Incredibly lazy blogging
I love hairy women. I find it very natural and very attractive. Blokes I know feel the same so it's so sad that many women feel the need to conform with peers instead of giving the men what they want - curvy, natural and hairy instead of thin, cosmetic and hairless.Dan, Cambridge, UK
I found this comment here where comedian Shazia Mirza is speaking of her decision not to shave.
Anyone want to make a suggestion about why it pissed me off?
1 pt to you if you get it right
2pts to you if you make me think of another reason to be pissed off by it

"instead of giving the men what they want"
??
Not to mention 'feel the need to...', as if beauty standards aren't real, and women are just confused.
makin' it all about the men and what they want...
You have a pet on your blog!
SC:
Horse, dead, really. Jo has commented at my place before, I've read here before,if Jo would like me not to read here, I will stop.
Jo has a pet at the bottom of the blog page. It's a wolf and it follows the cursor. Just scroll right down to see it.
Stormy: Your second comment seems to sum up where you're at quite well.
You begin with apology, which I take as sincere, at least in a "Oh shit, I've let my anger show again kind of way."
Then, you say: "Two weeks ago I sincerely asked for a truce between the pro- and anti- porn camps, and it was met with comment after comment, and multiple posts that were anti-rad.
Whereas the rads have NOT been doing same.'
I agree and disagree. There has been much nastiness from both sides -- cloaked or otherwise. I mean, you have to admit you've been guilty of "nastiness" yourself, Stormy as I have I.
(Except, as neither pro or anti porn, I'm not sure I even get heard in much of this. No, wait yes I do: I get NO PROBLEMS from the pro-porn camp -- they don't care. Rads however dislike that I'm "gray" here. Anyway...)
Forgive me for doing an Armchair Psych Profile on you Storm but Comments like this "But then, that's what it's all about isn't it, RE, keep baiting until someone finally retaliates, then hold up that one comment as "see, THEY are just as bad" show me your MAD AS HELL. I think, maybe ideally, you'd like to be polite and have truces, but damn it -- some bloggers just PISS YOU OFF!
Which, you know, is okay.
I know that feeling and have been guilty of making some low blows.
This: "Perhaps I should do my little statistical analysis on the comments and posts over the last two weeks??? "
LET.
IT.
GO.
Do we need more "roundups" of Operation Wasp type crap?
Do we?
I mad, Ren's mad, Storm's mad, mad mad mad. (I'm PISSED really, as yet another rad fem as gone and torn a woman down and done her a great wrong while working her same old agenda and I'm EVEN more pissed that I don't have the guts to "go there." But you know what? Why should I? SHE won't change, I won't change. She sees things thru her Experience-Specific Glasses, I see thru mine, you know? Blog yelling blog yelling on and on NOTHING CHANGES.
We women (fogive infantile caps, but I simply must)LET INTO EACH OTHER WITH FAR MORE HATE AND PASSION THAT WE DO WITH THE DREADED PATRIARCHY. WE ATTACK ONE ANOTHER AND NURSE OLD WOUNDS WE GIVE EACH OTHER FAR HARDER AND LONGER THAN WE DO ANY INJUSTICE TO WOMEN.
What in the HELL is up with this?
Oh, hell -- just forget it.
Sorry for typo and halfthoughts.
SC-
I "take things" they way they hit me when I read them. It's not a matter of twisting, it's the impression I got, and continue to get, from certain people.
I didn't see Jo's wolf, perhaps s/he does not load on my browser. Noted.
"Please, stop reading more into my words than is there, and don't bother with the arm-chair shrinking either."

What are you lot on about?
Yes I have a pet wolf at the bottom of my blog page. It is a she, and she is called Wolf.
Now stop bickering.
Oh, and if you click on her face she growls, and if you click on her arse she sits. Seconds of fun.
Oh, but that's not all Jo. She also eats chops and howls at the moon. I had more than a few seconds of fun - double that at least.
OK, let's deal with the hairy post.
1. He loves hairy women. How is that relevant?
2. He finds it natural. Women have hair. What men think about it has nothing to do with whether or not it is natural.
3. He finds it attractive - again, this is irrelevant.
4. He thinks it's sad that, arghh, I give up, I haven't got all night. How can one man get such a short comment so wrong.
A romantic weekend on a cruiseship for three or more.
The emphasis on what MEN want rather than women having positive ideas of the natural female body. It's like, if I try to have a feminist discussion with a man who isn't aware that its not all about what he wants, its about women's wellbeing, positive body image and happiness, not his!! Grr...some men really piss me off.
I love your lovely wolf!! I have a kitten on my blog :-D
Just de-lurking, I don't think I've commented before, your blog is fab =D
Hi Fallingstar, thanks for dropping by. Just added you to blogroll. Love your kitten!
Yes, of course I was pissed off by his "what the men want" arrogance, that what he personally considers attractive should be in any way relevant to women shaving or not.
I'm sure he was trying to earn a few brownie points in a sea of men going "ugh! hair!", but unfortunately he came across as an idiot. Ah well, shit happens.
You all have loads of points and are coming on the cruiseship with me and my wolf.
