Thread Name: BS: Women Only Please
Subject: RE: BS: Women Only Please
I'll just add that it is entirely conceivable that a generation of men
who grew to maturity through, learnt from, and were inspired by feminism of the previous generation
can still enjoy glorifying and enjoying the female anatomy - even joking about it -
without being guilty of crude simplistic unintelligent objectification.

Some of us now live in a progressive era where post feminism, post modernism, post irony, post whatever else you can think of,
kinda make shared human existence a damn sight more complex and interesting.

... alternatives and possibilities rule amongst the educated and enlightened sectors of society...

Yes even modern powerful women and us 'sensitive sympathetic new male feminists'
can still find some sort of transgressive fun in old dumb "Carry On" movies culture humour.

The mature woman in my life who has an MA and a high responsibility professional career
insists on having me touch, fondle and cuddle, those intimate parts of her several times daily.
She also near pisses herslf laughing at vintage stereotypical 'sexist' sitcoms and movies.
We met as left wing humanities student in the politically hot house early 80s.
After 30 odd years together, we have negotiated a fairly stable truce between the male and the female.

But sadly, we are aware that outside our cosy little private world,
vast sections of mass society still fester shit misogynist attitudes towards women...
