SB's reaction fucked me off something chronic but for reasons you're aware of I didn't really have the energy to put it into acerbic words.
Personally I'm fucking sick of having to take it on the chin for the actions of previous generations and having to tiptoe around the unreasonable chips many people have on their shoulders - often without much reason.
There is a great deal in media now that depicts men as 'lovable oafs' or beefcake, yet you don't see the same kind of strident reactions from men to that, that you see from women to any similar treatment of women. We seem to be expected to just sit and take it, even if (as modern 'sensitive' men) we don't deserve to be kicked around.
Yeah, I like to look at boobies on occasion, whoop de doo that's the way I'm genetically programmed and if men weren't attracted to women - and vice versa - none of us would be here. To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a cleavage is just a cleavage and who is really being exploited if they're using that to try and sell me products eh?
And don't even get me bloody started on that MJ statuette nonsense.
If I can deal with friggin' Sheila's Wheels car insurance adverts women can cope with a bit of harmless totty now and again.
The war's over, its a draw, things are just still shaking themselves down. I'm not priviledged just because I'm male and white, indeed these things have stood against me.
