    Laugh in a positive way. It was quite a good post imho.

    As to the pants suit and perm mafia.. i think you know what im talking about. Its' even begin to filter into entertainment as women begin to say "I'm old not dead. I Like sex. I Like to be sexy. At what age does that become a crime?"

    •  Pantsuits can be sexy (none / 0)

      Well, I fundamentally disagree with KOS.  When he says:

      Apparently, having two women throw pies at each other, wrestle each other in a sexy, lesbianic manner, then having water splashed on their ample, fake bosoms is degrading to women. Or something like that.

      Then I am tempted to say:

      Apparently calling all men who enjoy watching two women throw pies at each other, wrestle each other in a sexy, lesbianic manner, then having water splashed on their ample, fake bosoms alphachimps is degrading to men.  Or something like that.

      (I found the word alphachimp in one fo those posts that I believe you are referring to, above).

      When he says that finding this sort of thing objectionable is a "knee-jerk" reaction, I sort of cringe.  Because thinking that women smearing pie filling on each other's breasts kind of sets back the attempt by women (who don't like to smear pie filling on each other's breasts) to be taken seriously as adult rational persons is not exactly "knee-jerk".  I could use the words knee and jerk in a far more appropriate context than that.  So then I think, "has Kos just pulled a Limbaugh (I just made that up!) and pushed aside a legitimate gripe that affects a significant portion of the population (whether they know it or not) because it interferes with his moral ability to make money and enjoy a little boob-smearing on the side?  A case could be made.

      By the way, I do think it is degrading to call men alphachimps.  No joke! Kneeing jerks in the nads is wrong too!

      Kos is a big-boy, and he has his very own blog.  Honest criticism towards his words should be expected.  Calling him an alphachimp should not, so okay - I object!

      And finally, you haven't sufficiently explained: just what is wrong with women who wear pantsuits?  And how can we get the word pantsuit back into every day vocabulary usage?

        is wrong with women wearing patssuits. Read my bigger post you should get the point. The problem isnt with women wearing pantssuits, bodyhiding clothes, getting perms etc etc.

        It is with the other women insisting they do it. The OTHER women wanting to control their bodies, their sexuality, their sensuality. It's one of the never talked about forms of sexism.

        As for criticising the ad or Kos for his post. Go for it. But dont expect everybody to shut up and not argue with you. And thats the thing. They arent just upset about the ad or Kos's post. They are most upset that DK isnt censored to fit their particular outlook. And that belongs in freeperville.. or maybe soviet russia. Not on DK.
