Holy cow. Did rottenseed just go crazy with the enter key?

A nerdgasm is prompted by nerdiness - there's nothing nerdy about a girl that likes girls. There is something nerdy about a girl who plays WoW.

Ah, nevermind. It really wasn't that big of a deal.

No shenanigans - I hate people that can't use language properly. A girl with a level 80 WoW character might prompt a nerdgasm. A girl that likes boobs just prompts an orgasm.

Haha. What dag said gets a downvote. I call shenanigans.

If I really wanted to start a wave of nerdgasms, I'd also mention that I have a level 80, now. Yes. I have boobs and I play World of Warcraft and that's why I, ladies, am a feminist.

Well I said that because you said something about "ask the Kurds, Kuwait, etc..." I assumed you didn't know where he was from. No, I didn't know that, but as far as world history goes, I kinda suck.

You do realize that Kuwait would actually be a province of Iraq under Saddam had no one intervened?

You do realize Farhad is from Kuwait, right?

The Khomeini's would obviously support an action to remove Saddam Hussein who attacked Iran in the 80s resulting in the Iran-Iraq war that killed nearly a million. They also hate America. Your point is so ridiculous.


Actually, Hossein Khomeini is a big fan of America and considers his own grandfather a "F@#%!#& queer". He's even gone so far as to hope that America would remove the regime in Iran next. He and most of the other youth in Iran blame the Iran-Iraq war dead largely on his grandfather's attempts to fight it with human waves.

If you think Iran is unique in the region for wanting Saddam removed maybe ask the Kurds, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Israel if they would rather return to the days of Saddam's rule.

I upvote a video if it's humerous or educational, with the very few and far between vote on a music video I enjoy. I generally downvote videos I think are dumb, sexist, have gratuitous boob, or are overall unenjoyable.

Yes, I do realize my vote will be seen by everyone else. It's really not a factor or a hinderance in my decision-making, because I'm fairly certain the people who have been here for over six months know my stance on the "big" issues that would prompt me to downvote a video.

The only user that has any effect on my vote is my boyfriend, and only if he voted for something that I thought was mildly inappropriate. Then if I see he voted for it, it generally makes me mad enough to push me over the edge and downvote - like that stupid "tongue tricks" video last week.

With some videos, like that ^ one, the comments also have an effect on a downvote.

Of course.. Don't want blankfist getting jealous!

Seriously? You accuse someone else who made a sexual joke of harassment, but it's okay for you to joke around about something of the same nature?

@gwiz

I'm not saying the admins should police the site, or anything like it. I'm just saying it truly feels like a hostile environment at times, because of comments members [males] make. The examples I cited earlier, about the Big Breasts BBC documentary, "OooOh, Honkers" and "Tits or GTFO" really don't make me feel welcome. I think as a community, everyone should work toward a more friendly environment. It's true that gays and feminists are treated as lesser citizens, even around here.

It's surprising to me that so many guys here have conned their girlfriend / significant other into making an account, and are still less than acceptable. Another side of my boyfriend I never would have wanted to see comes out on here, and I don't think that would be the case if the general tone of the community was inclusive. I realize that's a personal problem, but there are a plethora of comments and videos that really just make me mad. Like this one. How in the world did it make top 15? It's some nasty 14-year-old girl doing shit that really isn't remarkable, except maybe the smiley face with her tongue. And yet it made the top videos, wrought with comments about masturbation, oral sex, and if she was "of age."

I just wish it were different, I suppose.

I'm home alone and have nothing better to do than respond to this thread, because a lot of the comments in here still bother me. So... here goes nothing.

>> The video in question (Dita) is an act of grace a beauty, not a vivid depiction of sex. The act is designed to be something that one merely watches, from which they are detached and it is forever that way. It is a solo act meant to please for the sake of a good show.


WRONG! There is absolutely nothing graceful or beautiful about that (or her, really). See my comment on the performance in a minute.


Dirty books, on the other hand, are of a couple's acts in the bedroom, written to suck the reader into the characters words and actions, even letting them place themselves into the character's shoes. The book is more about being a part of the act, making the reader imagine (through ample use of details and adjectives) every part of sex. It's porn you read, and not watch, though I will say it is not disgusting or objectifying as real porn.


You know why women love romance novels? Because we can imagine it's our significant other doing everything the protagonist in the novel is. Generally it's a scene that plays out in our minds with the characters, not us (women). But even if we were picturing ourselves in that mental scene, it would be with our significant other. Because really, the sex scenes in romance novels are a lot more exciting than ones in real life. If we got enough romance, we wouldn't need to read romance novels. There's nothing disgusting or objectifying about getting a little inspiration. It's erotica - not porn.


My question to you is this: How can you tell the internet in one comment that "Even I can appreciate burlesque" but in the next, tell the internet that it's not acceptable for men with significant others to watch it, if only for art of the performance?


Burlesque is an art, but that's not burlesque. That's a terrible, terrible striptease. You haven't seen any of the great old burlesque. It originated as a sort of comedy show. Gypsy Rose Lee (who, by the way, the Warner Brothers movie "Gypsy" is about. I guarantee you Dita is not burlesque if Warner Bros. did a burlesque movie) and Sally Rand (not quite as good, I don't think, but still notable, and the woman who originated the fan dance). Do you see any comedy in Dita's "work?" I didn't think so. It used to be a complete one-act comedy show, not a two-minute, poorly-done dance where you end up in nothing but nipple pasties and a g-string. Look up some of the Bettie Page stuff on here.

P.S. "Even I can appreciate burlesque" means I like some, but not this [Dita]. For someone who admits they've only seen two clips of burlesque, how dare you confront me on something like that? Look up the history of burlesque. Maybe watch someone other than Dita von Teese. It's like someone saying they don't like a particular artist, or a particular period in art history. It doesn't mean I dislike every painting ever made, or that no one should look at art anymore because I decided I don't like it. Burlesque has never been about the ability to strip down from a dress to pasties and a g-string in less than 20 seconds. There's nothing burlesque about her act - it's a striptease, pure and simple.


I hold that burlesque is only that; an art. I personally don't get any arousal from it, not does it raise any carnal desires within myself. Hell, I've only seen two instances of it, both here on the sift. The female body, with all it's curves, is designed to flow like water in almost all directions. Combined with graceful movements and a dynamic act, it is a thing of grace and beauty.


Oh please. You just admitted yourself you've only ever seen two instances of burlesque. How can you possibly go on about how graceful it is, and how it's such a glorious artform, when you've seen two "dances," both by the same woman?

As I looked around, I saw (obviously) many women in bikinis. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad about bikinis, but it got me thinking about the whole "objectification" thing. If women, as a whole, don't want to be objectified, why wear such a reveling swim suit when there are plenty of good looking alternatives? [edit] What I'm saying it that it opens them up to it.
And for that matter, why put make up on?


1) You've heard it before, but it obviously bears repeating - Women don't dress up for men. They dress up for other women. I shouldn't have to think every morning when I get dressed, "If I see someone with a penis today, will he say something lewd if I'm wearing this? Might someone possibly get excited?" I dress for other women. Would they think I'm attractive? Intimidating? Smart? Chic? If I wanted to dress to attract attention from men, I'd walk around in a bikini top and shorts. But I don't.

2) Just because women wear revealing clothing doesn't mean they're inviting you to look. I lost 20 pounds and bought myself a bikini, because I felt good about my body again. I regained so much self-confidence just by owning it, and that I was no longer embarrassed or felt fat walking around in one. That doesn't mean I wear it just to attract attention, or in the hopes that guys compliment me. I wouldn't take a compliment seriously if I was wearing a bikini anyway - I know my boobs are all you were looking at.

Maybe I wear makeup because I want to feel pretty, or I got a pimple this morning, or I have a sunburn and my skin tone is uneven. Why should it matter?

Even out... the gas and the brake? How about the gas and the clutch?
