You guys are too fast . I can't catch up... Ok here's one.
GOLD for the yachting!!! :))Timeline!
That was like 40 minutes ago. They bumped the one Close Up story I wanted to watch so they could do a crappy phone cross with the dude.

Thanks, Emma. Many valid points here all round.
I do not believe in positioning women as universal victims either, or men as slobbering fools unable to control ourselves. Though you'd have to wonder from some of the crowd shots last year.
I acknowledge individual women's active role in this type of situation, and also the bigger picture where power is negotiated and the playing field is not level. No easy answers.
-
The playing field when it comes to men and women isn't really level in any sense.
In some ways I actually think women have more power in sexual matters than men - sod all women would flock to the streets to watch Cocks on Cars (sorry best I can come up with). For better or worse. I guess what that does do is put women sometimes in a position where they are bargaining with themselves as it were.
-
I meant it isn't level in any setting really. Men have it better in almost all things.

Hey now, we were generous enough to give them a rib (right Grant?), you've got to allow us some privileges in exchange.

Like peeing standing up. :)

From Oxford University Press Political Dictionary "Female pornography is seen by feminists as a mode of oppression and exercise of power by the stronger sex. The woman's body is sexualized and various parts of her anatomy are used to provide pleasure to the male gaze. Pornography entails sexual exploitation and male violence."
The issue is strongly debated in the feminist community, to say the least. It is entirely wrong to say that the feminist position is anti-porn. It is probably correct to say that the majority of feminists are anti- the porn industry (of which Crow is an excellent representative), but that's not quite the same thing.

@Lucy
It gives me the peverse desire to get call off my engagement and become a lesbian. Just because.
LOL!
Actually, you win coffee for that. Email me with your delivery address and I'll get our army of fulfillment staff onto it.

You laugh. My friend is very proud of the fact that she can pee standing up :)
-
Sacha, oops. My bad. Doesn't change my post much, except to say that you're a far braver man than I :P
-
See, it's exactly what I've been saying for years. Lucy's been queer for less than an hour and the liberal media elite has already inducted her into the secret pinko cabal. WHAT IS THIS COUNTRY COMING TO?
-
And when did coffee become the currency of induction, that's what I want to know. :)
-
You're absolutely right, Sacha, and I couldn't agree more. These latte drinking pinko communists have besmirched the ideals of our honest hardworking tea drinking society with their shiny boilers, and their sodomy! On our honest godfearing streets no less! My forebears died in the trenches of Pakuranga & Mt Roskill to pave those streets with their BLOOD and what do these little crypto communist pinko LIBERALS do but just bloody well strip off to their shameful pornudity and dance their evil sinning sexy-time pornographic gyrations away as if they don't even care about the children! Heathenographers, THE LOT OF THEM!
SOMEONE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!

Sacha, I think I have some blogs you'd find interesting. I should probably save myself some time and work up a post.
And I wanna know how come Lucy turns lesbian and Russell gets her address...
-
Heh. Morgan, yr channeling Grunt and some of our proud civic leaders over the years uncannily well. I love the word "pornudity".
-
Emma, please do - be good to update my knowledge since Fem101 at Canty when the post-structuralist/discourse thinkers were challenging the entrenched identity politics.
Must be time for a drink - that was way too academic for this time o day. Not having a bloody latte either. Bloody Mary, perhaps.
-
Morgan - I'm glad you see the need that SOMETHING MUST BE DONE - I've decided that we must enlist a cabal of aging overweight topless guys who will then tricycle down Queen street - in the process we will scar the national psyche so badly that no one will ever ever again go to Queen street to watch a parade .... just in case
-

Maybe he's pimpin a revival of Hero - now there was a real parade. Remember seeing a current member of parliament wearing green paint and not much more.
-
"aging overweight topless guys" - moobs on bikes!
-

Coffee is a universal currency.
-
"Grounds for divorce" - lol :)
-
Morgan, no matter how hard you try to be awesome, I don't think russ is going to pony up the Coffee for you.
-
Oops, best tone it down lest Dylan suspect I'm playing for product too. :)
-
For some reason, reading all this reminds me of Spike Milligan...
"When I look back, the fondest memory I have is not really of the Goons. It is of a girl called Julia with enormous breasts."

Oh, you were tying to be witty too? Ahhh. :)
