UNF Newspaper Shocks

[wsansewjs]

You are missing Sarah's point, and sorry, I have to agree with her.  Her problem isn't the information.  She agrees with the topic. Her problem is the objectifying of the woman's body on the cover.  The woman is scantily clad; the man is fully dressed.   Why isn't the man in a g-string?  If you are going to make this woman into a scantily clad object, why not the man?

That's the issue.  It's one the women's libbers have been pointing out for quite some time, and you are all still missing the point. 

Sarah, glad you pointed it out.  Obviously, someone needed to bring the discussion back into focus.

What if it was the OTHER way around where the girl is giving a guy a blowjob.  I think that would be MORE degrading to women, because it makes them look like they are giving the pleasure. I can go on all day about this, but I don't want to spill the dirty details. It would be too graphical to show the dirty areas.

The article talks about HPV from ORAL SEX. This means using your face, hands, etc. to engage in that activity. The cover portrays that pretty darn well.

The way the cover it is now, in my OWN opinion, is to honor the women and give them a sense of empowerment by portraying them in control while the guy is deliberately offering his service to her. She deserves the pleasure and respect. The way this cover is set up is to prove the acceptable censorship for the specific area, while giving the clean and shocking message of what's happening.

I honestly do think the editors had lot of things on their mind and steered through different obstructions in order to arrive at this final rendering of the cover. This is not one of the most shocking covers they ever did. They even did more intense ones in the past.

I personally think the two REAL issues are the HPV and how sensitive people are to a shocking media content. It is pretty sad how the second issue is part of this real deal.

What Josh said.  Really, we're all adults.  The people at UNF are adults. 

This kind of thinking is why a member of the Florida House is being reprimanded for using the word "uterus" in house chambers.  Honestly, people should stop being afraid of their bodies.  Or at least keep their fears to themselves.

No I agree with you Josh. I'm not shocked at all, and agree that it's sad that people in this community and in other areas are (given posts I've seen on sites/blogs and the amount of attention it's received in the local news).

And again, I'm not upset about the photo itself. I just don't think it was the best one to illustrate this topic. For another story, sure.

We tend to underestimate how much younger people know about the human anatomy.  Reminds me of a joke...

A mother had a routine of bathing with her son ever since he was a baby.  It was convenient for her and it allowed her to bond with him from an early age.  As the boy grew older, she began to ask herself when to wean him from the mommy-son baths.  She decided that she would discontinue the practice when the boy became aware of physical differences.
One morning, while the two were in the tub, she stood to get a towel.  Her son pointed up at the area between her legs.
"What is that, mommy?"
The mother paused and had to think for a moment.
"That is where I was split with the golden axe."
The boy, without missing a beat, hollered...
"You're telling me that you got hit in the ["See you next Tuesday"] with a golden axe!?  How crazy is that?!"
The son started taking baths alone the next day.

MORAL (And there is one): It will shock you what young people already know.

I knew this crotch-shaving fad would end badly.
