Hey, Botheration.

I see you wrote somewhere that you had a little crush on CJ? (I thought it was on this thread). Well...snap!

* Thought: maybe we could mud-wrestle over CJ dressed in g.strings and nipple caps and send that in to Zoo. Waddya reckon?

Seriously: I find CJ's posts insightful, intelligent, calm, funny, ironic, fair and the style altogether enviable. Seems a very together sort of human being.

Why thank you Romany (and botheration). I find myself blushing a little - and it takes a fair bit for that to happen!

Seriously, one of the nice things about participating in this forum is encountering people such as yourselves, who can always be relied upon to provide reason and light, often in the face of extreme prejudice, ignorance and downright idiocy.

Re your mud-wrestling proposal: can my partner and I take part too? Sounds like too much fun for me not to want to get 'down and dirty' too, and she'd undoubtedly pout if she's not allowed to play.

Cheers, and have a great day :)

botheration,

'and still have the right to say exactly what they think of the competitions in Zoo magazine.'

But nobody has taken away that right. They just haven't done what the feminists wanted, and made fun of their suggestion. That's what has pissed her off really I think.

My point is I would be unsurprised if the same sort of thing happened when a man tried to critique a feminist publication.

I think the best response was from BN.

You could read Audrey Apple’s blogsite,

There is lots of profanity, gossip, feminism and derogatory remarks made about males, (including derogatory remarks of both men and boys), so it is something you may enjoy.

And she also describes Germaine Greer as being “sexy”, but I don't know too many men who think that way.

C.J.,

Hell yeah. We could make it a tag team event. And maybe Audrey, with her talent for "profanity" could talk dirty to the judges about it. We'd be a shoo-in for the coveted prize!

Romany,

I can imagine the appeals process.

Judge, I can’t be accused of gossip, profanity or the maligning of men and boys.

I'm a feminist, and I write a blogsite, and my readers appreciate that type of literature.
