The Brazilian website Manual do Canalha (The Jerk Manual) teaches men how to objectify women, how to treat them like crap as often as possible as an aphrodisiac and compiles a barrage of sexist jokes. The site features instances of female objectification in the Brazilian media (a full-time job, I'd imagine), of course, not as a watchdog, but as an instigator. It also compiles video of "stupid" things women say on TV and photos of "ugly women".
The picture above accompanied an advice-post that gave men the following suggestion: "Don't be very romantic. See that little heart of hers? It's cute and we still shit on it." The posts seem to spring out of the very Brazilian truism which says that the worse men treat women, the more women want them. Unfortunately, sites like these in Brazil are likely to provoke the "Oh, men being men" reaction more so than outrage. Something they may share with Italians concerning Belusconi's antics.
