And, in my totally fucked up by society body image beliefs that many women succumb to, I sit here thinking I were a hermaphrodite so I could have no hips.

Wouldn't I look great in skinny jeans, with no hips?

I'm no longer comfortable with this conversation.

i just wanted to make a point.....not look at trannies.

jinx · 12-29-2009, 10:24 AM

I could kick all their asses. Including Ann.

LOL!! My point is Ann Coulter looks a lot like a tranny.

Also, there is no question that Jinx could kick every one of their asses. She's one tough lady, especially when you consider the workouts she does. She'd probably kick your butt too Jim, and mine.

Yabbut, dude, how did you get the Led Zeppelin user title?

lumberjim · 12-29-2009, 10:20 AM

dickin around with the character map....

Shawnee123 · 12-29-2009, 10:21 AM

Cool!

lumberjim · 12-29-2009, 10:26 AM

I agree....although, i think Ann might give you the best fight...

oh....and I'd like to watch please.

Well, I did take a bus to Hebden the other day...

This sort of thing really gets to me. We have constructed an idea of what a woman or a man is. It is almost entirely culturally defined. The biological imperatives account for so little of it, which is why it has been so subject to change across time and indeed differs greatly from one culture and geographical area to the next. I can totally understand someone not liking Coulter. I even get that from certain angles she looks a little masculine. But from other angles, she just looks statuesque.

Part of this is a defence of a woman's right to define her own femininity; and part of it comes from my suspicion that Radar has a very traditional (and therefore rather paternalistic) view of what femininity is.

xoxoxoBruce · 12-29-2009, 03:11 PM

I suspect you're right about Radar's views, but he can speak for himself.

Sure it's culturally defined. "Ladylike", or more precisely what's considered "ladylike", is a whole lot different, at different spots on the globe.

lumberjim · 12-29-2009, 03:16 PM

maybe there's some Dagney Taggart hang up? She was described the way Coulter looks.

Not really. I was attracted by the description of Dagney Taggart and found it nothing remotely like what Ann Coulter looks like. She had short hair, but was very feminine. She was sexually promiscuous, and a slightly pushy, but no less feminine. I don't feel that subordination or submissiveness toward a man does anything to either reduce or increase feminism so the fact that she wasn't submissive does nothing to make her less feminine in my book.

Radar · 12-29-2009, 03:20 PM

I've known a lot of women who use profanity. I don't consider this to be a lack of femininity. How about this...any woman who thinks she's tough enough to hit a man, is tough enough to be hit by a man. I'd never hit a lady, but I'll beat the shit out of any man or woman who hits me first. And I'm not talking about a slap on the ass or something playful. I'm talking about a punch in the face.

I don't really know what to say if you can't see the masculinity in her mannerisms, speech, or even her physical characteristics. I, and many others do. This is why she is often referred to as "Man Coulter"
