Do you know that the separation of labor between men and women is written in the very first cell of every human being? The Male DNA written to address questions of infrastructure, nourishment and protection and the Female DNA responsible for organizing and forming the being itself. In the first cell you see the male and female separation of tasks that is natural throughout life.
I find that fascinating.
I appreciate the article. Indeed, therein lies a great part of the foundation for the way the carnies of the Sexual Liberation crowd have you by the short hairs whether you're coming ... loudly proclaiming your "morality" (modesty and virtue) all the way to the polling place ... or going ... only to be discussing a month later the sticky tape which everyone trusts will hold the Bazoogas of the the President's daughter's in place at the Inauguration.
I think one reason everyone's got to perpetually prove how hip and "normal" they are sexually is because that's the only Third Option between the so-called rigid Morality worn into the voting booth by the GOP and the widely condemned Immorality of those *who take non-procreative sex to its logical ends* or stand ready to proclaim pride in what is their "natural" same-sex attraction just as loudly as you beat your chest about Boobies.
I have no dearth of appreciation for human sexuality. Great stuff. But I see no reason there can't be a balance, that's all. Is there no perspective such that only whores like Rosa McGowan are ripe for sticky-tape conversations while the Bush Twins command the sort of respect one accords Young Ladies ... regardless how the publicists make them sound.
(That's one of the funniest things of all about this thread ... particularly having been called on the carpet for being catty or endlessly pigeonholed somehow as a Bush-Hater. It's I who am shocked at the way GOP discuss the young women or have shots of their costume malfunctions at the ready. For me, although it lacks the crudeness and cruelty of your average comment on Chelsea, it's the same basic disrespect.
I realize Britney & Co. have forever lowered the bar on what's acceptable discourse where Young Ladies are concerned, but where's the counter-culture going to come if not from the President's daughters themselves AND his supporters? Just curious.
I have the distinct feeling that anyone fitting that counter-cultural mold -- or, like me, arguing that it should exist at all -- will be subjected to the usual hooting and hollering and Cosmo-quality psychobabble speculation (Victorian shrink-style) of the hidden memories, tragic circumstances or repressed libido has resulted in my crusade for some semblance of female modesty and manly discretion.
Do you think it's a coincidence that Veronica & Friends "joke" about my masturbating with a crucifix over at Clown Posse? There's your endgame Victorian theorizers, right there, bud. They've got it all figured out. The more I harp on what is actually "natural" ... be it female modesty or the fact that female beauty is naturally a thing to be cherished, privately enjoyed and possessively protected by males ... the more I get blowback like that from those who are certain I must be a hypocrite with the worst sort of dark seething libido since I can't possibly be innocent as the driven snow.
They just take it to a deeper level than your holding up the alleged mirror of Victorianism or IwoJima's dogging me for being "religious" yet mentioning "f-mepumps" in context.
Perhaps, given the impression the faith of the fathers naturally makes, it comes "natural" to a protestant mind that the universe is neatly compartmentalized -- either faith or reason, etc etc etc. Either a prude OR a normal girl who naturally always to look "sexy" and attract sexual attention. What a boring world that must be ... checkers of red and black moving on all or nothing squares.
Perfectly preditable, though ...
Which leads me BACK to the fact that the more you insist on pride of the Unthinking Instinct, the more delighted they are with your evolutionary progress to a perfectly predictable and utterly malleable willing slave to the most base of passions! See how simple it all is? =)
What's this Clown Posse of which you speak? Are you talking about ICP? Cuz, I'm down with ICP. Gnome sayin'? :0)
But, whatever. I just think the real reason why people give you a hard time (and I'm going to be bluntly honest here, so don't expect any sugar-coating. If it offends you, I apologize in advance, but someone's got to say what most are thinking) is not because of your Morality, or your Victorian Prudishness, or any other traits like that... I think the reason is simply because you are Nuts. I probably agree with you vis a vis morality, and declining values in Society more than I disagree, but frankly, you go waaaaaaaaay overboard.
Your Egoistc self-lauditory "I wish I wasn't so incredibly intelligent" crap is, quite frankly, nauseating, and makes you a target for mockery. A little less condescension, a little less holier-than-thou, and maybe just smidgen of a sense of proportion with regards to topics might go a long way...
But what do I know? I'm just some schmuck on an internet board, and my opinion about you doesn't, and shouldn't, matter in any way, so take my criticisms and comments for what they are actually worth - absolutely nothing :0)
