Men are pigs, this one anyway!

[Sylph]

My grown daughter showed me this hysterical video by Jon Lajoie. He has a few other funny ones, like 'Ordinary Guy'.
Thank God, no Wacco men are like this guy:

"Show me your Genit#ls"

I also apologize to the animal pigs, which I think are very adorable. Don't you think all men have a touch of this? I just assumed the Wacco men were more spiritually/socially evolved and have overcome their baser tendencies....

[MsTerry]

Do you think women will ever overcome "their baser tendencies" ?
A former boyfriend once said; 'I've never met a woman who isn't a sexist'.
I am starting to see the wisdom in this simple statement.

We all have 'base tendencies'! We all work to overcome them. Aren't we all sexist, racist, age-iest, to some degree? We must recognize our weaknesses and rise above them.

If you are implying that I'm sexist because I thought the video was funny....I refuse to take the bait!

[MsTerry]

No, I wasn't referring to the video (which I thought was pretty dumb, only funny in the first few seconds)
I was referring what you were saying about men.
I wouldn't want to be talked about like that as a woman, would you?

I loved the video! Thanks Sylph!

And I agree that we all have our base tendencies. So, for me, the opportunity is to be aware of them, even honor them, and allow them come out in appropriate and respectful manner.

[Barry]

Clearly the topic is sex, so you could call this sexist if you wish.

Also clearly, to me, is that is a man talking about men. I think it revealed the base-ist instinct in the worst/funniest light while being clearly conscious of it and with inherent compassion and wit.

And yes that instinct is there and can be a good thing if expressed well. And I had a good laugh with a touch of a squirm.

No mention of women, or of people in general, so, yes, it's obviously sexist.

[RichT]

I like my base tendencies. I try to coddle and nurture them as much as I can.

And I love pigs; they are absolutely delicious!!!:bbq:

BTW - the video was so bad that it was funny.

Thanks, Barry. People need to lighten up around here. It's supposed to be satire, for goodness sake! Whew!

CAN I MEET YOUR DAUGHTER???

Absolutely not! And I'm not being sexist at all by not wanting you anywhere near her!

[Sylph]

No, you are sexist because the title was "Men are pigs, this one anyway!", then you went on to say: "Don't you think all men have a touch of this? I just assumed the Wacco men were more spiritually/socially evolved and have overcome their baser tendencies...."

The video was made by a man about men with 'base' motives, thus my title "men are pigs". Just an attention-getting title, not my philosophy.

But...are you claiming that (some) men are not more sexually obsessed and ready to use women for sex without wanting to get to know them...than women (as a whole)? Do I have to dig up a dozen studies to prove this is true, or is this not common knowledge...?? There I go being sexist again. I can't stop incriminating myself!

I appreciate my man's baser instincts and try to put them to good use!

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!

[Sylph]

Why is integrity - intellectual and otherwise, such a scarce commodity today?

Sexism definition
1: prejudice or discrimination based on sex
2: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex

satire

1. 1. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
   2. The branch of literature constituting such works. See synonyms at caricature.
2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.

[Latin satira, probably alteration (influenced by Greek satur, satyr, and saturos, burlesque of a mythical episode), of (lanx) satura, fruit (plate) mixture, from feminine of satur, sated, well-fitted.]


When humor has to be explained....oh, forget it!

[MsTerry]

I thought that guy looked familiar.
Is it you?

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!

[mykil]

WE ARE IN THE Un-cercored sector sooo I can say this for sure! I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER MET A WOMAN THAT DIDN'T LOOK GOOD ON HER KNEES!!!!!!

[MsTerry]

Now, now Sylph,
Mykil is our most experienced expert for women.
Many women can testify as to his ability, agility and understanding of any female foibles.
You should expose your daughter to him, for then she can experience all a real charming man has to offer.

Has he had all his shots?

[MsTerry]

Only a few ungrateful women have taken aim at him.

No one misunderstood why you thought it was funny, just like no one misunderstood why Imus thought "nappy headed hoes" was funny. Sexism is either acceptable, or it is not.

So, now I not only lack "intellectual integrity", you have placed me in the same category as Imus. You are deliberately misunderstanding me, probably just to be contrary!
The video is "anti-sexism" in that it skewers sexist men and was made by a man. I carefully explained why I used 'men are pigs' in the title and that it's not what I think personally.
Intellectual integrity "entails not only that one stand up, unhypocritically, for one's best judgment, but also that one have proper respect for the judgment of others."
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/integrity/

[Sylph]

Amazing, even your justifications and diversions are similar to Imus.

If I titled a post "Women are stupid sluts, this one anyway!" then said "Don't you think all women have a touch of this? I just assumed the Wacco women were more spiritually/socially evolved and have overcome their stupid tendencies...." then included a blond joke but said it's "not what I think personally", this so called 'conscious' community would be apoplectic.

If it was clever I might find it amusing! But the very PC 'conscious' community would, indeed, be apoplectic.
You are sensitive to what you perceive as sexism and I am sympathetic to that. If I offended you, I am sorry. I just thought it was an outrageous, over the top, funny video. Try not to take everything so seriously....

[Barry]

We've had 40 years of unrelenting male bashing, and millions of people, men AND women, are sick of the hypocrisy.

Which makes it a great time to laugh at our selves.

[mykil]

SKOOK; Maybe this is not the section for you. We her e in the UN-CENSORED SECTION have a sense of humor and are going to stay this way. This is why we have this section on WACCO. WE can say anything post anything and people that are a little sensitive can and are applauded to stay away! PEACE and the rest on WACCO is for you!!!

[Barry]

Did you hear the one about how wacco women are stupid sluts?

No I missed that one! Do tell! And if you can do it as well as the video in question, I'd

[Barry]

First, let me add to my comment above:
And if you don't (do it as well as the video), I suggest you


Second, I note that you have chosen to not reveal your real name on your profile. Is there a reason you wish to be anonymous? Are you not willing to personally own your posts?

[mykil]

May you [privately of course] send me the names of the ones you KNOW FOR SURE are Sluts????

Did you hear the one about how wacco women are stupid sluts?

[Lenny]

LOL, but so much for humor!
Analyze and feel it to death.
That video hits on sex, women, race, certain classes & ages, mores, rhythm & music as hard as Tom Wolfe's I AM CHARLOTTE SIMMONS. Sorry, female persons, but the pain you feel after watching this is a collective & shared matter-of-fact. Just as women give sex for love, men give love for respect, and until that learning process has matured, we can all LOL at this stuff.

[Barry]

Anybody have an objection to me moving this thread into the Conscious Relationship category?
