Teethless smile

[salinea]

I be wisdom toothless. My mouth's all numb.

It went relatively well, apart from the part where dentist was always saying "Don't panick!" "Don't panick!" when I was like "I'm not panicking, I was just informing you that I am in pain right now. In a non panicky way."

So, is it just me or are we giving this whole ridiculous Open Source Boob project more attention than it deserves? I mean, the whole part where there's essays kindly (or more acurately righteously angrily) detailing why it is so wrong instead of just mocking the WTF-ness of it... wobble worthy. Like, it actually requires explanation?

AFAIC if people want to indulge in free boobs (or other part) groping party, more power to them! But a public arena like a convention of SFF/anime/whataveyou is not the place for it. Well, not unless it was the Boobicon, or something.

I think that dissecting the project has some value - not for zapping what the original event actually was, perhaps, but as an example (though admittedly I do find the original idea very creepy. It's true, they really should have got a private space designated for groping if that's what they wanted). And I find there's something nice about the way that some questionable lines of thought are getting hit by so much logical smackdown/righteous anger. IMO, it's more that this thing has been a convenient trigger to get people worked up about the underlying issues.

Good to hear the wisdom teeth removal went okay!

Aaah, you make a good point. It is an excellent exemple of male priviledge.

I'm not even disturbed by the original idea, which may say how used I am to the sexist atmosphere of geek parties with a majority of males. I mean, it would be "no, no, no" of course, but I wouldn't run the other way screaming the first time I'd be asked. - I think I'm really way too used to that kind of atmosphere >_>;;
