Mork: You talkin’ to me? Man, are YOU rattlin’ the wrong cage.

Have we heard from Derbyshire yet, or is he down in the basement watching Sailor Moon?

In all likelihood, he’s been rewinding and rewatching all the panty flashes ten times each. At least. Oh, and don’t touch the remote – it’s probably very sticky right now.

Sorry I’m unwilling to STFU, right-wing, sexphobic troll.

(sorry if I’m being insensitive to the pressures women are made to bear. I came thru a similar guilt thing when I came out and don’t have time for it anymore)

No problem, g. I’m just attempting, poorly, to point out a beautiful example of perfectly circular reasoning. If you listen to them, you feel bad — if you don’t, you are bad. Nothing like “Hey look, I’ve made my own choices and I feel great!” could ever possibly penetrate it.

To be fair, Kathryn, Black Canary has dressed in fishnet stockings, pirate boots, and a bustier since 1947. I’ve never been sure why she hangs out with that ’60s leftie Green Arrow, though.

Translation: Iain wore a stripe of black electrical tape across his secret decoder badge when Black Canary married Green Arrow.

Freud pointed out how sexually repressed people take refuge in sublimation; finding some substitute for the “evil” activity they secretly desire yet fear. In K-Lo’s case, one would assume the sublimation is steered into big, greasy portions of gravy-soaked beef. Perhaps that’s some link to the “absorb” comments.

By the way, was she perhaps separated at birth from the anti-sex “feminist” (Heaven forefend) Andrea Dworkin? There is more than a superficial resemblance physically and emotionally.

He’s discussing the exact same issue, but intelligently. Oh, and he interviews his mom about her choices in contraception, which is an interesting choice.

My wife used to have periods that were seven days long and so heavy that she’d have to wear a tampon AND a pad (and change both every few hours). I’m not even mentioning the horrid cramps and the vomiting. The pill put a stop to all of that.

I don’t actually know the Catholic Church’s position on the use of the birth control pill for reasons like that. Maybe it’s okay as long as you’re not having sex, but my guess is that people like K-Lo would simply advise my wife to see her heavy periods as a message from God about original sin or some such thing.

And I’m not really talking about sex as a commercial transaction, just wondering why out of all the other interactions between people it’s this one that’s singled out as “objectifying”.

That is a very interesting question. I sell the use of my brain from 9 to 5 to the people I work for. They are nice people, but they don’t love me, nor do I love my job. This is not necessary as long as I get paid my salary. Why is sex different? Frankly, I’m not so sure it needs to be. Very few people get to earn their living doing work they are very proud of and that they love to bits. Does there have to be huge drama and a swearing to lifelong committment accompanying every sexual encounter? If you believe so, why? An awful lot of our assumptions about sex and relationships is learned, rather than innate behavior.

I think K-Lo/pope are living in the past, where the only model for a satisfying, mutual sexual relationship was marriage, where children would inevitably arrive, and the parents would have to be able to work together to raise them. Usually at least one parent would die at a relatively early age. With our long lives and the need to limit our family size, it’s an insufficient model.

I’m totally sorry the word “sex” is within 500 miles of K-Load. You’ll probably need therapy before you can look at a woman and think of sex without thinking of K-Load.

I, on the other hand … wait. What’s happening? The S.O. just walked in the room and all I can think of are two giant eyebrows and about a dozen chins.

OH GOD HELP ME!!

And I’m not really talking about sex as a commercial transaction, just wondering why out of all the other interactions between people it’s this one that’s singled out as “objectifying”.

And dripping with santorum.

Aieeeee!
