Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy.
Now the funny thing is I've known women who actually have the gall to get angry at this sort of thing and site it as proof of rampant male chauvanism or "oppression of women." That's what life was like in the '70s and '80s especially...
Anyway, more funny at Nationalbanana.com.

Men look at breasts. It's hardwired into the male, at least the hetero male. If they didn't look at breasts, breasts would not be considered sex organs, even if secondary. Then they'd be like wrists or elbows. Men notice them, but don't look at them very much.
But I would appreciate an explanation of why women, who apparently dislike having their chests looked at, wear clothing with words written across their chests. Not only written, but made cryptic by the geometry of the region, thus ensuring that men spend even longer staring at their chests. And then to get pissed off?
Talks about 'Catch 22'...
May I suggest that such shirts be limited to no more than six or seven letters, ascertainable with a quick glance? Text that scrolls below the belt line is even more awkward.
And yes, this is one of the reasons why I wear sunglasses so dark you can't tell what I'm looking at.
More ostentatious is the trend of young women wearing short athletic shorts with lettering across the rear.
Makes me want to make it a point to move in close and stare, and then, when angrily questioned, say, "Sorry, I'm dyslexic."
"Um, is that an invitation?"
It's like trying not to stare at that pimple on your friend's forehead. Something that hugely, glaringly conspicuous just can't be ignored.
"Look if I had half my nuts hanging out of my shorts i wouldn't expect you to look me in the eye either."
Really though the whole purpose of breasts is to get attention. Don't fall for that baby feeding line, only the glands are needed for that, a completly flat chested woman can feed a child as well as a big chested one. Boobs tell males that a female is of breeding age (at the animal level, not social).
At the instictual level women know it, as do men. we accept it inside but social mores make us try to bury the instict for a politer society. Thus my try not to look and women get offended when we do. Deep down we all know what's going on.
Will there be compliments or complaints (from women, that is, I know the guys will complain)?
I also agree that it's silly for well-endowed women to wear low-cut, tight, revealing, or other garments which (basically) deliberately draw attention to the female torso, then become offended because men "stare at them."
Honey, if that's the issue, wear a very baggy sweater. End of fracking problem.
On the other hand, if they're just wearing a normal t-shirt... :)
One of the funniest t-shirts I've seen has an almost Zen-like quality. It's a tee for women, and the logo reads "Excuse me, but I do have a face..."
At one level it's really cruel, but at another level it's really funny.
I don't know why I personally set her off, I'm sure virtually every other male in the area was looking at them too, but she actually came over and asked me not to look at them. As I recall the conversation went something like this:
Her: "Why are you looking at my boobs?"
Me: "I have to assume that you want me to."
Her: "What! I want no such thing."
Me: "That's not what your choice of clothing says."
Her: "Hmph! I should be able to wear what I want."
Me: "Hmph! I should be able to look where I want."
Her: "I didn't wear this so YOU could look at me."
Me: "Well, that's what you get if you wear something like that. If you expect me to apologize for looking at something that you have consciously put out in the public arena on proud display, you are going to be seriously disappointed."
She walked off in a huff.
To this day I have no qualms whatsoever about pointedly looking at the breasts, or ass, of any girl who wears clothes that are so revealing. I assume they do it on purpose, and I feel absolutely no guilt whatsoever for looking. If they want to be treated like ladies, they can dress like one. If they want to be treated like tramps, they can dress like one. I'll accommodate them either way.
What's your objection to that? Is it a study in male-oppression that anyone should object to such a display?
If you want to get attention from females, you'd be better off displaying most of your wallet.
Heh, let the beatings begin. ;-)
Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.
Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
