that posting was spot on, imo. k&r

Also the comments are very good.

Young girls committ suicide often due to their "less than perfect" looks. Has anyone really given one shit about this??? No. They are too busy drooling at the titty bars. Sad state of affairs when nudity is so taboo that tongues are hanging out of mouths at every glimpse of a bare body.

I believe Ms. Wallace has more upstairs than many of her adult peers. She'll be fine. She probably laughed, too.

Hm.

Anyway, to bring the issue of porn on topic, its worth noting how disgustingly racist porn can be.

I'd love to see it posted in GD, then they can all be seen in the same place. They'd get to show their asses to a much bigger audience.

This kind of race based feminism can't be good for the movement.

I thought the clooney joke and the boob song were both stupid and crossed the line. First, you just don't use a 9 year old to tee up a joke about a sexual relationship. Second the boob song referenced rape scenes not just boob shots in a movie, for me that was extremely wrong.

Fwiw I think men and women are objectified frequently in movies, though it does occur more with women. But please don't tell me that women don't like seeing guys naked butts in movies and the ass shots are just as pointless as the boob shots.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't even notice the difference in discourse. I'd like to blame that on the fact that there was discussion of the horrible way she was treated in the feminist groups I'm in on Facebook, but that isn't it. There simply wasn't as much discussion on it.

I wish I'd shared this here when I read it. I was too busy arguing wirh the cantyoutakeajokeitwassatireabouttheindustryblahblahfuckinblah crap in GD.

NINE. That is something that i think should be kept in the spotlight, and trump everything else.

Why?

Because Hollywood has a track record of taking children of both sexes and ruining their lives.

It is one thing for a Anne Hathaway or Meryl Streep to be insulted. No, it is NOT good, but they are grown adults, who have already developed a sense of self, and who have avenues available to them, up to and including leaving Hollywood for something better.

This C-H-I-L-D cannot. Hell, she has not even hit puberty yet, which means that some 14-18 year old is going to be teased about being called a (you know what word) as she develops, which is a good way of making sure she never develops properly.

Yes, there are happy endings, but also a lot of bad ones. Yes, Drew Barrymore is doing fine now, but there were a few moments where an early grave or jail cell was ready and waiting for her.

And no, this is not to discount the feminism, indeed, being that Q is a young, afro-american female, she is already very vulnerable. However, in all the heat,I wondered how come no one talked about the fact that a NINE year old gets hit with the sort of punch that makes 30 year olds slit their wrists?
