heh heh heh - I have at last come to accept the inevitability of the
final aspect of the course and my life since has been humiliating,
frustrating, vexing but at least free of doubt.... and a lot quieter.

It's great to be reminded that you all link a certain ex-forum member with negativity towards women,it shows that our efforts have not been wasted.
Why dont you start up a poll: "should we have the right to post pornography,make racist comments or make posts that demean women?" yes
if you win the admin/mod team could step down.That would be great wouldnt it.?If you lose..........you all have to have "I am a naughty boy" as your sigs...

Yeah Tony... it's kind of ironic that Peter should start posting things in this thread....

and if the Doc had posted exactly the same pic, you'd have been down on him like a tonne of bricks... the set of double standards that I've witnessed in the Collabs lounge recently really makes me want to throw up, quite frankly.... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

For the thread and the opening post:
For Peter's additions:
FANDANGO: For the thread divergeance: Peter's comments were by no means macho or demeaning since it makes fun of both sexes. And in the opening thread, only males are are aimed at. Self deprecating humour is correct. I probably would've found this not quite as funny , if it had been posted by a woman wanting to hurt men, by this. Even if our BaldAngels or any other woman on this forum had posted this , it would've been for laughs. The Doc would've never posted something making fun of men, and pointing at their flaws/shortcomings from a woman's glance , even with humour. He would've posted something more like your remote control pic (which I do find funny ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

The fundamental difference here is the attitude towards humour and political correctness. I would imagine that few of us appreciate the limiting, humourless, po-faced imposition of crude, generic moral standards on our right to throw around jokes which lampoon either sex. And, as far as I'm concerned, that is correct. To poke gentle, knowing fun at the stereotypes of either sex is amusing to both sexes, PRESUMING that each is aware of their own shortcomings. The problem with the Doc's posts was that he singularly lacks that sensitivity and awareness. I doubt whether he would ever have posted the cartoon which kick-started this thread as it poked fun at both men and women. His posts would have veered towards the remote control graphic, which, while still a funny cartoon, would have solely been used to denigrate women and would surely have been attached to a vicious comment about women and their place in the world. Humour comes from seeing the comic all of us, not from targeting what is seen as 'inferior' in others. To say that women have a deficient parallel parking area in the brain is funny because it references a stereotype we all can relate to, just as to say men have a deficiency in targeting the toilet bowl also has humour. However, to say that women are stupid because they may not be able to parallel park is just vitriol and that vitriolic humour is the kind the Doc dealt in. It is when the latter rears its ugly head that polical correctness, however much the aware among us may detest it, becomes necessary. And in the Doc's case the appliance of that kind of moral policing was necessary. Simple as that. For the Brits I'll give an example. Harry Enfield's wonderful 'Women Know Your Place' sketch was comic genius because it played on the stereotypes of a bygone age while poking fun at stereotypes that are still extant. Bernard Manning's mother-in-law and wife jokes are, by contrast, thinly veiled attacks on a sex he patently hates. The former is funny, the latter the equivalent of jokes about Pakistanis, Indians or Irish. Pathetic.

Too bad we don't have a scanner. The back cover of the New York Gong album "About Time" has a member of the "Husband Liberation Front" on it, dealing out pamphlets about "Husband Liberation". He is covered all over with stickers like "Don't ask 'what can my husband do for me?', ask 'what can I do for my husband?' ", "No more Dish Washing" and the likes. A really funny picture.

Hmmm... I seem to recall posting TWO pics.
So, I'm some sort of homosexual baby now, am I? I guess you're my enemy, hey Jared? Hmmm -- your profile doesn't give your age, but you list "masturbating" as one of your hobbies. I seem to be up against a mature, formidable opponent -- dear me! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'

Well your love preferences differ from most women. I believe most active feminist women would feel offended by such a picture if it was thrown at them in a negative way or first degree humour. As the picture with the feminst rally and the yellow panel in the backgroiund, I posted. But I can see how a woman with lots of humour might see this picture might be seen as second degree humour and turn this pic right back at males> Well that remote control pic shows how men wish women would be (let us speak generally and in a machismo way, because it does represent what I am looking for in a female partner) and be allowed to turn off the (what we consider) nasty bits> wishful thinking!!! again, you read this as a second degree humour, while that Doctor character would've posted it as a first degree humour. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
