    Feel sorry for the poor lad, if he sees what his country's peasants have been saying about him he's gonna grow up with a complex because he was born with the ability to direct his wee :(

    I feel bad for him that he was alive for two whole hours before I never wanted to hear about him again.

    For me and i would suppose a large majority of people, male nipples are not a source of sexual gratification while female nipples are. One is normal and the other is soft core porn.

    I find breasts a source of sexual gratification though. I don't see them and think "meh" up until the moment the nipple is revealed.

    The fact that female nipples excited people creates no obligation for women to cover them. Clavicles, necks, lips, eyes, hair, wrists, ankles, etc., etc. also excite people. Once you start down that road well...

    A critical issue, no doubt.

    The gender neutrality rants are par for the feminist course, I suppose, but those wishing Middleton had aborted the baby because it was a boy? Way to take the wickedness to a whole new level. It does seem that the term feminazi does apply to some, after all.

    Just wondering, how do you know these people are feminists and/or serious?

    Trolling is a big growth area in leisure activities these days...

    Why does every issue have to be critical?

    My road has got potholes in it. Should I not complain to the local council because there are so many people living without any roads at all in the world?

    No, no, it's ok if you complain, you just need to clear it with Greg first, so, y'know, you're doing the right thing.

    I wish gender activists would at least acknowledge then when most people refer to male or female, they're talking about biological sex, not gender identity. The baby may decide later to adopt a female gender identity, but his biological sex is male, and that's what people are talking about.

    What is "normal" and what is "soft porn" depends on the culture you're brought up in.

    Whether you find a man's bare chest or a woman's bare chest attractive has more to do with who you find attractive, not some intrinsic "sexual gratification" radiation emanating from women's boobs.

    What I find really strange is how our society views the naked body as more taboo than violence and murder. I could never figure out why, as a 4 year-old it was fine for me to watch Ben Kenobi sever some guy's arm, but I was not deemed able to cope with seeing a woman's nipple until I was 15.

    The whole naked taboo thing makes no sense to me :confused:

    I'm with you on the nipple thing but I'll be damned to hell if anyone is going to suggest that Star Wars is inappropriate for any age group.

    Maybe the special edition and prequel trilogy should be kept quiet until the kids are 18 or so, akin to pictures of murder victims or something...

    No no no!

    I wasn't suggesting that at all...

    I was suggesting that at 4 I should have been allowed to watch Star Wars and women's nipples!

    So, anyway, seeing as these whining malcontents are wasting everybody's time, is it a good use of the anti-feminists' time to whine about the whining?

    There are people dying out there!

    Also, just thought I'd chuck this in here:

    https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-statistics-show-that-gender-pay-gap-has-reduced-to-191

    Funny that the Office for National Statistics seem to think it's actually a thing. It just happens that the interpretation offerred by the "myth busters" is not how they interpret the data...

    2014 was a great year for feminism.

    After Ban Bossy, After ban man-spreading, after #killallmen and ban #womenagainstfeminism; after Free the Nipple, after Shirtgate and after ban Christmas presents wrapping – all of this while largely ignoring the real issues third-world women experience on a daily basis - I didn’t think that the third wave western feminists could maintain this level of stupid.

    How little did I know.

    Just few months into the year, it already looks like 2015 is going to be a great vintage.

    Conference Delegates Decry Clapping, Request "Feminist Jazz Hands" to Avoid Anxiety Triggers

    http://townhall.com/tipsheet/christ...jazz-hands-to-avoid-anxiety-triggers-n1975606

    Like it says, file that one under "Not The Onion"

    A month earlier, ex pornstar Cytherea gets violently gang raped at gunpoint in her home in front of her kids by 3 teenagers. Not a peep. That’s right, not a word from those same feminists who were no doubt too busy posting pictures of their dyed hairy armpits.

    You go, girls.

    Just making sure.

    At 4 you'd probably have an entirely different perspective on nipples than you do now. I am continually led back to the writer J.M. Coetzee who said, on censoring sexuality, that it has more to do with parental shame than it is with children's delicacy.

    What the hell is that townhall.com about? Kinda freaky site for a delicate limey like myself...

    Here's a counterpoint to the "jazzhands" story, from one of the organisers: http://oxfordstudent.com/2015/03/25...uccessful-derailing-of-nus-womens-conference/

    I see. That made this whole clapping anxiety way more palatable. Looks like clapping anxiety is as rampant among English feminists as testosterone deficiency is among MMA fighters. #jazzhands #TRT

    I'm not getting your point.

    My partner works with children with special educational needs, and my first thought was "wow, that must make public gatherings much easier to deal with for people with sensory sensitivity, such as those on the autism spectrum". School assemblies are really not fun for many of those kids.

    Seems like quite a good idea if total inclusion is your aim.

    I mean really, what do you care if some meetings at the Oxford SU encourage people not to clap?
