How about watching a dirty movie? Where is the line? Out the door and around the block, now open the doors - it's almost 7:00pm. "I'm here for the FREE aviation-theme movie." "Sorry. That was last night ...Tuesday night." Montblack |

City Dweller's post is IMVHO, indeed sexist, based on the following:
Big Snip Well, Jim, the obvious way to balance things out is for Emily (or anyone else, for that matter) to post PIREPs for airports close to Chippendale Clubs -- the strip clubs made for women. That way, no one is offended by being left out. (Or, perhaps, EVERYONE is offended!) We *do* want to remain inclusive, here at rec.aviation! ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Peter Duniho" wrote: A "fairly rabid libertarian" would not go around judging other people's actions, especially when they don't affect you, the way you are here. That's a basic misunderstanding of libertarianism, which concerns itself only with the limits of government. For example, a libertarian may deplore racism and try not to engage in it, but would still object to government laws calling for hiring quotas for minorities. That sounds like what it used to be to be a Republican ... sigh. Just as my wife switched from Democrat to Republican a few years ago, we both may have to switch from Republican in a few more years. I'm just no sure which direction. Certainly Republicans are no longer the purveyors of fiscal conservatism and constrained government. I'm just waiting for use fees to pass... Matt |

: And who's judging? Sex doesn't belong in public, plain and simple. Hold on. Sex is a natural, beautiful thing, without which the human race (as well as pretty much every other breathing species on this planet) would not continue to exist. I am trying to figure out on what basis you make your claims against it. If it is religious, that's fine, but not everyone subscribes to your religious beliefs, and each religion seems to have its own opinion on it anyway. Some religions don't approve of sex even in private unless it is specifically for the purpose of spawning children. Others only have issues with sex with relatives and/or animals. To my knowledge, the Judeo-Christian belief is that sex is indeed a beautiful thing, ideally for the purpose of spawning children (interpreted from a Biblical commandment). And while you are not restricted from having sex that is not specifically for the purpose of having children, you are not supposed to "spill your seed in waste". It is for this reason that certain types of contraceptives and self-satisfaction are prohibited. From there, the religions place a prohibition on "impure thoughts". After all, impure thoughts *could* lead to wasted seed. (In the Jewish religion, the impure thought itself is not a sin. I'm not quite as sure if that holds true in all Christian variations.) In order to protect people from having impure thoughts, rules of modesty were developed - this is why ultra-religious Jewish women cover their hair, and always wear dresses down to their ankles and sleeves down to their wrists - a woman's hair, arms, and legs are considered sexy and *could* lead to impure thoughts and ultimately wasted seed. Clearly having sex in Central Park or some other such public display of sex would also be a problem in these religions. But NOT because sex is wrong. It is because of the off chance that some guy might walk by, see it, and think about it all day, and go home and spill his seed. If this is the belief you subscribe to, I applaud you because being so religious is very difficult and requires much self-discipline, especially in today's society. Strip clubs are not public. They are open to the public with some restrictions, but there is no risk of someone who subscribes to the aforementioned beliefs of ever spilling his seed, because he would not enter a strip club if he was indeed a true follower of the religion. I'm curious, how do you feel about Prime Time Network Television? After all, they are much worse than strip clubs in my opinion. They make Television Shows under the guise of being entertainment, and then include numerous situation that would lead to impure thoughts, such as adult- oriented humor, sexual situations, and sexy advertisements. At least with a strip club, the person who is going in knows that what he is about to do, and makes a conscious decision to do it. With TV, even the unsuspecting innocent will be lured in and tricked into having impure thoughts. Now THAT is wrong! Sorry if you can't understand that, but don't judge those of us who feel differently. |

I believe your interpretations are clearly more sexist than the original
post. IMVHO... The original post made no assumptions. It was a public announcement of an interesting attraction for pilots. You have managed to make it sexist by creating the distinction that anyone who might be interested is "male pilots who aren't getting any". But I think it isn't until you create that distinction that it becomes sexist. Certainly there are many people who are interested in strip clubs, otherwise there wouldn't be so many of them in this country. And presumably, they are not all pilots who aren't getting any, otherwise there wouldn't be so many HBO specials about them. There are many announcements of interesting places to visit for pilots. I appreciate all of the announcements, even if they don't necessarily apply to me. For example, some announcements are about hiking and camping spots. I don't do much hiking or camping, as I am a fat guy with 3 kids including an 18 month old toddler, and hiking and camping are not real practical for me. I wouldn't be interested in visiting a hiking/camping spot. But does the act of posting an announcement about a hiking/camping spot insult me? Is it a bigoted post that should have included a preface in the title that the post is only for thin, fit, single people without kids? Should it insult ALL fat people with young children? Should I start the AFPYC (American Fat People with Young Children) association to protect all of the oppressed like myself? That is ass-backwards if you ask me. People have become so hyper-sensitive about their unique qualities and about being simply human that we spend all of our time fine tuning everything we say and do to avoid offending somebody. And most of the time, that only offends somebody else, anyway. No wonder it's so easy for us to be terrorized! Jim Logajan wrote in : "City Dweller" wrote: Warning: adult content. Prudes and john ashcrofts of this group do not read further. Grumble. This dang thread refuses to die a proper death. Was going to remain silent, but what the heck - may as well throw in my 2 cents. Anyway, to make a long story short, I discovered a strip club in Pennsylvania where the girls are good looking and the view is unobstructed. And, what's most important, this club is within short walking distance from a GA airport. City Dweller's post is IMVHO, indeed sexist, based on the following: It assumed all pilots are male and all r.a.p readers are male. It doesn't say "Single heterosexual male pilot report" (or more accurately: "PIREP for male pilots who aren't getting any"). Nope. Only warns Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and prudes to not read further. So - presumably women who don't get excited seeing other women nearly naked are prudes? I would have thought they were merely heterosexual females - go figure! Nothing like a lead-in that implicitly insults heterosexual women! Nice job CD! For City Dweller, only good looking "girls" need apply. (Equity on this issue would seem to require the presumption that City Dweller be an Adonis - though if that were the case, one has to wonder why he has to fly long distances to see nearly naked women. Hmmm.) So it seems that women don't seem to register in City Dweller's world view as either pilots _or_ Usenet readers - they only register with City Dweller if they are "good looking girls" who strip. If that doesn't add up to a sexist attitude, then nothing does. In my youth I went a few times to "strip clubs"/"topless bars". The very first time was in the company of a female friend. After dressing after her "act", one of the performers came over to our table to chat. It seems that couples were sufficiently rare that the woman was curious why my friend was there (my friend was curious - in fact she was the one who suggested we go there!). But other than that incident, I'd say the experience in those joints is a waste of money at best, and frustrating at worst. There are better, legal, and more enjoyable ways to satisfy sexual desires - but none of them are related to the OP's alleged PIREP. All IMHO of course. |
