Moral panics and whistling up the dogs : Comments

By Craig Minns, published 29/8/2016

This one is about the existence of a website on which schoolboys are sharing images of schoolgirls, which are, apparently, principally the work of those girls themselves in the form of 'selfies'.

Mostly agree Craig, The "men are evil, women are pure" is a strong theme in some circles, particularly in the corridors of the ABC.

It apparently is too hard to face the fact that girls/women like sex, like to look at porn and like to actually make porn.

For these people every time a girl/women does anything remotely sexual, its because a boy/man has forced them to do it.

When a boy/man does any of these things it's because they're evil.

If you speak to these latte set social worker types you would think that only boy/man look at porn, and looking at porn turns all boy/man into rapist.

but then again aren't all men rapist, wife bashing, peado thugs.

How much of this moralising is actually driven by jealousy of those better endowed. Most of the rampant women libbers I have seen would be told to go & cover up, if they did disrobe.

A link on one of my car sites led to a U Tube video entitled "Collage girls love showing their boobs/breasts" or something similar. It was some street celebration in Florida or New Orleans or similar, where lots of folk in skimpy outfits, or near naked, were wandering down the street.

People on balconies above the street or photographers on the street were giving any lady with bare boobs, or who would bare their boobs a necklace. Some young ladies had dozens of these.

It did appear that any lady immediately pulled her top up or down the moment a camera was pointed at them. They must have been aware the video was for publication, not private amusement. This video went for something like 20 minutes. On the theory of perhaps not seen one you've seen them all, but perhaps seen a few minutes of boobs, there is not much of interest to be seen in another 15 minutes, I went back to my cars.

I guess one would find as many bare boobs on a walk down any Gold Coast beach, however it was enough to convince me they are right. Girls, perhaps other than unexciting womens libbers, do love showing their breasts, & probably their other bits, if they won't get arrested for doing it. It appears the libbers want to have the boys arrested for merely helping the girls do it.

Clearly, if taken as a so called selfie? These pics are/were only ever intended for an audience of one! One has to wonder at the brain dead blame their victims attitude of immature "men" to share this precious intended intimacy with a world of decrepit creeps! And just downright dumb!

Young people with a pronounced predilection for so called sexting, need to understand, once this downloadable data hits the airwaves, it can become public property! And come back to bite you on your allegorical arse in later life and usually at the most inconvenient time Be warned!

Thanks for the responses folks.

Cobber, yes, there does seem to be an effort being made to create a modern form of "sanctified womanhood" as a default model in public discussion. There's nothing new in this concept, it's been a standard pretence of the petit bourgeoisie for at least several generations. As my Mum used to say of such people: "she's as pure as the driven slush"...

Hasbeen, girls getting their tits out for the boys has been a feature of gatherings of the young and young at heart for as long as I can remember. The wet t-shirt competition was a standard feature of all sorts of events for at least a couple of decades and there was rarely a shortage of competitors or enthusiastic spectators (including lots of cheering girls).

Alan, keeping the fear alive as always... Care to have a go at telling us just what dire consequences might befall a young lass if her image happens to fall into the wrong hands, or are you just another moral panic merchant?

I'd just like to point out that there was a serious question at the end of that piece. If feminism is a genuinely important school of thought and not just another political beat-up, which I think it deserves to be, then what are the serious issues worthy of adult discussion that it should be tackling?

How boring - little more than a collection of adolescent cliches.

To paraphrase Bill Shakespeare- there is much much more to feminism, Shakti,the Goddess, or the Feminine Principle than Craig's diminished "philosophy" allows.

As a starter why not check out the topic Voices of The Sacred Feminine: Conversations to Re-Shape Our World by Karen Tate.

"what are the big issues facing women, children and men today that are worthy of being properly considered within a feminist model?"
Craig, those questions have actually been addressed in the Anne Summers article you mentioned. Did you actually read it? Or did you just see the word "fight" and stop there :)
Personally I don't see what Feminism or Marxism has to do with the price of fish here... The kids were breaking the law, both boys and girls, pure and simple, by distributing photos of "underagers" (themselves included). The online creeps were breaking the law, too, but that's another story.
Both boys and girls like to attract attention. They are just not mature enough to realise that in the digital age they can't choose whose attention they are attracting. The moral panic is more about the adults/parents/teachers at a loss what to do with these kids and how to manage their online behavior.
