I'm not overly hung up on the avatar, but I have noticed a disturbing trend in the silly story thread from time to time that makes me just want to nuke the whole site. I usually either go away for a few days or try and drive the language in a different, less uncomfortable, direction. But there are still some 12 year olds here no matter when they were born. While it's not my place or desire to apologize on behalf of my gender...please accept this apology for there lack of consideration.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

^ That's okay, it's a minority issue on this site, I just thought I'd register a protest. My guess is that the OP doesn't much care what I think of his avatar.

I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say. Can you please be more explicit? I really don't believe you are making a comparison between terrorists and feminists.

Both seem to get irrationally offended by images and words, and both are rather keen on censoring or destroying everything they personally disagree with.

I did not ask for censorship, just raised an objection to an offensive photo. I don't think it's irrational for a feminist to be offended by a photo that focuses only on a woman's sexual identity, and exaggerates those features that men profess to find attractive.
Or, to put it more bluntly, there is more to women than boobs. Males over the age of 15 tend to get that. Those who are younger need it pointed out to them.

You cant see the nipples in your wombat drawing either, but that doesn't mean that I don't find it particularly attractive or sexual.
By the way, I don't care for the image either, but when I've been concerned enough in such matters I have found that a private message to the person expressing your concerns goes a long way.
