Porn in a flash

A troubling surge in creepy "upskirt" photography has lawmakers in a twist -- and the body parts of women posted all over the Internet.

The letters thread is now closed.

both sexes should

Men should be allowed to pursue their native interests but not women? Hypocrite.

there ought to be a balance, unlike the current situation where most laws serve women.

there is a reason the jails are filled with men, this society caters to women, not to men. A fair society would ALSO serve men's interests.

Men in Speedos can be mmmm mmm good

What women are you talking about? I love a fine ass man in a speedo. Seriously, you think any women (and 10 % of the male population) was looking at Michael Phelp's face when he won all of those gold medals. Granted, I wasn't looking at his package per se (cause, well, a penis is a penis is a penis and he was just in the water) but those perfect shoulders, abs, and that cut right above his speedo line....what was I saying...

Of course not. Quite the opposite

I was specially disturbed by that whole, women get to choose who they expose themselves to and that's unfair diatribe. Do you think women should be chattel to men?

Everyone gets to choose who they expose themselves to, regardless of gender.

The problem I have is with this HYPER stance women take that somehow they can give up peeks of flesh but anyone caught in the view is automatically a perv, punishable with death.

I exaggerate, but doesn't anyone have a sense of humor? A sense of ease about life?

Frankly, HOW can a woman even ENJOY life when she is constantly calculating who has hurt her in imaginary ways and how badly those imaginary hurts have hurt her.

If feminism has done one thing correctly, it is that it has galvanized hypersensitive women and given them a place to gravitate towards so the rest of society can be free of this sort of attitude.

I can make up all sorts of imaginary sleights ALL DAY LONG. To me it seems awfully petty for women to constantly parse out the value of their body to various entities around them.

Women ought to be in computer programming school, or law school, or some other WORTHWHILE place rather than crying over male sexuality and how much it has supposedly theoretically caused women to be less than in a perfectly divine state in some imaginary way.

Let me get this straight, Brightstar:

You're mad at women.

Am I right?

Well, open a window and yell, "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

the other side of the coin my last post brings up

is that so many men in relationships do not even bother to try to stop their women from telling other women about the most intimate details.

you cannot stop women from doing this. ought it be a crime though?

I would consider this to be a MUCH WORSE violation of a person's privacy, AT A MUCH DEEPER LEVEL than a mere anonymous peek at some nylon.

this is what bugs me, is this shuttered hypocritical attitude among women that they can do not wrong and that men can only do wrong.

I have given up taking women seriously as a result. I mean, who can blame me when the messages women send out are inconsistent and all have one goal, to put men down.

I am mad at the system

and at the men and women who keep propping it up.

you want gender fairness? you want equality?

EVERYTHING ought to be on the table and open to discussion.

thing is, for five decades women have been shutting men down and refusing to let men have a voice in the feminist driven society we all have to live in.

this is changing. men are discovering their voices.

men have to fight OTHER MEN who still want to hand women all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff. this is not balance.

if women want to be full agents in society, they need the full gamut of being free but also being responsible and PLAYING fairly with the other sex.

we are regretfully, awfully FAR from this goal, in my opinion (and feminists keep trying to make it WORSE)

"You are what you select."

huh? What kind of cryptic ambiguous crap is that?

OK. I select to be the queen of the universe. Doesn't make sense.

Neither does your post.

Men wanting equal treatment should wear kilts.

At least one person here lamented that nobody is taking "upskirts" of men. Maybe more men would be the "victims" of voyuerism if they wore kilts. I highly recommend the website, utilikilts.com.

On a related note, and I hope I don't offend anyone here, but, do you know why Scottsmen wear kilts?

Because a sheep can hear a zipper at 30 yards.

Sorry, but I love that joke.

@ bigguns

I am glad you are doing good work. Are you allowed to carry a gun?

The class I took was a few years back. Yes, the agent told us to run after hitting. We also ran to get into condition. Bigguns, surely you know that over a distance, most men can outrun most women.

I no longer run. Disks in my back won't let me do any high impact exercise.

I would ask you to trust that I know my own circumstances, my own condition, and my own territory. I recommend that everyone else do the same. Bigguns, you are being prescriptive. No doubt, you think you have the best prescription.

I think for my life style, I have the best prescription for me. I know where I live, I never go to ghettoes. I also know the gun laws in my state. In Texas, it is legal for instance to carry a gun in your glove compartment if you are driving from one county to another. That is because Texas is big and its inhabitants are used to driving. We also have pretty good self-defense laws.

Bigguns, I can cross two counties just driving to Dallas, which is less than an hour away.

I don't know where you live, but I do know where I live. The only time I have ever had to walk through a metal detector is when I used to go to court regularly and at the airport.
