Re-assessing men's magazines : Comments

By Matthew Holloway, published 23/12/2011

Could girly magazines be moving average male attitudes to females closer to that of the rapist?

Yoo hoo, Kalam a Tee, you have to understnd the psychology of your opponents to understand their point of view.

Some people have a compulsive need to think that they are better than everybody else and they will always look for ways to display to the world that they are God's gift to the human race.

This makes them easy targets for those people who know how to exploit them. Vested intersts in the print and visual media spread the message that anyone who supports any form of censorship is a religious fanatic, a crank, a puritan, an idiot, or (shock, horror) a conservative, while anyone who advocates total freedom of expression is an enlightened, intelligent, social progressive.

That is why they gulp down the message that all censorship is stupid, hook, line, and sinker. That is also why so many of our opponents are hardly bothering to even read our posts and understand our points of view, before launching attacks upon what we have said that completely ignore the points we have submitted. They have already prejudged us as cretins, so they don't really care what we write. All they have to do is respond with sneery one liners, insults, and sarcasm based upon total exagerations of what we have written. It is far easier than having to respond with objective reasoning and informed argument.

Better for them to keep massaging their vanity than to concentrate on what the author of this article actually wrote, or what others have responded with, than to let a little objectivity percolate through their impermeable craniums.

well said leggo
but be carefull mate
i got banned from so many forums
saying just that sort of thought

[those who claim to not read
do read...]...or rather scan...looking for a key word

so i went to your id
looking for key words
noted you didnt post for months
why was that?

personally i thought it was just responding
to a higher call..[mossad]...but your last post..forces me to rethink

oh well lets just agree to disagree
and go with what we agree on

[my mind will still allways be filtering
but hey so too with you..so its all good...neither of us has any real power....beyond the ability to read...and reply..to defend or offend as our set mindfs have conditioned us to be]

as for me..all i got is that i know
i never been overly loved..so dont have many fetishes
every place i post..i hope i find love..or leave love./..but words dont mean nuthing compared to works

still i find agreement with your words
but find words cant say everything

only one true good[god]
all the rest are just paths to good

find our way..
by choicing the better path..of the menche'
not the clay man...wearing sins skins of war and hate

peace not pieces

peace begins
where all things begin

in the heart
forming then fermenting the imagry in our mind
control the imagry..control the mind

set our minds free
our bodies follow

yes porn can be tittleating
but there are higher and lower steps
but each is only a step...[too much of anything..takes the excitement out of its doing]..thats why hell works..by giving us too much..

so much
we arnt thirsty anymore
mags are like a cross between comfort eating potato chips
and carbonate coke..to flush away the taste

anyhow just chewing my gum's
using my finger...type..into word

Ad hominem attacks in place of arguments? Bless me, what do they teach them at these schools?

It's not big and it's not clever, LEGO. And it certainly won't win you any debates. It's difficult to score points when you're playing the man and not the ball. I suggest you try to concentrate on the issues at hand, rather than throwing a tantrum and insulting anybody with the temerity to question your infallible wisdom.

OUG,
Why not try “Bust” magazine.

It is “Smart, Sexy and Dedicated to Your Pleasure” with articles such as:

“The Muppets star Miss Piggy weighs in on life as the world’s most glamorous puppet.”

“Our editors tracked down the season’s best budget-friendly buys so you don’t have to!”

“Daringly dark fashions modeled by the incomparable Dum Dum Girls”

http://www.bust.com/

But not for men unfortunately.

Any reading material they read has to be censored, to ensure it won’t affect their brains.

"OUG
Why not try "Bust" magazine."

vanna,

Why not try Dickens or Hugo - or even Proust.

We're all here to support you, you know.

Dear vanna,

I would also recommend the following book to you:

"A Nation In The Making: Australia at The Dawn
of The MOdern Era," by Alasdair McGregor,
Australian Geographic, $59.95.

"It's a collection of 205 photographs showcasing
urban and rural life during the years leading up
to Federation in 1901. It's not just a compelling
social history, it's a rare chance to see on the
most significant photographic collections of
early Australia. The Tyrrell collection, assembled
by Sydney bookseller James R. Tyrrell, was sold to
Australian Consolidated Press, then under Kerry
Packer's ownership, who transferred the images to
negative form, then donated almost 8000 plates to
Sydney's Powerhouse Museum.

This anthology reveals the best of that collection, including
some telling images of women and children, which show how
far we have come."
(Taken from - "The Australian Women's Weekly," January 2012
issue). ;-)
