Anyway, love the Tudors, thanks NewHampster.

Sex is not always degrading. People actually enjoy it.

I think you may want to reply to the women who responded a few posts above this. The response would be regarding your pro porn, pro degradation of women.

My opinion is that it would be great if you talked about how women are sexually degraded for your pleasure yet admired for being female. Possibly you could have a think tank convo about this phenomenon

And you know what? There is also lesbian porn. What now??? Do you not like women looking at women either?

I am thoroughly disturbed by your definition, and labeling EVERYONE who thinks it’s even just ok.

Just because you think it’s degrading to women, doesn’t mean all women think that. People are different from you. If it is degrading in your eyes, maybe because sex is too??? If a woman feels good about what she does, how is she being degraded? Because you don’t like it?

There is a lot of PORN out there that is degrading to men too.

I’m a woman. I feel strongly about women’s rights. However, I think we all need to be HUMAN first. Men are rude crude and nasty. So are women.

If you are so stronly a feminist, then you must be for abortion. How do you feel about women aborting a baby who is a girl? I’m very curious about this.

And to put him on a Kennedy half dollar.

Let me go puke now….

Elizabeth was a very moderate, tolerant leader by the standards of her time. England had been torn apart for years by civil war (more like tribal infighting) until her grandfather Henry VII took over. He constantly had to fight off phony pretenders to the throne but he managed to bring stability to that country. So it is not surprising that his son Henry VIII and granddaughter Elizabeth would take strong measures to prevent uprisings. That was also why Henry was so desperate for a male heir. There was no way he could have foreseen that his daughter would be able to hold the country together.
She really was an amazing ruler.

W00T!!!

excellent!!!!

however, I think Catherine the Great was an incredibly enlightened monarch

Eleanor of Acquitaine IMHO surpasses them ALL and if she had been able to rule well it would have been AWESOME!! but Henry locked her in a tower instead to keep her out of the way

you know the way they do, PUMAS are familiar with this method of coping form some men in power HA!!

want to read some angst about women rulers take a look at what John Knox wrote about Elizabeth and her cousin Mary,. Queen of Scots, yes Knox was pretty TERRIFIED of women, said GOD ‘him’self was against it and it was monstrous. Then he ran to Scotland to avoid Elizabeth replying to him in kind, HA!

Well, I am not concerned with being called names. Hello water, meet ducks back.

I would ask you though to outline for me what version of feminism accepts the degradation of females.

I would like to know what version of feminism you talk about and how I do not do women justice.

Please go on with your definitions of feminism and please make sure to point by point, outline how I vary. Outline how I vary.

And, as a side note, I am not interested in women rushing to NewHampster’s defense, as if the guy can not respond on his own.

I am interested in people that want to talk about women as we relate to the men who move among us. I am interested in talking about a bunch of things. Yet, meh, some dood who flips a masks to gain attention, a ‘look at me, I am all for you, but wait, in my core, you are crap’, kinda dood, well, I guess that will flush itself out as people read on.

It is not about the dood, as you seem to make it to be, as much as the guy who wears the mask, the illusions that women are being asked to see through.

Porn is (warning graphic – stop reading here as this reality, a graphic truth, will be upsetting).

Porn is a female, mostly a teen girl, a child laid down, strapped down as a paying male waits.

A nail is driven though her skull. A nail is driven through this girl child’s brain.

The nail driven through her brain causes her body to react. This is what the male, who paid for this first hand experiences is waiting for. He has been told that when a body dies in a manner such as this that the body goes through a slow and wild movement. This is what he wants. He wants this sexually and it is filmed so that those who want porn may enjoy it later. Her death, while this male mounts, ‘has sex’ with her, is filmed. That is porn. This -is-what-porn-really-is.

As her body bucks in death, with a nail through her brain, he ‘gets his’ all of this is filmed and sold as porn. Sold as porn. Sold for entertainment.

This does not happen just once by accident. This is porn. This is the true face of porn.

This is what happens in the making of porn. So, no person who buys or otherwise accepts porn as a common commodity, as common as buying a pack of gum, can ever think that there are not real and true harms to real people in the making of porn.

No purveyor of porn, regardless of how they may explain their purchase as being benign, will ever be able to erase the true fact of porn and that porn is a death of females.

A person may think porn is ‘okay’ does not get to remove themselves from the group of persons that consider females as second class objects. A person who is into porn is not allowed to separate themselves from the human being, the nail and the hammer. You are one. You drive the nail with your purchase of porn.

Porn says that you are okay with the murder of females for the sexual entertainment of others.

A person can not be ‘a little pregnant’ and you can not do ‘a little porn’ without being a member of a club that condones the murder of females for sexual gratification. In for a penny, in for a pound.

You can not remove your desire to view girls and women in humiliating situations from what drives you at the core. Your core is what says what you really are.

Everything else is just fluff and driven by motives. I have had enough of late, of motives and masks and people with agendas who sell goods to the unsuspecting.

I saw the Brafy commemorative coin commercial this morning. I wanted to laugh as though it was a SNL skit. It sure sounded like one. Sadly, it was real, well, in the same phoney way Odrama is real.
