Sex

I've read a lot of opinions on the whole boob debacle over the last few days. The absolute best one is here. It's long, but that's what makes it worth reading, because it captures the complexity of both that particular situation and real life in general.

Yeah, I spent the majority of yesterday arguing with people who believe that [livejournal.com profile] theferrett is a horrible, misogynist monster and that the OSBP was nothing more than a cheap excuse to let a bunch of poorly-socialized geeks feel up on some boobies. Even saying that I agreed the OSBP was a bad idea (and I think it was in implementation, though not so much in concept -- not that I was going to tell them the latter part) wasn't enough. You had to express the same kind of outrage, disgust, and hostility toward [livejournal.com profile] theferrett they had in order to not be accused of "defending a vile idea."

It was a fun day, let me tell you.

"defending a vile idea."

misread as "defending a vagina".
