OH JOHN RINGO NO!

[liz_marcs]

With all the business about this kind of skeevy crap (not to mention the fact there's a massive case of failboat here), is it wrong that I'm perversely pleased that OH JOHN RINGO NO has become a catchphrase (hradzka must be proud!)?

No, seriously. It's not everyday one is present at the birth of an Internet meme and has the commenting record to prove it.

What? Don't look at me like that.

Anyway, Unfunny Business on Journalfen is going a bit of a round-up on the business.

As for me, I only have one question:

Why is it that whenever someone (usually male) decides that it's time to get "sex positive," it's invariably the women who need to "get over their issues" so they can participate? Also, why is it that they're the ones who usually end up at the receiving end of whatever insane little "sex positive" experiment is being done?

Strange how that works, hunh?

Look, if a woman says the idea of such a "sex positive" experiment (read: giving men a free pass on treating female-type people like meat) is skeevy, it does not mean she's "got sexual issues," or "lacks a sense of humor," or is "anti-feminism."

What it means is that she reserves the right to do one or all of the following if you pull that shit on her:

1) Mace your ass

2) Rip your nuts off

3) Call the cops and press sexual assault charges

It also means that she (and I imagine quite a lot of men) don't like it when complete strangers grope any part of their anatomy, erogenous zone or not.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with some people that they don't get that?

That said, seeing OH JOHN RINGO NO plastered all over this tempest has had me giggling like a loon all day (much love to the_red_shoes for using it first in reference to this).

Thank you. I'm very large-breasted, and while I'm more comfortable with it now than I was when I was a teen--hellish years--there are still days when I fantasize about finding myself a good plastic surgeon and getting them reduced. The ogling--it makes you feel like someone's using your body for his sexual pleasure, and you have no say about it. No matter how conservatively you're dressed, it still happens. I don't think men get this. Not most men, at least, and the ones who do? More than likely, they're getting the same shit from other men.

*nods* GOD I hated it when I was a teenager. I can remember going to the library. I might have been 14 or 15. Dressed fairly conservatively, nothing special going on and getting stared/whistled at by two adult men. Which, of course, was so very liberating, really. And yeah, it's like someone just co-opted you for their pleasure. You *KNOW* they're thinking about it. Which is a whole other level of disgusting. And yeah, any men who are treated to that, it's probably their fellow men that do it.
