Oh I know. I just think that we can all agree that quite a lot of men would really like to receive more unsolicited pics of female genitalia. The divergent preferences are really interesting to me.

I'm really confused about your whole 'fear and respect' for 'female parts' thing under 'penalty of their own lives'. So...no, I don't get it. I'd like to, though!

Well, I know a lot of people concerned with a little thing called: the survival of a habitable planet faced with ecological devastation due to overpopulation. I also know a lot of people that witness high fertility rates negatively affect the social, economic and environmental well-being of many cultures. We enact…

OH. For some reason, that wasn't clear to me. But I'd say that the government has continually wavered on this front, and certainly fails to provide proper financial support. My hypothetical includes government action such as legal decisions discussed in the article, but it is really intended to implicate those of us…

NOT THE SAME.

I'm a former employee of the UN, and I'm pretty (and sadly) familiar with the content and enforceability of our current human rights conventions.

An artfully placed hand is always nice.

I think that your reply is well put. But I think that the tension between states' rights and federal oversight are constantly being renegotiated. For instance, we see states defying federal law in terms of state majorities in favor of gay marriage and legal marijuana. I wonder if the people that pronounce these moves…

War implies armed and violent conflict. What I'm talking about here is exactly the forms of 'soft' coercion that are happening here and abroad.

I would like to stop for a moment to commend you on our artful redirection of this comment thread toward the wild and wacky world of animal genitalia.

Well, and I never really said anything about war. But we do tend to influence the laws policies of states both foreign and domestic in terms of women's rights. We've been tinkering with that stuff in the Middle East since our military occupation of several decades now.

More bush (as in, bushy eyebrows) for ME.

Janet needs to watch 89 videos of cats fornicating with ducks. I think the responses would be much more entertaining.

I see your point. But couldn't we also say that a region with a culture that believes that an act (in this case, abortion) is wrong and unethical, that this culture has a right to make laws and govern in a manner conducive to their majority held cultural beliefs.

But that's not really the point, is it? The point is: some cultures believe that abortion is wrong. If these cultures form a majority within a sovereign territory such as a state or country, and therefore have a right to govern themselves, as many do, what are our shared intentions (as pro-choice and pro-health…

We've gone to war with other countries because they didn't believe in our god or our capitalism or our right to colonize and imperialize and exploit their land and people for a near infinite variety of reasons.

I'm responding in a comedic manner to the 'men' that fear the various female genitalia and cunnilingus by characterizing them as children, and then stigmatizing intercourse with these 'men' that I've infantilized, and then further prohibiting intercourse with them by making it 'illegal'.

You know, I totally agree with you, Ukelele90. It's been made abundantly clear that most straight women do not like being randomly exposed to unsolicited dic pics. And as such, it is certainly a form of sexual assault (other people can argue to what degree).

I'm just wondering.

Oh honey, those aren't men. Those are children. And pedophilia is illegal.
