Where’s the cool, funny, surfer chick gone?
