The article you linked to is pretty specific about why it is objectification which you seem to have completely ignored. The faces and names and from which country or team they play in is missing and the shots do not have anything at all to do with actual play. Since NBC had exclusive rights to the Olympics they were…

Is one patriarchal rule bullshit and the other is not?

Excellent point. When I've come across studies that were concluded only by male anthropologists their findings were always slanted according to their perception, like never finding value in the women they studied and some how always able to find prostitution in some form or another(an exaggeration but not far off). I…

Pavement is bad for horse hooves. So I've heard.

No one accounts for the level of propaganda pumped into marriage. In its inception marriage was a construct for control of property which included women. Then the church decided to get in on the deal and grab some of that human control real estate and added marriage to its portfolio. Although we dress it up and make…

Actually many Native American Nations had a good life balance thing happening before that was all ruined.

My those are some big nipples ya got there!!!

It is more likely than not that Whitney was in a romantic relationship with Robyn. Cissy is just this side of admitting her daughter was in a lesbian relationship. Like it just dawned on her that it would be better to have a lesbian (or bisexual) daughter than a dead daughter.

Agreed. Seems like common porn sense. As I've said before on this thread; porn has not adjusted to its new audience: women.

I'm learning about manga, mostly from this thread. Please pardon my ignorance. I must say that here in the US (not sure where you are from) there is a such thing as faux female porn which is to say that it is all a bait and switch and actually just bullshit male porn. I jumped to conclusion because I have been tricked…

What Jennyrotten said.

Did you choose to be a stay-at-home-mom or was it forced upon you, big difference.

I agree 100%. I think the problem is that porn is still 99.99% by men for men and has barely if at all adjusted for growth in female viewers. It's still as misogynist as it was back in the stone age when Hugh Hefner got his first hard-on.

We don't have a monarchy here in the US but I imagine that having one is far less worse than the welfare queens we have here in the banking industry, Wall Street, the military industrial complex and the oil industry. They burn through more of our tax dollars and are more destructive than any monarchy currently in…

Me thinks Ann Friedman is a shit stirrer.

You are just flailing and failing all over the place. She at no time excused Mel Gibson for his actions. What she said is that you don't abandon your friends when they are at their darkest. She admitted he is at a very low point and never condoned his behavior but just stated why she is sticking by him as a friend…

Thank you.

She's young, at the top of her career and enjoying her dating life if she were male, like a lot of rappers dating around, she would be called a Playa. Why should it be any different because she is a woman? As far as her using her dating life as the subject of her music how is that any different than a rapper drawing…

It's been explained to me that this is female erotica. Not sure that I'm interested in continuing to have to view half naked women all the time. Not sure if you live in America but tits and ass (sorry) are constantly being shoved down our throats all the time in the media. I'd like an opportunity to view the male form…

Where can straight women go to look at the beautiful male form? There are few to no sites for straight women to view exceptionally good looking men. So the default for me ends up looking on gay sites. If you look at straight porn the camera does its best not to show too much of the males and focuses mostly on the T&A…
