"demanding harmful/painful practices"

Hey, if you don't happen to like a particular grooming choice, and if it helps you feel better than the people who do by writing them off as idiots and porn fiends, go nuts. You won't be right, but you'll have a feeling of moral superiority about your pubic hair...which is important to some people...I guess.

Overused? Yes. Crude? Certainly. Offensive? Not really.

"Insisting that a woman remove the signs of adulthood from the very region that establishes her womanhood is problematic. "

I agree, but my point stands. If you go by that standard alone, every man who is attracted to skinny women, women with large breasts, blondes, women with long legs, or anyone who is "conventionally" attractive, is a misogynist. At a certain point, you have to accept that people are not so utterly and completely…

"YOU are trying to influence a woman to groom her pubic region in accordance with YOUR preferences"

Has Jezebel picked up on this one yet?

No, you're saying that guys who have a specific preference (little to no hair) are motivated by porn obsession and misogyny. You're taking a preference that you either don't agree with or don't share (because apparently you "don't really have any") and drawing a huge generalization by saying that anyone who does have…

If it's the first time, a lot of guys will be so happy to be granted access that they won't care (or, if they do, they won't complain). Generally speaking, though, it's better to keep things, as other commenters have pointed out, "neat." You don't need to shave. You don't even need to do a "landing strip." But…

Okayyyy, everyone's allowed to have their preferences, and saying that guys who have one (or have one you don't agree with) are "porn-fed misogynists" is pretty out of line.

Well, we watched it at home, so there wasn't a whole lot of weirdness. It just isn't a very good movie. The stripping is actually the most watchable thing in it, because when the actors stop dancing and open their mouths to speak...yeesh.

Haha. Ditto.

Yeah, it wasn't terrible in the way that the Twilight movies are (hey, speaking of, where is that on the list?), but it was achingly dull. I felt like I was watching the first few episodes of a big budget TV series that I knew wasn't going to make it to a second season.

My wife similarly refuses to read Game of Thrones, even though she loves the show. She really needs to see the boobs for the story to come alive for her.

Don't worry. You don't really get that from the books either.

Ouch. That movie is pure cinematic anesthesia.

[After my wife and I watched The Hunger Games]

This stuff happens literally every year or two. Maximum Carnage, the Clone Saga, the Other, One More Day, that god-awful Iron Spider armor, etc., etc... If the creative team isn't constantly shitting the bed, then it's just not Spider-Man.
