It gets somewhat tiresome trying to present facts and examples to support my argument and receive more rhetoric in response to it. So I will try one more time to make it all clear, and this will be my last post in the thread.

All I can say is that the difference between an obnoxious come-on and, say, pushing someone out of the way on the subway or farting in public, is entirely artificial and only really exists within North American society. You consider Malek's original example as harassment because it has to do with sex, but there are hundreds of rude things people do to me every day and I know that there's no legal action for it. That's why brunette says that this is such a sex-obsessed society (I think), it's because whenever something involves sex, it's automatically taboo and different from any other situation in life. To be honest, I find it downright sad and depressing that such a beautiful picture can be labelled as simply "offensive" and declared unfit for public viewing.

"Sex is offensive"... how much more morally "wrong" can you get than to say this? It defies the most fundamental laws of nature. And the disturbing pattern I've noticed is that whenever this subject comes up, women instantly start talking about rape. Was I in a coma when "rape" got listed under sex in the dictionary?

To further that point, was I in a coma when the authorities declared even the most hardcore pornography to somehow be more "degrading" to the women in it than the men? I mean, in the average porno, you don't even see the guy's face, just his dick!

Anyway, to close up, I have read extensively about the kinds of things I'm talking about here, and I could go on in great detail about the kind of extremism I'm trying to fight, but I think that's something best saved for a personal discussion with those who actually care and are interested in hearing the other side of the story. I've found that on this issue, most people are either apathetic or fixed in their own beliefs. If you want to know my sources, I'd be happy to share them, but otherwise, let's just lay this discussion to rest.

No hard feelings, of course!
