Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm newly single and went on my works Christmas party and they were obsessed with finding me someone because apparently I'm not allowed to be single and also the split second you aren't with someone, then obviously the best way for everyone to get over it is to jump on every member of the opposite sex. I somehow ended up causing 'scandal' by dancing with a guy instead.

There's always a hierarchy. Even in paradise.

Nobody quoted John Stuart Mill. Why did nobody quote John Stuart Mill?

It's not really a thread for these days, I guess. Too quiet. Or maybe nobody does care ha.

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood. Have my above reply as a response to the girl/boy thing. As for shaming children into not exploring their sexuality with inanimate objects (I think that's where you are going) then you have to look at the target market for this. It isn't aimed at the children but for parents who buy for them.

Do you mean gender, rather than sexuality? And yes, fair point. On the other hand it is fair that these things are posted across FB (where I saw it about three times), to raise the issue you raised and therefore develop and refine ideas, but also for people who never even consider these things. It is certainly the case that these things should be discussed in depth and all arguments criticised, but it's vital that simplified debates aren't annulled, otherwise plenty of the people who don't normally give a thought to these issues won't interact with it. Unfortunately, those people need to be pandered to for a full societal shift on the matter. That pic could be the thing that makes somebody click and sets them on the road to a new way of thinking, even if by the end of that journey they find that they disagree with their starting point. But you have a very fair point.

What did they give as the reason for a lack of validity?

Good evening my dears.

I think it's a symbol of solidarity and saying there is nothing to be afraid of, both the attraction and the act, even when removed from actual sexuality. Obviously there are other issues to be discussed about such tactics in PR, such as potential trivialisation of the subject and other things, but I think above is the general idea.

Was gonna indecently PM you nudes and everything, like I always do with her. That would have been awkward.

Just in case you get confused this Xmas
