Freddie Krugger.
Changed my mind. Freddie gets 5 and Carrot Top gets the other five.

Are you saying Maxim doesn't come from a very low place? Do you assert that it doesn't train young males to have adversarial, dishonest, damaging relationships with females?

My objection to this sort of thing does not mean I'm on a pedestal. Speaking out against such harmful, sick indoctrination is a normal thing that any decent man would and should do.

Who ever said anything about banning any magazine?

And if you really think the only alternatives are "family values" or Maxim's values, you must not have any inkling of the broad tapestry of beliefs, values, practices, and lifestyles that are available to anybody living a human life.

If it came down to a choice between "family values" and Maxim's misogyny, though, I would choose "family values" in a heartbeat.

It think it caters to, panders to, reflects typical young males rather than 'trains.' You want that, talk to sturner about Skinner.

I pick my battles, thanks. Maxim doesn't seem worth teh outrage... more like a shrug. And I don't think you're on a pedestal; soapbox, maybe. You pedestalize women, as you admitted a few months back, ye of short memory ; they of the po' pure innocence.

I noted you didn't go after the arguably more damaging porn issue. Adult material has its uses, and not bad ones for the well-balanced, but conversely, much more neg potential in the vein you refer to- but instead, you target a mainstream print mag. You could inveigh against that in a Sontagian thought piece; but it'd take work. This was basically a stream of thought rant- easy. Rant about porn, risk sounding like Ed Meese. Up for that action?

(And Justine, if you want an example used in a sentence- here you go).

Yuppers. Altho a minority with less power than could/should be the case, it is true- and, for myself, I find their stuff usually mo suited to my prefs. Guy-produced stuff is usually mechanistically lowbrow and, well- boring.

And those are the good points.

lesbian oriented porn is rather more elevated, but that's more a matter of style. It's still primarily interested in sex.

This is SO hawt!!!

I was joking about it being hawt. Carstuckgirls is not a turn-on for me.

Now then, if there was a site called Cellphonesignalproblemgirls.com, and it featured nothing but videos of girls who were having problems with their cell phone reception...

Well that's something I would want to look at.

Doesn't matter. You're still preoccupied with it. I didn't quote the 'hawt' post.

Teh next thread will be about Bren's fetishes. Of which, I do have the catalog.

Bren. You better hope not or I'm telling your mother and she won't like it.
I pretty much have a list of things that tick her of about you.
