I think it is hilarious to imagine Ralph and Paul and Raffi working as waiters in a bar, dressed in string thongs with a skimpy cover over their male parts with the price of beer tattoo'd on their inner thigh near their crotch.
I think it is hilarious to imagine Ralph and Paul's sons dressed in sexually denigrating outfits that reduces them to sexual objects and for them to work in environments in which women are free to oggle their packages all under the guise of hilarious fun. If it is ok on this list to post sexually denigrating images of women, is it now also OK to post racial slurs, at least if they come in the guise of a hilarious poem? So, for some of the folks on this list, the sexual denigration and epoch-old subjugation of women can be hilarious fun. What other forms of discrimination, denigration and bigotry can be hilarious? Do you putatively open-minded males have any idea how awful it is to declare Ralph's poem hilarious?! You are telling me you don't give a rip if it offends the female majority of the human race. I'll keep that in mind as we interact in the future and be on my guard. -- Warmly, Therese Fitzpatrick * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
