Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

India famously has no deceptions of sexual acts at all. Kama Sutra? No, that's from the vile, decadent west. Or it doesn't count as porn.

I can't post specific examples without breaking the site rules, but anyone who thinks Hinduism doesn't do pornography should google 'Khajuraho monuments' - the latter are a UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of a series of Hindu and Jain temples whose famous medieval erotic sculpture far surpasses the tame nudes in Playboy.

Playboy, for one, has never attempted to show anyone having sexual intercourse with a horse.

The Wikipedia entry is mostly safe; but I wouldn't open up the Google Images results for that search unless you're at home.

Makes sense. Kind of sad in a way, but ultimately that's the price of progress.
I don't think they'll manage to stay relevant, frankly.

People are right. Nudity is passe to the extent that people are bored of it and now search ever crazier shit.

It's a wonderful world of porn out there folks. Just remember, behind the glazed over eyes of whoever you are talking at any time to is a non stop theater of disgusting and immoral acts of perversion the likes of which would make you rock hard and want to rub one out.

They might SEEM like decent folks, but really they're one egg whisk and three seashells away from stripping naked and demanding an orgy.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Yes, and Playboy is a porn magazine that's becoming less porn-y. And you say it should be banned. And you associate this with the west. And we are pointing out that depictions of naked people performing sex acts are not the sole purview of the west, as evidenced by such things as the Kama Sutra and the Khajurao monuments.

I see the problem here.

This person is a feminist from a non-western country. So in addition to the usual outright denial of reality, they've also got some post-colonial rage going on.

How nice it must be for men in your country to be the good ones. Unlike those savage foreigners.

Maybe you should protect the women from them.

Hardly. Ignoring "The west is the sole reason for the objectification of women", you give too much power and influence to Playboy.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Yeh, they do. I've argued how so on numerous occasions. So do creationists. Plenty of people aren't in contact with whats really going on and instead interact with an ideological system that explains everything to them. They aren't interested in facts, only a narrative.

That's why this person is saying such silly things about the west that are patently untrue. Because it fits their anti-colonialist feminist narrative.

It's extremely common with feminists that they'll say something that is factually incorrect because their cultish religion told them it was true.
Like creationists.

They are in denial.

Well if you want to take it to the feminism thread and give your definition i'd be happy to outline my reasons for this position.

Here though, i'm just pointing out that this seems to be the cause of that poster saying the objectification of women originates entirely the western world. I think this is a result of their feminist anti-colonialist lens making them a zealot who will deny facts to assert a narrative.

Are we to take your word for this, or can you explain why depictions of naked people performing sex acts from other cultures do not contribute to the objectification of women?
