See, this is not "sexy." This has a sense of humor. This is playing on aspects of human bodies that half the population has and having fun with it. It's tongue-in-cheek.

Yes, it's a sexist argument all the way down. Apparently we are to believe that names in themselves are male, that names can never be fully owned by women. (Because my last name is my father's, and even if my mother changes her name as well, it's not "really" hers, so neither I nor my mother have names that we can…

Other points that came up in a reply I wrote elsewhere:

The argument that "well, you're just going from your father's name to your husband's name" is stupid (sorry, it is). If more women stopped passing on their husbands' names to their children, the names wouldn't just be fathers' but mothers' as well, which would resolve the problem, so that response is ultimately…

This is, for the most part, a great article that voices some thoughts I've had for a long time, but haven't seen questioned much. A few other points I have:

Thank you.

Yes, and what if you have a partner who basically can't have penetrative sex with you (because he comes right away)? It's a problem, if you like having sex that way (as I do, and as many other women do). And having experienced it for a year, it's not something I'd be willing to put up with again — vibrators, fingers,…

Thanks for speaking for all of us (some of whom really like — and depend on — penetrative sex).

Yep. You're right.

"Your pussy is amazing. Better than any other pussy I've experienced."

I mean, it's Twitter.

She's right, though. "Awesome Annie Liebovitz and I [are] taking a selfie." At the very least, it's an ambiguous case. No use pillorying her over it.

"Awesome Annie Liebovitz and I [are] taking a selfie."

That's just wrong... http://www.wikihow.com/Choose-Between…

I can see that. I didn't love them either, I've just gotten sick of everyone hating on them when they seem pretty well-intentioned. I don't like seeing people get discouraged from thinking creatively and I get more defensive as a result.

I think your version of things sounds highly unethical. This was never scientifically rigorous, and again, what about the possibility that being watched could make the experiment *more* interesting than it would have been otherwise? Did "Supersize Me" have no value because the whole thing was filmed? What about "Hoop…

Because this project captivated more people, became more popular, and therefore incurred a backlash. Performance art usually isn't popular. Anyway, if something helps people get more insight into their own situation, if it helps people think more critically, (which, from what I can tell, this project succeeded at…

Being filmed IS making it into art, so your criticism makes no sense. And they didn't film everything, just a few moments here and there; for the most part they wrote summaries of what had happened that day — similar to what you would do in a lab or gathering evidence in a psychology study from questionnaires. Is…

I'm so sick of all the snark on this project. These two are both involved in the art world, and from the perspective of performance art, this project really isn't that overshare-y (they probably didn't anticipate it becoming as popular as it did). Their posts show genuine self-awareness and give insight into the…

For the record, I disagreed. ("I disagree. I think her input was valuable and I was glad to hear about it. It's not like her writing a comment is taking away any space from other individuals with prison experiences. It's not like my appreciating her comment takes away from my possible appreciation of someone else's…
