Hooray for spending 3 months with comments to the effect of 'daaaaamn, she hot!' and 'I'd tap that!' whenever a girl in the top 2% of attractive people walked past. Yay for any other girl who walked past getting comments like 'Ooh, u know, bit of cushion for the pushin'', or implications of a one night stand without any commitment, simply because the girl is not hot enough.
Who knows if my stepbrothers were actually joking or not? Does it really matter? Surely the purpose of a joke is to be funny, but noone apart from my stepbrothers seems to think these comments are.
I certainly don't. I think: Where the hell are they learning this stuff? Is it from their popular bastard friends, is it from girls who LIKE it being implied that they are 'do-able' (god forbid), or is it from incredibly stupid TV personalities?
What could possibly make a guy think they'll get a positive reaction from thinking all girls will throw themselves willingly into a physical relationship as long as it's made clear that they are 'hot' and could be 'tapped'? Isn't that like seeing something nice in a window and expecting it to be your's?
Gah, the idiot guys who think like that practically define objectifying.
peace and love from a very frustrated caitlin.

yay to your new post! i do not believe that young women should be judged by their "tappability", we have enough pressure as it is to be the 'perfect' model of a woman; you should feel happy and beautiful in your own skin, because you all are in your own way!

I entirely agree with you, to simply judge someone on their appearance or "Tappability" is both shallow and irritating. To voice it then, is to go lower, to get support from someone else, to fuel you on and make them think it's alright.
Grr, how I hate peer pressure.
Also, just thought I should let you know - I'd tap that :P
I'm married to you so I can say whatever I like ^_^
I'd soooooo tap you.
I go on tapping overdrive when I see you.
But I ahve enough self-restraint to not >.< That might make a few of my other wives and husbands and mistresses and cleaners a tiny bit jealous. Not to mention gross everyone out...
Anyways. I agree. The male population and some of the female population should tap themselves >.< and not make everyone feel like sex objects and such.
Love you, Wifey
