Happy Penis Day
Is it just me, or does anyone else see a double standard here?

This is fucking stupid. I want a "My Penis is Studious" shirt.

Wow. Some things I tell ya...This is silly though...my penis is happy every day.
I see the double standard yes. Asta!! |
What would they say if a play was put out where a 24-year-old man invited a 13 year old girl into a car, takes her to his house, gives her some vodka and seduces her?
Everyone immediately sees that scenario as an evil heinous crime, but its perfectly ok if its two girls? The double standard crap has to stop. |
To think that society has no and should not have double standards is living in a state of denial. Fact of life is that people ARE different and these differences should be taken into account. Especially with regard to sex.
Women are frailer than men in general and shouldn't be required to play some sports in the same league with men and at the same level for instance. However, this is just stupid. Just because women have been treated unfairly in the past does not give them the right to reverse the roles now. That's equality... not female dominance. Hell... doing stuff like this is completely counter productive. And people should get it through their Politically Correct brainwashed minds. If fenemist radicals get the right to display a "40-foot inflatable plastic vagina" then men should be able to poke fun at that with a little satire. Sorry, stuff like this always irritates me, I am a man and have a lot of respect for women and hate to see femenist radicals make a mockery of that respect with a lot of man-hating behaviour that gets condoned because everybody is too scared to be Politically Incorrect. And I know a lot of women who agree with me. |

The original intent of the Vagina Monologues was to raise awareness about and prevent the violence that goes on against women every day in every part of the globe (Yes, there's violence against men too) But last time I checked, there wasn't a male equivelent of FGM.
Reading about what Roger Williams College did for V-Day, doesn't seem completely within the spirit of what the Vagina Monolgues was about. I've seen the show, I have never seen what they are talking about with the seduction of an underage person, to romanticize that, flies in the face of what the Vagina Monologues was supposed to be about, that is the violence against women and girls. Since Roger Williams activities didn't seem to get the spirit of the event.. What does your vagina smell like? Hello? What? Just more than a little crude... Penis Day, even though the organizers admit to it being crude, doesn't seem any less crude than what was organized for Vagina Day. |
^ Yes I've caught moments of the Vagina monologues myself. I figured it would be a good way to gain some awareness and maybe some useful information too. Never have seen all of it but I definitely didn't see anything like what is described in the Roger Williams V-Day.
But yes how it unfolded is definitely unfair. But unless men and women alike stand up for things like this they will always happen...I say men and women alike because it would never work with just men..we'd come off as women haters or perhaps shovanists rather than the offensed. Asta!! |
I have never been aware of V-Day, however maleficent has explained it as a way to raise awareness and prevent violence against women.
From what I've read above, V-Day expression has changed somewhat, to something like a celebration of women promoting their sexuality and vagina. In that light I can understand the introduction of P-Day, and why not? Both crude but I can see the humour in it. Underlying that I can also see that society is obviously not comfortable with men reclaiming some pride and acceptance of who they are, genetically and biologically. |
This seems to be a topic where everyone more or less is in agreement.
Which is a good thing, because I'm strangely disturbed by K-Wise's avatar. I think I need to go to the Titty Board for awhile. |
^ :lol: You can thank jwoody and Bernadette for that avatar..and blame Nancy for it still being up haha. I don't think you would have found my previous any less disturbing though /end threadjack

This is very much so a double standard and it shouldn't stand. However in the school's defense I don't think it's acceptable to bash them based upon what OTHER schools have or have not allowed. I mean as crass as it is selling a vagina lollypop isn't as extreme as a giant walking 6 foot penis. That's going to be a BIT more disruptive. I would however like to see how it would be treated on the campuses that had more extreme "V" day celebrations.
Although you have to admit the image of a university administrator warmly welcoming a giant penis and mistaking it for a mushroom and then the shock and horror of him realizing he's not shaking hands with a mushroom... |
ROFL
http://www.rwucr.com/testaclese/img/clese1.jpg definently a double standard... they dont do that kind of stuff when the vagina monologues come to tech... seem to be a lot more in the spirit of what it was intended |

I originally had typed that men taking charge of their penis's would do little to change violence against men, but the more I thought about it, maybe it would. The organizer's original intent was to be crude... rather than trying to get a message out... they really didn't have a message, other than to be crude. I"m not sure that they got the actual message behind V-Day, but there is one... So in that case, there's really not a double standard. |
Thanks for the link maleficent.. I'm a little confused though..
Which organizer's intent? The event of V-Day on the link is totally different than what I read above. I think it's a shame that the intention of the day has been skewed to "What does your vagina smell like?"... in my opinion I don't understand how an event can be belittled to this? And is this not what the boys were trying to show? |
I'm confused...
Asking a woman what her vagina smells like empowers her to speak out about violence against women? Selling vagina-shaped lollipops puts out an anti-rape message? I'm not sure I'm the one thats confused here... Don't get me wrong, I'm completely against violence against women, but I am at a loss as to how sniffing oneself and selling candy versions of ones genitalia empowers anyone... |
This is the basic double standard stuff.
Women gooooood, men baaaaad. |
There is always an equal opportunity offender out there ready to try and make a point. Whatever the point may be in this case....*eyes rolling*....emphasis on the "whatever".
|
All of this makes me think that Hallmark is missing out on two great opportunities. Yes, folks, another Hallmark moment. Maybe it's time someone else started some competition for Hallmark with v day and p day!!
