You may or may not have read
theferret 's Open Source Boobies Project manifesto, which for the purposes of this post will be referred to as "Public Domain Boobies" (tm
lnhammer ) since that is more or less what I take from it. If you have already heard of it, and would like to read some soothing ranting,
the_red_shoes has a nice round-up post of reactions.
Interestingly, to me, my first reaction was to think of this post
commodorified linked me to the other day. Obviously, there is a difference of both degree and proposed methodology, but it is fascinating to me that apparently there is a deeply felt conviction among some subset of men that the problem with today's society is that they do not have enough access to women's bodies.
(Also: because asking a Black woman if I can touch her hair is totally a healing experience for both of us, right? (I don't mean to imply the experiences are equivalent, but is
theferret completely tone deaf?))
For the record, my comment to theferret's post:( cut for language )</blockquote>Usually after I fire off an angry comment like this I regret if five seconds later, but in this case? Nope, other a bit of subject/verb agreement, I still mean it.
