I don't claim to understand women but I do think that men overcomplicate
them, and women tend to go along with it. Lying is a good example. Men lie
to women all the time, and think that women believe them. They don't, but
they let men continue with their false belief. For any value of n that men
possess in a nth order attribution of false belief, women have n+1. 

Put more simply, so the little ladies can understand it, women are always
one step ahead of men.

That's why Elizabeth Bennet always wins, however often you read the damn

Marnie,
I was only half joking.
My first thought also was she's pregnant.
I chaulked it up to lens distortion, perhaps a wide angle too close?
Living with my wife thru her 3 pregnancies gives me a perspective.
Being pregnant is sexy on an intellectual level -
'I know what you've been doing',
but not so much in the 1st and 3rd trimester when she's cranky.

RE: OT PESO - NSFW Apparently!

2009-11-02 Thread Desjardins, Steve
OTOH, the photographer is also a sexual being who will, typically, find one sex 
more attractive than the other.  The photographer will not be able to 
completely prevent their own sexual perspective from affecting their 
reaction/composition for male and female models.   My objectification of any 
model is an unavoidable part of reducing them to an image.  The extent to 
which this is sexism depends on the typical reaction of the viewer.  If a gay 
male photographer objectifies a male model is it sexist?

Yup, art objectifies.  That's pretty much what art does.  However
another definition of objectification is to externalize, and in the

we're concerned about is that she's got a hot bod, and is wearing few

attractive lady and was presented as such. The rendering and pose were  
artful. Is it wrong to enjoy the beauty of her figure? Many take

Paul,

Please read what I said.

I didn't use the word demeaning, Bruce did (in response to my post).

I said it was sexist.  I didn't say it was wrong or bad (although I do
have opinions in that regard which I'll not get into).  I didn't say
that you shouldn't enjoy it.  I didn't say that David (or anyone else)
shouldn't post it.  As a matter of fact, if you go back two posts I
~very specifically~ said:  I'm not saying that I'm offended or that
such photos ought not be posted (far be it from me to be a
censor!)...

I said that it isn't my thing, but I didn't try to say what anyone
else should or shouldn't like or post.

As for your argument that because we don't cover beautiful hair or
faces and therefore we ought not cover cover beautiful bodies, well,
I'm not the one who says that we can't walk about in public without
clothes.  You know very well that the issue isn't beauty, it's about
what society says is obscene or lewd.

I'm no prude, but I try to be sensitive to certain issues - including
the fact that women have been objectified and portrayed in ways that
men rarely are.  I don't like it when it involves men,  but due to our
history, I'm much more sensitive when it happens to women.

This isn't  about Political Correctness - I'm just articulating my
opinion.  You're entitled to yours, and I think no more or less of
anyone whose opinion isn't in accords with mine - including you and
all my friends on this list.

cheers,

well I wrote David off list but I can't resist commenting here...
Frankly, I don't like the photo on any level... but if David shot it for 
a very specific reason for the model, that's a different thing.
The  plain fact is I'm guessing that the reason it got booted or refused 
or whatever was because her hands were too close to her yoni - in 
combination with her provacative come hither look ( the puns will start 
now)...


I have a friend who sells what you might call artistic nudes and a bit 
of explicit stuff as well and even under the qualification
of adult verification required listings the absolutely forbidden 
content is hands on anything um down there


This isn't a matter of political correctness in my view either.  It

As for your argument that because we don't cover beautiful hair or
faces and therefore we ought not cover cover beautiful bodies, well,
I'm not the one who says that we can't walk about in public without
clothes.  You know very well that the issue isn't beauty, it's about
what society says is obscene or lewd.

I'm no prude, but I try to be sensitive to certain issues - including
the fact that women have been objectified and portrayed in ways that
men rarely are.  I don't like it when it involves men,  but due to our
history, I'm much more sensitive when it happens to women.

This isn't  about Political Correctness - I'm just articulating my
opinion.  You're entitled to yours, and I think no more or less of
anyone whose opinion isn't in accords with mine - including you and
all my friends on this list.

cheers,
frank

Political correctness run amok?

Calling a photo of a scantily clad young lady sexist is political
correctness run amok?

Okay...

 ;-) 



I'd say it depends on the situation when the photo was taken.

As I understand it, the young lady in question was there specifically to 
have her scantily clad photo taken. And was happy to do so.


Calling it sexist is inappropriate.

Not perhaps political correctness run amok, but certainly an 
undeserved pejorative.

2009-10-31 Thread John Sessoms

From: ann sanfedele

well I wrote David off list but I can't resist commenting here...
Frankly, I don't like the photo on any level... but if David shot it for 
a very specific reason for the model, that's a different thing.
The  plain fact is I'm guessing that the reason it got booted or refused 
or whatever was because her hands were too close to her yoni - in 
combination with her provacative come hither look ( the puns will start 
now)...




I understood him that it only got booted from a single group. Not that 
it was a bad photo, but that it didn't fit in with what that 
particular group's moderator thought should be in there.


The photo is still in David's photo-stream and could be in other groups 
as well.


Her hands are no closer to anything than if she'd been wearing Daisy 
Dukes and jammed them in the pockets.


I have a friend who sells what you might call artistic nudes and a bit 
of explicit stuff as well and even under the qualification
of adult verification required listings the absolutely forbidden 
content is hands on anything um down there


This isn't a matter of political correctness in my view either.  It 
bothers me that she looks pregnant, as well.


The nude/semi-nude big pregnant belly is a major seller now-a-days, 
although it's usually shot more from the side.
