Watch Give My Regards To Broad Street (1984) →
If you’re interested in the Beatles, or Paul McCartney. This really exceeded my expectations. It takes a while to get into it, but some scenes are absolute gold.
And the music is good too.

He keeps saying stuff like this because the book was so rushed with his deteriorating health.
In terms of facts, he’s basically saying DW I GOT THIS SHIT COVERED.
Anonymous asked: I am not reducing people to horomones. But horomones are definitely a large part of that. I'm sorry that you are insulted by what other people do, but frankly, they choose to do it. You can't change that. If they are doing it for other reasons, then that is their problem. And you see it as them degrading themselves and lowering themselves, when they may not see it that way. It's...

Nothing but racism. This is just spreading the false message that in order to be successful, you must be white and it’s giving more power to white privilege.
I’m torn between feeling horrible for someone who feels the need to do this to themselves and RAGE.
This draws much needed attention to...
Anonymous asked: I am not against feminism. I just find many flaws in what you say. You say that "to allow them women as just one of their guilty pleasures". You, in fact, are the on labeling the woman as an object of a man's pleasure. Men are women's guilty pleasure. There is an equal playing field when both sides are guilty in wanting sexual pleasure.

I've never seen why the way in which people worship is important, or why one is right when another is wrong, and my characterisation of Jesus is following that line of thought.
Thank you for getting in contact, and I'm glad you're enjoying the project :)

Anonymous asked: So if women enjoy pleasing men, can't men enjoy pleasing a women? Let's face it. Everybody wants to please somebody, whether it be sexual, material, emotional, etc. If a woman wants to please a man sexually, isn't it her choice to do so? She chooses to exploit herself as such.
Anonymous asked: I misunderstood exactly what you were talking about. You kind of answered my question, but I am confuse by what you mean when you say "the fantasy world men indulge that women are there for their pleasure".
Do you mean that men go to strip clubs or want women to strip for them because they believe that that's what women are for?

Anonymous asked: I'd like to know why you keep jumping directly to women as a cause of the sex industry. There are a lot who are women, but men are their, too. I think you are stereotyping strippers as women. At least, that is what I have deduced from your recent posts.
No means to offend. Just natural curiosity.

Victim ... perv wanted to see Charlotte strip
The above caption, from this Sun article about paedophiles, says a lot to me. How can such a comment be written a few pages away from pictures of women who have stripped for the supposedly ‘non-perv’ male audience? How can one be painted as evil and the other as the ‘very picture of freedom in this country’ (page 3’s words, not mine).
The mind boggles.
Anonymous asked: are you familiar with the documentary "The Bridge"?
pixelspirit asked: Thank you for the book recommendation. :) And yes, everyone should question their own motives for doing things, and it is sometimes tricky to seperate a natural, genuine interest or enjoyment and one pressured by society or expectations. What disturbs me is while it is sexual, I don't believe it has to be so, at the very base of it. A woman could enjoy it without the sexual elements and...

pixelspirit asked: Hi there. I just read your pole dancing post, I agree with you...but what about women who genuinely enjoy it, and not for reasons that were pushed onto her by society? Also, how do you feel about chinese pole? (It's a circus act that has less focus on sexuality, and a lot of men do it, but I've seen pole-dancing moves used on shorter poles before in circus acts.) Is it decided purely on...

I agree that it comes from a series of experiences, and I'm sad for OP that the majority of her experiences led her to a conclusion that all girls are bitchy. I know exactly where she's coming from, but I wish she had phrased it more like "wow, I know some really catty and...

I don’t really agree with this cover. It’s quite sensationalist, with it’s “what happens if we leave Afghanistan” headline.
What it’s basically doing, then, is justifying the war.
In reality, violence against women in the country has increased since the Taliban were removed. Though the power structure of misogyny has been removed, though replaced with a...

The post is the first paragraph in quotation marks. What's your take on it? I absolutely can't stand misogyny, but especially from women. It's so frustrating.

politicsofadangerboi-deactivate asked: You are right, anyone who promotes misandry or a woman-dominated society is not a feminist. However, many of those women (and some men, though they are definitely in the minority there) completely and fully identify as feminists. Many lable themselves as "radfems." Ironically, many of these "radfems" display a combination of misandry and misogyny, especially about anything that...
politicsofadangerboi-deactivate asked: A little tip to the person calling herself an "equalist" rather than a "feminist:"
What you are talking about, women who want to fight for domination over men rather than equality for human beings, are what I refer to as "radfemnazis." Fortunately, there aren't a lot of them around. Unfortunately, they are very vocal and are often the ones that get...

Rant: Feminism
sanajamal:
I landed in the Houston airport yesterday and was happily pushing the luggage towards the exit when a woman standing by laughed,
“Hey, that’s not fair! Why do you have to push the luggage? That’s a man’s job!”
To which my Dad replied,
“Because she’s the man of the house.”
1. The woman was implying that girls should not have to do “heavy-work” such as push luggage; boy’s are built...
