Sarah Jessica Parker Un-Sexy?

Maxim's 5 Un Sexy Women an Insult to Women Everywhere

Sarah Jessica Parker is upset. Britney Spears is upset. Madonna is upset. Sarah Oh is upset and Amy Winehouse is drunk. All five women were named on Maxim's "5 Un-sexiest Women On The Planet."

Apparently Maxim, the magazine for men, feels compelled to label women as "un-sexy." So much so that they decided to devote an entire issue to insulting these five women. Despite what you may think about Sarah Jessica Parker or the others, they are human beings.

Sarah Jessica Parker is understandably hurt at this insult. Britney Spears is supposedly devastated as well. The other three women were also upset. Madonna is probably crying...all the way to the bank.

It's bad enough that men's magazines such as Maxim feel compelled to treat women like pieces of meat by using photographs of women are considered "sexy" in a variety of sexually suggestive poses. While Maxim is not like Playboy (can't even come close) it embodies a lot of the Playboy mentality of using women as props.

Let's take a look at Sarah Jessica Parker. A former child star who is now a successful actress. She played Carrie in "Sex In The City" and was very convincing. Is she a great beauty? No - but she is attractive. And seems smart. Madonna? Who is smarter than her? She dragged herself up from nothing to become an icon. Amy Winehouse? Talented beyond all get out. Britney Spears? She's is STILL PRETTY and always was. To label her as "unsexy" is wrong. I have no idea who Sarah Oh is, but judging from the other faces on this list, I'm sure Maxim was way off with this, too.

Women's magazines seem to focus on "how to get a man." If you read Cosmopolitan or any other magazine geared towards single women, it is all about "pleasing men.

Men's magazines seem to be all about objectifying women. Where is the feminist outcry?

If I had money, I would start my own magazine that objectifies men. It could be entitled "Gooddigger." We could label the 5 most un-sexy men in Hollywood and anywhere else. We can objectify them by their actions, lack of money, lack of ambition, lack of hair and paunchy body shape.

Why do only the women get subjected to this bullshit?...How about a list of unsexy men? As for SJP, well, she's not the prettiest, but there are a few other Hollywood women who don't look nearly as good as she does!

I copied the statement below to respond to it. - I think that person is right. Let Maxim say what it wants. I don't have to buy the stupid magazine, and I don't. Let the frat boys have their fun on someone else's time and money.

"Hey. I don't see anything wrong with Maxim's article. When a person puts themselves out on the public sphere, its all fair game. Sometimes when I am with friends I am made to watch that 'Sex and the City' and I hate it. When I'm trying to read the news, I have to hear about the new movie. I'm not saying that its hurtful or such a bad thing...but with that kind of exposure comes the fact that people who really dislike you are going to have a look. And guess what, Maxim is a private forum.. you don't have to read it. I am sure most of the magazines subscribers were saying "FINALLY!! Someone said what I've been thinking!! This is why I purchase Maxim and not 'Variety' magazine!!". So don't act so hurt. She's a public figure who pulls in millions. You can't have her kind of exposure/success without a large number of people thinking unkindly of you (for whatever reason).. if enough people do think that of you they have a right to express their views in their own private forums.

I think it's Sandra Oh, and she is ugly as hell. And by ugly, I mean TV ugly, like Parker. She's rated the ugliest on CuteHoneys.com as well (http://www.cutehoneys.com/honey/Sarah_Jessica_Parker/), even Hillary Clinton's rating is twice that of Parker's.

YES, Jessica Parker is SEXI because she represents the real female beauty. America is proud of her charmy smile and gorgeous personality. She is the ambassador of real women that accept their own body without changes. She has a high self-steem. I support her beauty and sex-appeal...MAXIM always sucks!!!!!!!!!!

Nice article and I too like Sarah Jessica. And I agree there is no such thing in Hollywood as bad publicity.

I remember on "Family Guy", Peter Griffin remarked that Sarah Jessica-Parker's face "looked like a foot". Although I laughed at that, I heard about the Maxim survey, and I about flipped. How could SJP be on a list like that? Sure, she's no Marylin Monroe, but she's no Rosie O, either! As far as the survey goes, I do think it's silly to rate people's looks like that (said the shaved white ape).

I would picked them too... except for Sarah Jessica Parker. She's cute ;)
