Applause or Contempt for the "boner"?

"Fairhair approached women naked, with an erection, in public. Even more distressing, several commenters applaud him for this brave display of sexual-harassment-as-entertainment, calling him “awesome” and declaring a newfound “respect” for Fairhair’s tactics.
Perhaps this is more accepted in a country like Norway than the United States, where this man would likely be arrested or maced. But regardless of audience, these pickup videos add nothing to the conversation; they just inspire more lame pickup videos, where intimidation is misconstrued as “confidence." Can we just ban them already?"

Do we see a re-write, coming up?

It's pretty easy to see the template the writer started with, the Emperor's new clothes.

So many directions the sex topic can lead:
Shaved vulvas? pro or con?
Feminism is pro-porn or anti-porn? where do you stand? conservatives v liberals on porn and shaved vulvas. I think people just like to talk about sex.

btw -
I do not recall any bitching when the naked girl with the hot bod was walking around Paris.(or whereeveritwaz)

The Left must constantly re-write its own history to create the appearance of consistency in its advocacy of progress, but the Left’s definition of progress is itself constantly changing, and feminism’s embrace of pornography — celebrating objectification as “empowerment” — is but one example of this re-definition project.

More than just sex on that one.

Seeing a naked women in a movie is no big deal. We still never see naked men. Full on frontal naked men.

So a naked man walking around saying "hey my eyes are up here" is funny but shocking, certainly.
Crosses that line a little.
& weird if he's walking around hugging people. Is that harassment? I think if you have no clothes on, perhaps try not to touch anyone, even with your arms.
It's not societal norm and might give the wrong impression.

I thought they were talking about the Speaker of the House.

It's the erection that crosses the line.

Well, that varies from man to man.

(sometimes the material just drops in your lap, as it were...)

Edwaaard.

Cute video...young good looking guy. Now lets try it with Harry Reid in the naked man role and see how he's received? Or Alan Grayson? Or Al Franken? Or Henry Waxman? And of course, Carlos Danger!

However, it works as a way to pick up girls, I mean, you've got to admire someone who can keep a hard-on in Norway's climate.

Frozen stiff is in this case an oxymoron.

Gee, you say that just like my mother used to.

It's Norway and...?

Paging Titus to the White Courtesy Phone. Titus your tickets to Norway are booked, please pick up the White Courtesy Phone please.

Icepick said...

Well I just thank God he isn't wearing shorts. That would just be offensive.

sakredkow said...

Maybe someone will beat him up.

Maybe someone will beat him up.


Well, only if he did this in one of the muslim enclaves in Norway. But I don't think he would get just beaten up however.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together said...

Ha ha. That's awesome. Total applause.

William said...

Even in Norway, there must be some women who take offense at being approached by a naked guy with a boner. Could they possibly have been edited out of the videos? ..... Here in NYC some psycho was just apprehended for stabbing random people in the park. A naked guy with a boner does not inspire trust when encountered in public parks here.

Applause.
This guy's nakedness presents no threat whatsoever. The ladies are running away because they're embarrassed for, not scared of, him. There's no privacy left so might as well preemptively stop being embarrassed about being butt nekkid in public.

(Tits has already moved to Norway.)
