Natural Selection of Beliefs/Viewpoints

El Malvado
El Malvado: Why is it that there's a press to silence what disagrees with personal views (not in violation of rules or laws)?

I've noticed this not only on wire but also outside of it. This sheltered stance of needing to wrap oneself up in an echo chamber of "dont confront my views or show me anything that disagrees"

Why will anyone who chooses to air their viewpoint not want to see how it stands up under opposing views. If it stands then keep it, if it fails then it'll make sense to refine it or discard it depending on points raised.

This is why dialogue, debates, banter even, is important. Everyone doesn't and wouldn't agree with each other's convictions but letting it face open testing is how we refine them and rid ourselves of falsely held ones.

If you want to share a conviction (real or facetious) go on.

lori100: like the actress in the deleted video...she oiled up her big breasts and displayed them for all to see in a very low cut dress...Conan and others noticed and she got annoyed that he stared....exposing your body deliberately for attention will get you attention...hard to believe ...

El Malvado:
I think you missed the point. There are two independent thoughts:

1. Women must be cautious of realistic sexual dangers.
2. Men need to develop self control over behaviour and action that will affect the other individual.

The two are not related. Placing a 'but' between them will nullify the other.

My position is that teaching self control (in behaviour) as a masculine trait when it comes to attraction/feelings, can be done independently and it seems to still be lacking. The behaviour of acting out sexual harassment.

I don't speak this to you women, it's to my fellow men. Most of whom get it and practice it.

If you wish to address women and instil some dress code then that's another topic.

Aura: Oiled breasts in a low cut dress?

The thought upsets me


Do you know how hard it is to get oil out of fabric? Why would you ruin a dress? For what? You can get the same results with a little bit of body glitter -_-

Hold up. Don't pretend you do things specifically for men as a whole. We didn't even consider creating shiny breasts as a thing. Who sat down and said "You know what Joe, how can we improve women's *ehems*? Idk Bob, throw in some glitter? or Oil? Make it shine" We were very contented with whatever. Women decided to do what they pleased.

Aura
Aura: Oh I don't know. There's something to be said for oil and glitter making a person more attractive. I kinda like glistening flesh myself as well. It is connected in the mind to being sweaty, and the way people usually get sweaty is by vigorous exercise *cough*
Of course the advantage of oils and/or glitters is that it tends to smell more pleasant than actual sweat.

El Malvado:
Um, What about strip clubs?

A stripper has a specific job. Even though she dances or strips, she's doing it for a professional reason. She's not in love or cares or is 'asking for it'.

Even in a strip joint you have self-control levels. You can't grab them or do what you feel to do. When she leaves her job, you still have no entitlement when you see her at the supermarket.

haha Lori smh..smh being turned on is natural, that is something internal and doesn't need specific triggers. However, how you act/behave on this is solely up to you. That's all.

Aura
Aura: Now I feel obligated to say arousal is not an excuse for action Just so lori doesn't think I'm agreeing with the " some women flaunt their bodies and expect no consequences"

Unless the arousal itself is seen as a consequence....
