  •  Even Liberals (3.71 / 21)

    need a break at times.  I think many of us come here so often that just sheer curiousity about this ad sorta makes us want to get out of the daily grind of a political discussion and see what this was about.

    I'm a woman, a feminist, and I clicked.   A Pie Fight doesn't really bother me. There was always a sexual tension in Gilligan's Island between those two girls. I only got irked because the site kept telling me to choose a format and when I did, it asked me again so it never opened.

    Other than that, if two actresses wanna dress up like Mary Jane and Ginger and throw pie at each other, fine.  Erotic things do not debase women in my opinion.  It's a celebration of feminine sexuality, and was performed by two consenting adult women.  They weren't forced to do it.  We have such prude people in this country on both sides of the "aisle".  If they wanna look "whorish" or "erotic" or whatever, it's up to them!

    What debases women is taking away their rights to do that if they want to, or to drive, vote, or have choice over their bodies and lives. Republicans debase women far more than that skit did.

    Repressing sexuality creates the freaks that are after judges in the far right, the homophobes and the intolerance of sex on TV.  I would rather see that, any day of the week, than the pornography that is supposedly "news", or the wanton violence in the various series.  Europe has gotten over sex and nudity on TV, so should we.  If we would get OVER it, then a little bit of sexual repartee would not be regarded as "perverse".  
    It would be seen as it should be seen, normal and HEALTHY. We would recognize what is truly perverse, the violence.

    Make Love, Not War!

    Joy -- who has been in a couple of pie fights herself.
