Paragraph 1: The existence of some male models in sexualized poses doesn't negate the claim that we see women in these poses more often, and fewer pictures of women in any other kind of pose.
Paragraph 2: I reiterate that if Marilyn Monroe has or had a substantial female fan base, I've never...
Yeah, I'm not at all in favour of incarceration in any circumstances other than when the offender poses a serious risk to the safety of others. Otherwise, I just don't see the point of it. I believe the consequence of any wrongdoing should have some logical connection to the wrongful act, like...
Note that I said "more likely", not "universally true in every circumstance", so your anecdote is not an effective rebuttal.
If you don't see that the social pressures on boys and girls when it comes to sex are vastly different, usually resulting in very different sexual behaviour, then we're...
That's exactly my point. If the genders were reversed, it would be far more likely that the student was pressured or coerced into the affair, rather than an eager and willing participant. And that is why public reaction would be different. Not because of some irrational, anti-male double standard.
Given that one in five north American women are sexually assaulted by men at some point, I believe the ubiquitous depiction of women as passive objects for male sexual gratification in our culture is worth both contemplating and discussing. There may or may not be a connection there, but since...
Maybe, but if the genders were reversed, the details of the affair would be very different as well. It's not at all likely that a teenage girl would seek out and enthusiastically participate in such a tryst due to enormous social pressure for women to be chaste and avoid risky situations with...
He was 16 or something, wasn't he? I know the age of consent varies, but I don't think a 16 year old should be assumed to be not ready for sex just because of his age. That happens to be the legal age of consent in Canada. Used to be 14. I was 17 myself, and started later than most of my peers...
I never retaliated either. I still have great affection for my childhood church, and Jesus, and the positive work my denomination does in advancement of social justice, and the moral foundation, and the free singing lessons, and the bake sales and what not. I just didn't end up believing in any...
Incorrect. It was zazen meditation that enlightened me to the fact that gods are fictional. I've been into my mind and taken a good hard look at the "evidence" therein.
What a rambling mess of sophistry and ad hominem this is. As RFs voluntary editor, allow me to pare this novella down to the essence of the message you are trying to convey:
Atheists are stinky bum bums, nanny nanny boo boo.
There, I think that covers all the points you've raised. Let the...
Lol. Mrs. Badger is quite a wit. :D If you want pictures of hunky half naked men looking ready to bang, image search Kalvin Klein ads. Most of them actually feature both men and women looking sexy. But keep in mind it won't help you here, since I have already acknowledged that men are also...
Outhouse, you're the last person on RF to be complaining about the illiteracy of others. I don't think I've ever seen you correctly differentiate between "to" and "too", and your grammar, syntax and punctuation are consistently appalling.
Are you sure you're not a Muslim yourself? :p
