This organization is using male sex symbols posing in provocative ways for a calendar to raise money for domestic violence awareness and domestic violence surviors. I think it is very uplifting that men are taking a stand to for women and helping raise awareness of domestic vioence. On one hand however, I was very taken back by the fact they are using them as sex symbols in provocative manners to raise this awareness. It just seems very ironic. But as the founder of the Hunks4Hope says in the interview, they are doing this because sex sells. On the other hand though I think it is good that these men are standing up and putting themselves into the role of women and in a way objectifying themselves. Its nice to see the tables turned to men for a change. Instead of seeing women as a sex object. In all I thought this was an interesting way of raising awareness and money for domestic violence of women.
