(47,675 posts)"chant boobies boobies" cracked me up. I'm one of those "natural tits" guys and double-stuffed oreos just aren't attractive (and look painful). And yes, it is a male-dominated society. Just turn on the tube. The guys can look like shit and nobody cares but the women all have to have fake boobs, too much makeup, and bouncy hair just to get on the air. It isn't just FOX, they all do that. The dumber a woman looks, the better. It's depressing. I only see TV when I'm out (or if I watch a clip on the net), but that's the standard now and pretty much always was. SNL poked fun at that in the late 70's - "Jane you ignorant slut." That really summed up the way TV presented women.
Unfortunately, we live in an overly overt society of sexuality. Yes, it is male-oriented, but it also gives young girls the impression that they have to be slutty. My wife teaches kindergarten and she's had to turn off the Wii dance thing because the girls (5 year old kids here) do pelvic movements while running their hands through their hair and the boys do pelvic thrusts. I didn't even know what a pelvic thrust WAS when I was 5.
Sure, I'm a guy. I like tits. I like cute butts, and well, other parts. But women like certain parts too. I wasn't the one who initiated things this morning, but damn was it good. And yes, if you stop looking, you're dead. That goes both ways. My wife has no problem with me saying a girl is cute (like 23 or so) because she knows I'm just commenting on her as a person, not necessarily how she looks. She's not threatened by that because she knows I'm not prowling. She's just as likely as I am to point it out.
By the way. When you have a boy, you worry about one dick. When you have a girl, you worry about every dick in town. When my third daughter was born, someone said it was God's way of paying me back. Fortunately that hasn't proven to be true. They're good kids and rather conservative (in that respect).
