Hi Wade,
Are you saying, accordingly by the article, that women can 't be " offended
"
by their own sexual attribute because they can 't " see " it !?
And that in some strange way they focus their attention on the penis because
that is/ becomes visible !?
Maybe a strange deduction from my part of the world but would that than not
explain the ' memetic war ' we have read in the original article about those
females destroying a snow phallus !?
And that in addition the whole argument about showing a penis, under form
of any art- form, can be reduced to the same argument !?
Showing the ( erected) penis is memeticly more harmful than showing one
cunt !? Why would that be, metaphorically speaking, I would prefer to
watch the penis, womens vagina is one place hidden away in the mids
of a dark forest... a cave, full of mistery but nevertheless it can suck
you inside and watch you die....
