Fuck fundamentalism, and fuck fun feminism

[sabotabby]

Show us your tits, writ large.

Memo to all concerned: My boobs do not cause earthquakes. Nor are they for your viewing pleasure. They are just boobs. Rather nice ones, but none of anyone's fucking business.

I was about to say: "Where is Twisty Faster when you need her?" But fortunately she's right here, because this whole thing is making me itchy in my second-wave feminist place.

I think she meant well, in the spirit of, hey, breasts are just breasts so what's the big deal, but of course shitty pooheads got all excited over the thought of breasts and ruined it.
I'm looking forward to breastfeeding in public (if I have a baby (obviously)) and telling people to fuck the fuckety fuck off if they object. I like telling people where to go.

Also I'm fucked off because the Cambridge University Union now runs pole dancing classes for women to help them feel empowered. AAAARRRGH! It was bad enough when I was there, with women students baring their breasts for the Daily Mail to show they were as "fun" and "up for it" as Oxford students (who had bared their breasts for another tabloid the week before)!

Yeah, that's pretty much my take on it too. When I first read about the idea, I thought it was pretty amusing and was considering participating, but then reading a zillion comments on it all over the place from horny guys who missed the entire point because they were too busy thinking "OMG BOOBS!11!" kind of leached all the fun right out of it for me.

Though come to think of it, I think I ended up wearing something a bit cleavagey on Monday anyway, but that was more just because I felt like it. I'd pretty much forgotten what day the whole Boobquake thing was supposed to be happening by then.
