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.

Every guy part 2

For anything other than brief appreciative glances, ie photos, touching, or talking dirty...you need to find another consenting adult,

And what, praytell, is the fun in THAT? Someone mentioned Benny Hill and taking ASS SHOTS of fat women, which I think is freaking hilarious. Sorry if you are the typical humorless feminist. I pity any man stuck with you.

REALLY, lets get down to brass tacks. Why are American women so damn humorless anyway? I know guys are mostly stupid so they go along to get along, but really guys ought to get some nuts and begin to avoid you humorless bitches like the plague.

You women would sure be laughing it up amongst yourselves, with mai tais in one hand and some strapping masseur rubbing your back at some girl only getaway in Mexico, as you looked at embarrassing snapshots of guys. Oh, it's OK because you are women and women want to have 'fun' and women are never wrong, and really, why are guys so serious about something so lighthearted. a hee hee hee, a haa haa haa.

which will no doubt be easier if you actually treat women with respect and like people instead of a collection of private parts who exist only for your amusement. Also, have you not considered the idea that by objectifying women you may be attracting women who want to use their sexuality to get money, etc? Like attracts like, you know? If you objectify women, expect them to objectify you. Look, I'm not denying that some women are bitches, gold diggers, exhibitionists, etc. I know several. However, not all women are, and certainly not all "feminists." Just like not all men are sexist pigs who enjoy looking at pics of unsuspecting women...unlike you, as you've already admitted.

Your little insults do not bother me. I know I am a healthy happy American male of European descent who was raised right by my parents and who respects women WORTHY OF RESPECT.

Women objectify men in a hundred ways. I do not even know what the fucking term MEANS. And a while back, just such a thread of people ALSO tried to parse out what the hell 'objectification' is. I do recall that penis shaped dildoes count as severe objectification of men.

Basically, stop blaming feminism for all your problems and making justifications for treating women as mere objects, and life might get better.

I call it as I see it. feminism is the single largest social change in this nation in the past forty years. Basically you women were given free rein to do as you please. Now look at what is going on in this country. It must please you huh? And really, ONLY WHAT WOMEN WANT MATTERS ANYWAY, so it must all be ok, mmKay?

Don't pin all your hopes on a mail-order bride from a country with more traditional gender roles, either...if you don't respect her, she'll leave just as fast as you can say "green card" and find someone who will!

I pin no hopes on anything anymore. After the last eight years, I have become a cynical nihilist anyway.

If I were to marry some foreign woman (God knows why I would, though I may want kids someday and I am FORCED to have to marry to get a child of my own flesh and blood, unlike women who can just get knocked up), I largely believe women lack morals or respect for men, and take the smallest hurt and turn it into a reason to hurt men in some way. There is no forgiveness in women. There is no love or empathy or decency, it is all an act designed to make THEM look good.

Sure, there are some decent women out there, and if I ever get enough money and power to be able to have a shot at getting one of these women, I may change my tune. (and quit telling us men women do NOT look for that. As a Cosmo article I read this morning said, a man who makes a lot of money WILL be more likely to cheat on the woman, because **drumroll** he has more opportunity to cheat because more women flock to him)

Creep Speaking:

Before I met my current wife, I was probably [this] close to being creepy enough to visit an upskirt site. I am still insanely horny and awkward, but thanks to female friends I kept myself sane long enough to meet the right person.

I still leer, but I really hope that, if ever I became so miserable that I became that guy with the camera, a REAL man would step up and punch me in the face.

Kudos to the women who would do worse, big kudos to taking away creeps' anonymity, but many women are simply more flight than fight and they shouldn't have to be scared to be sexy.

Step up, guys. That's the kind of thing that builds the kind of confidence women are really looking for.

Honestly reacting to the world

and speaking one's mind NEVER requires anything resembling therapy. Therapy is a crime against the free human spirit anyway. Nobody should have to live like a liberal.

The very reason this nation is so messed up has its roots in the way the populace lives its life.

Question for Brightstar

Do you type all your posts individually or do you cut & paste from previous posts or other written comments you may have stored somewhere?

Man, do you put out the copy.

IMO, if your fiance left you because you had lost all your money & were feeling down, then maybe she wasn't a keeper anyway. Best to find that out before the vows are exchanged.

In answer to some of my fans and detractors.

I type fast, I don't copy and paste.

I am GRATEFUL she showed her true colors. I do not begrudge her either for it. We are still friends, and like I said, she expressed an interest in getting back with me this past week, I think on the urging of her mom probably, who must have told her that money is nothing, love means much more. I mean we were friends and lovers and had chemistry, which is hard enough to find.

I happened to spot a Cosmo article on Yahoo.com today with an intriguing title. I do sometimes peruse Cosmo and other mags though, something I gladly admit to. Nothing wrong is seeing how the other side lives and what weird fables they are being fed about men.
