Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

I love this, because it shows two different takes on feminism in a really funny way.

How does working at Hooters represent a take on feminism, other than the position of completely ignoring it? I mean, you could just about contrast Riot Grrrls and Girl Power (Spice Girls version) as different "takes", because "take" implies some minimal amount of buy-in to the basic concept (which, at the most superficial level, you could make a claim for the Spice Girls as doing). Working at Hooters isn't in the running.

I was wondering too

penis owners commenting on feminism

Bollocks to that. Complete and utter total horseshit. Lazy would be the politest thing I could think of to say about that response, but on reflection I'll stay with my original comments.

I have a vagina so anything I say about feminism is completely valid.

Ah balls. This is coming after a week of having to constantly explain why everyone goes to strip clubs in Portland and how that relates to feminism and why it isn't weird that there is now a vegan strip club there.
Ok, you are right, in the context that I wasn't thinking about my own friends who work in topless bars/strip clubs and instead see the photo as just some girls that work in hooters, I don't make much sense.
However, in my own (evidently lazy) mind it made perfect sense and caused a chuckle.

I have a funny relationship with working alongside the sex industry while at the same time not wanting to see sexism rule my non-sex industry life (aka let's keep the naked women on bikes photos off the forum attitude).

I fully realize it's complex and sometimes doesn't appear to make any sense, but I'm still trying to figure out what it all means for me as well. Thanks for bearing with me.

I don't really know anything about feminism other than Germaine Greer is one. Can someone explain?

"Lazy" was aimed at Adouble, not you, Nhatt. Heard about the vegan strip club story - is weird, though.

Some of my best friends are strippers and/or pornographic models, and for the most part they would be pleased if the level of sexism in non-sex industries dropped down to the level they experience in the sex industry.

In a word, no.
I'm still trying to figure out what defines it for myself. I think I balk at the word feminist as it implies someone who wears practical shoes and isn't very much fun, which isn't how I like to see myself.
I prefer to see my brand of feminism as noticing where general attitudes work against my chances of being judged based on my skills/sense of humour/self and not based on my gender or how I look in a tight dress.

Yo dawg.

Isn't that an inference made by the hostile? Hmm, probably should take that to another thread.

I know I've been lucky. In seattle my friends worked for The Lusty Lady, which was a female managed strip joint (they had THE BEST christmas parties).

When I moved here I worked as a copy writer for The Erotic Review and Penthouse Forum, both of which were edited by a friend of mine. I worked with some of the most progressive people in the sex industry, and I felt very comfortable with how far I got and how I was appreciated and not judged. I certainly feel more judged in the bike industry.

@it'sbruce, I know! That's why I found it funny I guess, I can see these two different types of women in my constant argument with myself.

pokerface like a baos

to keep this in context...

Nhatt, did you ever meet this fella at The Erotic Review, think he was a contributor

Nope, but to be fair, I didn't really go into the office, I worked from home.

Although there were a few office outings. This is where I met my first fake boob. It freaked me out.
