They do. I didn't make that point very clear. That was my fault on my part.
Look I can't be expected to be brainy before 2pm.

I was going to go for that gag, then realised there are a lot of mutants on this forum and that it was too possible to be funny.

Say that again to my three faces.

Is that when your neighbour puts on the stereo extra loud to drown you out!

I'm so hurt. How can you say that? I'm lovely.
And if any of you f**kers say otherwise, I will shit in your shoes.
Quote: sootyj @ February 8 2012, 11:55 AM GMTI think one of the charms of this place is how much the moderators don't get involved unless really needed.
Agreed. Very refreshing to see a social networking site being mainly moderated by the contributors arguments rather than by the more conventional site moderators personal agenda-driven disruptive abuse of their responsibility. 
We love our mods.
Shame there aren't any sexy photos of them.
If a woman chooses (which, of course, she has every right to do) to pose naked for pictures - fine and I've no doubt that she would be prepared for responses
from certain people. She's 'signed up' for that.
If a woman has a career as a TV presenter she hasn't...and to have men describe what they imagine her genitals look like is not what she, reasonably, expects to happen. It doesn't, obviously, detract from her but the man who says it.
Now I know that people will also choose to become hugely defensive with people who disagree with what someone else says on an internet forum... but to suggest that someone is 'humourless' or 'a killjoy' for not finding what they spout is, clearly, ridiculous.
It's easy and very lazy to say that people don't 'get' your joke and it's their fault because they don't have a sense of humour. The fact is we DO get the 'joke' and it's just not funny. I've seen things written on here that people are dressing up as 'edgy' or 'ironic' that I have heard said 35 years ago in the school playground and it wasn't funny then.
Maybe before the 'warriors' on here decide they want to jump all over me (though
it's more sly little digs now because they don't seem to have the confidence to say what they mean, directly to me) think of this...
If you have to use the little cartoon faces to 'explain' that what you're
saying is meant to be funny...perhaps, just maybe, then it's not funny.
Yes, RC I began this debate so hardly fair to evacuate now is it? I assure you I 'don't love it' you are some what deluded in your beliefs. Indeed I wouldn't
purport to 'understanding' your 'world view' on feminism and equal rights in the 21st century, so kindly refrain from predicting mine.
Roo, you have negated a major factor in your argument, Men own and run the Porn business -women are just a commodity, the sooner you understand this dichotomy the more you will understand the politics of subjectivism at its most basic level.
It's a complex one. When ever anyone does something that can be viewed as exploitative be it selling organs, working in unsafe conditions or posing naked. You have to ask is it a real choice, or a choice born of limited options (my current fave book Never Let Me Go got me thinking on this).
Personally I absolutely loath how many TV shows are presented by twinkly old bloke and bubbly totty. Fearing the day the crystal in her palm turns black.
Aparent choice is the most iniquitous form of opression. In the most opressive states, the victims are forced to sign confessions to show they comply with whats being done to them. The current breast plant farago raises awkward questions about choices that are available and how meaningful they are.
