oh man. People take things far too seriously. I know..let's start a serious thread where nothing can be taken lightly and we all keep our self respect in the eyes of our peers. This means very mature comments like "Let's talk about the social fabric of our suburban middle class society...etc etc.." Yes, wow, fun. How about RECLAIMING your sence of humour...... Have you read the zine we were poking fun at? I hope you found it as liberating as I did....

Jonnyvalid: Tight cinderella dress?? what exactly are you refering to? You make no sense. Try to be a little more logical. What i gathered from your post was that if a female wears a "tight cinderella dress" this gives men a right to view her as an object. Am i correct? What a view to have on women!
As for Roju's comments: This has NOTHING to do with "reclaiming" my sense of humour. You weren't being funny, just dumb. I'd like to know just how you felt liberated by that zine. Since you're a woman and all, i'm sure you can understand it at a personal level.
Read the messageboard and you will find nothing but "humour", so whats wrong with being serious once and a while?

maybe this topic could use a bit of seriousness. being "funny" is one thing, but taking such cheap shots at others is entirely another. at some point a line has to be drawn between being funny and being a total asshole. perhaps you should rethink your definition of humour, and while you're at it, your definition of maturity.

Thank you for taking what I said far too seriously... I have been liberated by seeing my foolish ways. I have been objectifying womyn for far too long. I haven't been sensitive to their insecurities, and instead of reaching out to empower the better half... I have put womyn on a petistle and for this I am sorry. I realize that my comments on this message board have been objectionable and sexist. I can see now how I have perpetuated the stereotype of the insensitive, degrading and immature male. For this I am also sorry. I don't know what sort of bad karma I have generated by my previous actions..but I know that I will pay for them in the near future. I only hope that I can turn the tide of insensitivity and immaturity. I know I am only one person..but I hope that I can empower my fellow male to help me in ushering in a new springtime of forgiveness, sharing , and mutual respect.
I don't know what else to say. So I won't respond to this further. I really don't care what you think of me. You people must be way more mature than me, in fact I know you are, but thank you for pointing this out to me. Lectures on maturity are always great. Please don't hesitate to keep pointing out my wrong doings. I can only learn and grow from my mistakes, and become a better and more well adjusted person.

A VIEW OF THE MESSAGE BOARD FROM A FEMINIST PROSPECTIVE: Woman: So.... Jonnyvalid: Fuck you. Everything i say on this board should be taken seriously (how can you not take someone seriously when they write posts using the words "ass" and "cran"?). Woman: Abuse! Abuse! I'm phoning the fucking female cops! Save us now lux! Please! Throw me a cup! Lux: I wish people would respect me as a woman and not treat me like an object...Even though I did shoot a soft-core porn...Oh well. Jonnyvalid: See you girls later...I guess my assholism is overpowering me at this moment. I'll go think deeply, and be back in an hour. Lux: What's with him? Woman: What? Haven't you been paying attention to a thing? He just explained what's going on! Lux: Oh, sorry. I was imagining a world full of just women, where we had a say... Woman: What are you talking about? We do have a say! Haven't you heard of "Women's Rights"? Lux: No. Sorry, I've been drunk for the past 50 years. I'll try and sober up. Woman: Well you better! This is no kind of state to be in on the message board. How can you even call yourself a feminist? Lux: *Hiccup* Sorry, what was the question? Woman: I can't remember...I was too busy thinking of how evil Jonnyvalid is, and how awful his new site will be. Lux: Yeah, so I heard...I think he will be funny. Woman: What?!? How can you say that? He is such an example of a typical male pig! Lux: I don't know what to think now! I thought he was a sensitive and handsome 15 year old! Oh well, see for yourself...On his new site ( www.jonnyvalid.com)! Don't be silly, though...It's not up yet! It won't be up for a while, because he has to think of some good gossip. Woman: Ah, I see. I BET YOU ARE ALL WONDERING HOW A POST LIKE THIS TURNED INTO AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR JONNYVALID? WELL, IT JUST GOES TO SHOW HOW CORRUPT THE WORLD IS. BUT DON'T WORRY; YOU CAN FIGHT IT THROUGH SUICIDAL POETRY, BADLY-WRITTEN ZINES, "'FUNNY" BANDS AND ANY OTHER TYPE OF USELESS SHIT YOU CAN THINK OF! SEE YOU LATER SCENE-MEN (AND SCENE-WOMEN)! PS. I hope you don't think I dislike feminism...I just don't like some people who act all preachy about it, yet are just as sexist as most males. If you still don't catch my drift, think of it as this: "I don't hate feminism; I just hate you."

this seems to be another dumbass thread, but i admit it kept me amused and entertained. how about we all agree to have a better sense of humour but also be slightly less offending? or maybe just dont take everything literally. rome wasnt built in a day, or something like that
