I admit it..... I fantasize (a lot) about women.....

And in those fantasies we are NEVER talking about our jobs. Or children. Or volunteering to save the manatees.

In those fantasies we are mostly having sex with each other and doing unspeakable acts to each other all in the name of pure pleasure.

What is worse, so I now find out, is that in these fantasies ALL of the women are very attractive. Hell, in these fantasies, I am better looking (if that was possible, I know). I have tried lately to think of unattractive women when fantasizing but there are no swimsuit photos of Hillary Clinton on the interwebs (Ha ha ha!) so my mind tends to turn to more attractive types.

I know I need help and soon. I sent away for my Margaret Thatcher blow up doll, but I am afraid it won't make it by the Holidays.

Poor Julia Roberts till then eh?

but the management of the place certainly does. BTW, there aren't anywhere near 200K active accounts --the number is probably closer to 5000. I only point that out because the odds are so different and with the number of juries that LEAVE stuff like this it feels less like the luck of the draw and more like a window into the shifting sentiments of DUers.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
Mail Message
At Mon Dec 23, 2013, 08:32 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Benny should have put some music in the OP
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4220381

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

The video is inappropriate for du. Women shouldn't have to put up with this crap here.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Dec 23, 2013, 08:58 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm a fan of snark (and liked the gesture) but I gotta side with the alerter. Sorry dude
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sex is a beautiful thing
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter needs to explain him or herself more. Given the "male gaze" wars of du jour, it seems perfectly appropriate.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Many of the images were acceptable, but several seemed overboard. More importantly why is anyone using DU to extend their sexual fantasies. I'm not a fan of censorship in most cases, and I can see an argument for allowing this post for the purpose of engaging discussion, but this post seems to belong elsewhere. This is the first time I've run across material like this on DU and it simply seems out of place. The more I think about this the less I am sure I am correct in my opinion, but I also want children to engage in DU discussions and because of that I stand by my vote.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's the Holidays. Let it be. Boy's will be ummm something
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Not right… This is pretty much baiting right here.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

the appropriate course of action is to bring it to Skinner's attention rather than engaging in petty gossip.

I realize it may shock you to believe that more than five women on the planet consider themselves equal human beings entitled to full human rights, but it is the 21st century and not the 19th, as inconvenient as you may find that fact. Time marches on, while some opt to relegate themselves to the dustbin of history.

Tue Dec 24, 2013, 06:08 AM
Dec 2013

In order to avoid understanding the actual context, but it began because I posted in HOF an Indian PSA about street harassment, the kind that is part of the culture of rape and murder in that country. Redqueen reposted it in GD. It got over 125 recs, but a couple of men decided that such an ad was an affront to their right to treat women as garbage. That an Indian PSA is too progressive for a few around here is really their problem.

I had no idea. To what? And what is awfully telling?

It appears to me that I'm entitled to the presumption of guilt, since I'm a man, unless I climb on the HOF bandwagon.

I don't need to be "educated" on things that my parents taught me 40-50 years ago - a code of conduct that I've lived my whole life. None of the women who have been in my life have ever thought of me the way you presume me to be. This is a website for liberals and progressives. I assume that every man here knows how to treat women with respect. Everyone here is entitled to the presumption of innocence.

What you're seeing is push-back against arrogant and insulting presumptions and accusations.

Admit it, come on - you treat women differently than men. You kiss them, have sex with them, hold hands with them, look at them.

Don't worry though, a little re-neducation (simpson's reference) and we will have you doing the same thing with men and you won't be a bad person and feel ashamed anymore.

Oh, and you won't be harming those women anymore by your actions (why can't men see the pain they cause women when they only hold their hands and not that of other men???).

I do take your point -- and I used to get ogled myself quite a bit back in my younger days. It's the boobs -- for some reason boobs make men stupid. (Maybe that's why they call them "boobs," I don't know.).

Anyway, one of the many perks of getting old is that that doesn't happen much anymore. It is a blessing.

I'm having a great holiday season. All the shopping and wrapping were done weeks ago, so it's just been baking cookies and planning Christmas dinner for us and the kids. Easy-peasy.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef01348641bc49970c-400wi

Wish her looks were the only thing to worry about with her.

Your implicit assumption that there is one measure of "attractive" that allows you to categorize one woman as attractive, and another as unattractive, and assume that everyone will take these assessments as self-evident, and to do so in such a public form without regard for the response, is just one of the things that makes you and your post so singularly unattractive.

But maybe you can still get away with the "sorry, I was drunk" excuse.

I too fantasize about women all the time. The difference is to know who wants to hear about it.

So their response to a post about a video seeking to raise awareness about harassment is to view it as an attack on their own sexuality. For some reason, they can't distinguish physical attraction from predatory behavior. Don't ask me why.

Unwanted Sexual Advances? Cat calling I can understand. But how exactly will I know if it's unwanted if I don't actually approach her. I mean it's not like I'm telepathic here, or is there a memo I didn't get. Say I see an attractive(that word believe it or not has a very complex continuum for men, I find many body types of women sexy and I'm not talking about hair color) woman and I approach her NOT because of her t'n'a but because shes maybe wearing an Iced Earth shirt or something else that shows a common interest is that than okay, or am I supposed to wait for some signal? Look if your talking about repeated advances after making it clear that you are otherwise attached or just not interested than certainly yes that is not okay. But again, not a mind reader so if I'm interested how the hell do I communicate that fact without approaching her or otherwise getting her attention? I mean sometimes I wonder just how many women who talk about unwanted advances are actually talking about being bothered by advances from UGLY guys. Again not that a woman doesn't have a right to her personal space. But ya'll get mad at us for liking to look at naked pictures of attractive women and say we shouldn't be so superficial than when a guy who doesn't exactly look like Johnny Depp approaches you eyeball the poor bastard like he's the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I agree that yes Beauty standards for women are becoming unrealistic and I agree that women shouldn't be blamed for being victimized because of what they wear. But damn it all what the hell are we supposed to do than? Wear a big ass sign that says "GIRLFRIEND WANTED".

Which is what girls get called if they are the ones to show interest.

It's the old fashioned sexist rule that men get to chose and women are to be chosen from.

True, most guys who fit "ugly" should accept that and not figure they are going to get any positive reaction when they insist on asking good looking women out, because well, Billy Joel managed it.

You don't have to look like Johnny Depp, but maybe talking to the girl instead of ogling might be more useful.
