Sexist Maxim Photo “Hacked”

By ( ) Comments

Are you familiar with those Maxim photo spreads that consist of scantily clad models lounging around while vaguely sexist slogans flit by in the background? Don’t act like you aren’t. Well, Redditor RequiemOfSyris and her roommates brilliantly turned the tables on one such Maxim pic, which consisted of The Hills star Audrina Patridge sitting half-nude on a washing machine with the charming slogan “Doesn’t every guy want to see a girl on her knees scrubbing the bathroom floor with a toothbrush while wearing lingerie?” above her.

Their addition: “I like to see a girl in the study, proof-reading her just-completed astrophysics thesis while sipping Earl-Grey tea in her tweed sweater and modest, conservative plaid pencil skirt.” Even more impressively, they actually drew glasses, clothes, and an astrophysics tome into the picture. Not only a great subversion of Maxim‘s pandery lad-mag ethos, but, in our opinion, far more attractive.

    Come on Robert Qigley. You’re the only man in this world who sees a girl in lingerie assexist. Or are you youtrying to get more readers just by censoring sexuality? Check youare not being the sexist one trying to criminalize male sexuality.
    Imagine a girl who likes to visit web sites of men in boxes and you criticise her. You’re being sexist

    No, Robert Quigley (‘u’ in it, by the way) is not being sexist by sharing this information. It’s the WORDS on the original Maxim spread that are sexist (they’re the bit above the semi-naked girl on the washing machine). Though if we’re taking the ‘sexist against men’ approach, you might want to consider the fact that suggesting “every guy” expects women to be cleaning, scantily clad and ‘in their place’ is probably more repressive against a man’s expression of himself and his sexuality than simply pointing out misogyny.
