Dont they have a man-shaped corkscrew? That would so complete the set..
this is beyond sick

That disgusting product makes me glad that I don't drink.

Does someone sit at home and think "You know this (pencil, bottle, whatever) looks almost sorta phallic! I bet we could market something shaped like a woman to use with it." ?

At least it doesn't have a rape setting like the pencil sharpener. That thing scares the hell out of me.

At least this one doesn't scream things like "no! get out of me you old man!" like the other one did. At least it's not a rape toy like the other.

But it's still creepy..

Ok this thing is just fucking stupid. Even putting on my misogynist on, I can't find this funny. At least her legs aren't open or something even more crude.

Well... at least she's got a head...?

Is it just me, or is the part where the bottle is supposed to go is a little too far away from her vagina? It looks like they have it positioned on her thigh instead of near her vagina.

So whoever made this is not only misogynist, but also ignorant about basic female anatomy.

not only that, but what's up with the dress that parts open in the back? i have never seen a dress that does that before. seems like a cheap way to get her ass in on the ogling fun.

but seriously, it is very difficult for me to believe that there are guys out there who would actually find this weird thing sexy, leading me to the conclusion that the humor must be based in derision.

I totally disagree that this is as bad as the pencil sharpener or the pen holder. The pen holder had things she said that made it clear she was being raped, and the pencil sharpener was headless and bolted down for a huge pointed wooden stick to be jammed in her. Both *really*strongly implied rape.

The bottle opener is on top, with her hands in her lap, moaning. She's not bound in any way, and it's hard to rape a woman in the woman-on-top position (possible, but difficult.) So she's much more coded as a woman who's enjoying sex. She's also not disembodied -- she has a face -- and she's fully dressed. So really, most of the things that were wrong with the other devices are not a problem with this one, and I don't see it as misogynist so much as mildly irritating.

I'm going to agree with both Izzy and MyBabyPanda:

1) At least it doesn't have a rape setting. Allow me a moment to weep that those words were ever typed.

2) I don't see the appeal, even to a misogynist. Several of you have said: "at least she's not naked". My question then becomes: why not? Who exactly are they marketing this to? The demographic generally interested in a bottle opener that looks like a woman having an orgasm from opening a bottle with her nethers generally isn't interested in evening gowns. Does the designer have a thing for flip-up-the-skirt quickies or something?

I don't think these are about hate; I think they're about frustrated desire. These toys are about sexual disempowerment, a subtle (or, in the case of the pencil sharpener, not at all subtle) sexual enslavement fantasy. It's a nasty kind of pornography: the woman who cannot say no.

Men who demean and dehumanize women are rarely motivated by hate; it's more subtle than that. Frustrated with their own inability to attract, they fantasize about using (or, in the sociopathic case, use) coercion.

In that light, I don't think this one is as bad as the pencil sharpener or pen holder. The latter two are clearly rape fantasies. Here the dress makes her appear merely sexually submissive -- not healthy, but not nearly as sociopathic as the sexual coercion embodied in the other two.

Please don't think I'm in any way condoning these nasty toys -- they're demeaning, dehumanizing, and humiliating. But I think that by calling it misogyny ("hatred of women"), you give men an out: "I don't hate women," he exclaimed. When instead you call a man on being sexually frustrated, well, you hit him right on the bullseye.

When I first saw that, I couldn't figure out why someone would want a pooping woman opening their beer.

Maybe this reveals a terrible dearth of experience on my part, but that just doesn't look at all like a sexual position to me.

Not only are these products misogynistic, they are just stupid. Who are they trying to sell this crap to?

My first thought was "ouch." Just thinking of someone, even a plastic person, prying off a beer cap with their bare butt is scary.

Dondo, just because men can claim they don't hate women doesn't mean the label "misogynist" isn't accurate.
Why would men want to control, dominate, and humiliate a group of people they didn't hate? If it's not hate, it's still dehumanization and objectification. It's failing to relate to women as fellow people. We're just playthings who exist for male pleasure.

See, at my now-previous job I used to sell "orgasm bottle-openers" -- but they looked like nothing more than bottle openers. The joke was that you open a bottle, this loud moaning and panting starts up, and everyone who hadn't noticed the speaker on the bottle opener suddenly looks around wondering, "Where is THAT coming from?" Those things actually did make a lot of customers laugh, and sold equally to men and women.

This thing, on the other hand? Stupid. And, as someone pointed out, it looks more like she's taking a crap than having sex.

When I saw that at first I thought it was a dildo accessory and said to myself... OUCHIE!

I think she looks less likes shes moaning and more like she's pooping. Especially with her butt sticking out like that.

Thats a great image to open your beer with! She poops out the caps!

Pooply yours,
Poop
