'One Tree Hill' Aftergasm: Feminism and Half-Naked Men
Article here. Excerpt:
'In today’s society, women are still objectified as sexual playthings. From Hooters to strip clubs and prostitution to GoDaddy.com Super Bowl ads, depicting women as nothing more than sexual objects is sadly still around
Thankfully, One Tree Hill shines as a beacon of feminism in an otherwise male-dominated society. It might seem odd, but looking back at the history of the series, it’s always been a place where it’s the male stars who are made into sexual objects.
...
While other shows might focus on the sexy women, stripping them down to bikinis to parade around the screen, One Tree Hill does the same thing with its men. James Lafferty has seemingly spent about half his time on the show without a shirt. Whether he’s playing basketball, walking around the house, or participating in the Boy Toy Auction, the show keeps him as naked as possible as often as possible.'
