"This should be a better world," a friend of mine said. "A more honest one, where sex isn't shameful or degrading. I wish this was the kind of world where say, 'Wow, I'd like to touch your breasts,' and people would understand that it's not a way of reducing you to a set of nipples and ignoring the rest of you, but rather a way of saying that I may

By the end of the evening, women were coming up to us. "My breasts," they asked shyly, having heard about the project. "Are they... are they good enough to be touched?" And lo, we showed them how beautiful their bodies were without turning it into something tawdry.

oh my fucking CHRIST. on a MOTORCYCLE. a STEAM POWERED MOTORCYCLE WITH FUCKING KNOBS ON.

because, of course! what it is aaaaaaaall about is Letting The Men Judge. because they are the Great Arbiters Of All and women's bodies are beautiful or not ONLY if they fucking APPPROVE.

*pants*

ok. someone might have said this already, but i had to get it out.

so, hey now, lets have an open source testicles day. any guy who doesn't want some random other guy grabbing his nads? well, he's just fucking uptight, no?

ok. have to go hit things now.

[llassah]

steampunk jesus ftw!

women just don't know when they're beautiful, apparently.

(I want callum to open source hugh's testicles.)

I want to actually hit him. That doesn't happen very often *seethes*

i wrote the below before you replied. i was just so annoyed i, um. forgot to hit post...

and god(s) help me, i am commenting over there now...

[llassah]

hehe, he's...um disabled and deleted/whatevered all comments over there, including an apology. Huh. I went over to look at what you'd written all special like

[_unhurt_]

i just saved page 1 and 4 - sadly, unexpanded comments. while i am sure fandom_wank and the like will not require my screengrabs i might put up one of the post itself in my journal. and perhaps include a link to his lj. for science, like.

oh, a whiny "it was pure but has been misinterpreted woeees, i love the women and wish them to feel saaafe" apology, huh?

unimpressed.

asshole.

eta: wow, i am full of hate today! and it has been a good day! *may need to decompress with rats*

[_unhurt_]

so not reading the commenst lover there but the whole thing is WORSE now i read the entire post. what a giant, entitled, entitled so amazingly ENTITLED ASSHOLE. validation and love and social experimentation my pasty ass. he wanted to touch some tit and this is his faux-hippy-dippy lameass "ooh, woo just down't unnnnnderstaaaand the bweeeauty of what we are dwoooing" justification.

i would say it's pathetic and sad that he can't even see that, uh, buttons or no, it's going to make the whole atmosphere super fucking uncomfortable for a whole lot of attendees. (but hey, i gues the opinions of a bunch of uptight womens don't really count.) but i'm not going to say that. i'm going to say i wish i'd been there so i could have punched him in his smug little fucking face.

open source fists, you see.

man. stuff like this makes me depressingly convinced that twisty faster at i blame the patriarchy is on the money more often than it is comfortable to contemplate.

[_unhurt_]

what a shock, he's turned off commenting. probably for the best as what i was going to say was:

[your brave new world sounds a lot like the 60s. they sucked for women too, asshole.] <- actually i had deleted the subject as too inflammatory. i am NICE.

....

how about you post a list of all the cons you ever plan to attend so i can be certain sure i won't accidentally find myself some place where your amazingly entitled, sexist (yes, yes you are. patronising too. a delicious double whammy!) self is going to be?

"My breasts," they asked shyly, having heard about the project. "Are they... are they good enough to be touched?"niiiiiice. you totally didn't make anyone feel like they had to live up to your titty-grabbing standards to be part of the gang! and as for the idea you might have traded on insecurities generated by a society that is obsessed with breasts to the point of fetishisation? why, that would be unpossible! also, women's breasts = men's asses, and because there is not a whit of inequality between the way society treats
