AIBU to think this is not OK?

I'm looking, on eBay, for a 'small lamp'. This keeps appearing, from various sellers (but all around the same high price). Really? There are no male torso lamps - and definitely no specifically 'minority' torso lamps. In 2017 is it really still OK to have this sort of thing? Jeffrey Dahmer would be ecstatic, wouldn't he?

AIBU to think this is not OK?

Eh? I'm lost, I'm afraid. And Jeffrey Dahmer is dead, so...

What am I missing?

TheNiffler · 09/01/2017 00:50

Huh? It's red, it's non-minority, unless you're sunburnt.

TheNiffler · 09/01/2017 00:51

2017's Must Have. A mosaic minority torso lamp. Catchy.

What's wrong with it?

OutToGetYou · 09/01/2017 00:52

Dunno if you're being unreasonable but you're certainly being a bit bananas.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 09/01/2017 00:52

I think they're over charging.

EagleIsland · 09/01/2017 00:52

It's a lamp, if you don't like it don't get it.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 09/01/2017 01:01

Here's some nice male torso lamps, OP.

These ones are lovely.

What if a lesbian wants it for her bedroom, is it still unacceptable?

Women are beautiful, even to other straight Women and Gay Men and naked men can be a bit intimidating and not really sexy.

I don't like these because they are too 'obvious', but if that's your taste, then so be it.

I want the guy with horns!

MommaGee · 09/01/2017 01:04

Sorry link o lots of different coloured albeit female bust lamps

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 09/01/2017 01:06

'Momma' the guy with the horns also covers the minority aspect.

Fawns? What was Mr Tumminus?

MommaGee · 09/01/2017 01:06

So yup, yabu

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 09/01/2017 01:07

If you must post this tripe, go do it on the feminism board.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 09/01/2017 01:10

Ha!

Totally replacing my anglepoise with this.

LauderSyme · 09/01/2017 01:21

I totally get where you're coming from. The objectification of women's bodies is hideously ubiquitous in our society.
But I also think there's a long history of classical figurative art and sculpture that you may be overlooking.
TheThings that was rude and patronising.
