Holy fucksocks; is this thread a shit-show.
I’m just gonna set this here for all those lovely menfolk who swear that “they know best” and see myself out.
"And DON’T tell me what to do
And DON’T tell me what to say
And when I go out with you
DON’T put me on display!
You don’t own me
Don’t try to change me in any way
You don’t own me
Don’t tie me down ,
'Cuz I’ll never stay…"
Woah, WTF. Did a whole crapload of posts just disappear?
(Yes, yes they did.)
Yeah, massive thread de-railment resulting in the bruising of egos and the indignity of invoking an Electric Stove Range as comparison. Can’t say I blame the mods (rule 24: Keep The Park Clean), but damn, scary to see it go poof in real time.
You have an Orthodox Jewish yoga instructor? I’m jelly.
Holy Crocs, @Melizmatic wasn’t kidding around. This thread is 'Mansplain Bingo Night at the Logical Fallacy Corral.

Careful, that’s somebody’s fetish. Not me, who do you think I am, @japhroaig?
Try banning menz from wearing gauge earrings in Austin and you’d see just how quickly the revolution can come.
Slightly more seriously and very slightly more on topic, secondary sex organs seem highly idiosyncratic. I know lots of guys nipples are arousal regions (don’t ask me how I know and I won’t tell), but it’s never been a thing for me. I keep that in mind because I figure if dudes’ arousal regions can be that different, then my guess is so can anybody’s. Hence my rule of thumb: When in the sack, ask for guidance; when not in the sack, mind your own damn beeswax you pervert!
Here’s the thing. I once was such many moons ago. And now that I know what time it is, I’m among those who can just not get involved in these threads I foresee heading south. But I’m a dude. Not the Dude, but still a dude. Women, they can’t escape this. I don’t just mean this particular thread. It’s their rights on the line. So for allies like us who can pick and choose battles to fight, it’s important to remember that we can do that because it isn’t our human dignity at stake. Beyond that, because I know your comment was meant well, understand that they know all about that. They know their tone is being judged because that’s how it’s been for them since they were old enough to talk. If sometimes some women get a little trenchant, I politely advise realizing that they have their own reasons.
ITT: breasts are sex organs.
O_O
I don’t know why you are addressing that comment to me, but they’re secondary sex characteristics.
Cut off the boobs and the body can still reproduce offspring.
The comments about breasts being sex organs must have gotten eaten, but there are replies starting here:
Amazing that this is up for debate somehow.
I think we’ve been having sex all wrong.
Need to use our boobs not our vaginas.
So glad they told me!
Because for some men, boobs aren’t about the human being they’re attached to, but about how they make them feel. They see them as being related to sex instead of sustenance, because they personally find boobs attractive, so they must be about sex…
Just a small reminder that not all religious people are authoritarian, patriarchal nut jobs:
That article gave a slight booster to my flagging faith in humanity. Much needed and appreciated.
ETA: But then we have hypocrites like this pastor…
There was also this guy
