(80,708 posts)34. So it would seem, only reason I don't have a problem w/this ad is because I'm "conditioned" not to.
        My wife, apparently, too. Her poor porn-befuddled brain. Conditioned! To Believe!! that this!!! Is!!!! Funny!!!!!
 
   
   
   
   
 
Yes, yes... using porn to sell drain cleaner! why would they DO that, if not because of a scary galactic space patriarchy foully trying to penis-ify everything! DRAIN CLEANER, FOR GOD'S SAKE! 
Um, except, maybe the reason they use porn to sell drain cleaner is the same reason they use ducks and geckos to sell insurance.. because insurance, like drain cleaner, is not in and of itself all that fucking interesting.
And yes, if you don't think sex is inherently any more "harmful" than ducks, or geckos, then the ad's really not that big of a fucking deal.

        One small point of order, Warren was preemptively blocked from history of feminism, not feminism

        It is very frustrating that the differences between the waves is the focus so much

        No, like I said, I don't think most Feminists are puritannical would-be censors.

        At least you actually posted something that was used to justify booting you.

        Apparently the idea of a woman who appears to enjoy hetero sex is too much to stand for some
