I think my image explained what I thought of your quote.
It's the typical straw man argument always employed by sexists. Claiming feminists hate sexuality. And claiming men aren't allowed to talk about attraction anymore.
I am really getting tired of this whole education thing. I thought my previous post explained my point well enough with just one image and three words. I'll let you play some more.
Günter Grass died today which made me realize I have books to read. You know... books.
And this is what's wrong. Even ignoring the sexism apparent, it's still horribly wrong to say disgusting stuff like that about anyone.
And what about the effects that comments like this have on the comfort level on women on this forum? It's not just the effect on Ms. Ryan that's in question.
Expressions of attraction? Hell no. It is perfectly fine to express your attraction to anyone. I happen to find Jewel Staite, Nikki Clyne, Nicole DeBoer, and Jennifer Lawrence all attractive. Hell, it's even permissible to compliment a fellow poster as long as it's done tastefully - and I have done so on occasion.
I appreciate the comment, but since he seems to think himself adept at providing defense to his own remarks, I'd rather hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Thanks though.
No, that line is not crossed unless the actor is a member of our site. People say rude and crass things about celebrities all of the time online. Nature of the beast unfortunately. There's no rule to say people can only post complimentary things about actors.
Nice hux. This thread went way off topic, that much is true.
Nonsense! I'd love to fuck Scarlett Johanssen
Did That offend you? Well so what
Ryan isn't even the target. His penis is the target. She simply facilitates it getting aroused and allowing him the use of a double entendre to describe his wang
And if I search the "Janeway is sexy" thread with a fine tooth comb, I will, at no point, come across any references about Mulgrew (the actress) being attractive?
Some people simply enjoy pretending to be "offended" as though that even means something
This thread tangent is "my" fault?
No, the tangent was due to {Emilia} and myself. The joke had been ignored by several posters (all was well) then suddenly, the joker was accused of sexism and entitlement by one of those people who spends their entire life "being offended"
That was the thing that brought me in
An innuendo about a woman being so attractive that she makes your penis erect neither demonstrates sexism nor entitlement. Male sexuality does not equate to female oppression (not yet anyway)
And if the double meaning offends you then so what. You being offended is meaningless drivel. It doesn't give you any rights, it doesn't mean that we must "respect" your offence, it doesn't mean that you are the victim of an injustice.
It means fuck all
Personally, I quite liked the joke but I'm British. We are raised on a diet of porridge and Carry on films
Now if you'll excuse me, there's a young man at the door who I'm paying to give my passage a good, thorough seeing to. It hasn't been serviced in such a long time.
This nets you a warning for flaming. Even though you edited the imbecile part out...
