No such thing, outside of incurable diseased ones, as a shameful vagina. Vaginas are a beautiful thing, to be celebrated, and down right worshipped in some rare occasions.

Those don’t bother me either. I get the negative rap, but hey, air happens man.

C.f. The word pudenda. The word does not, as you may suppose, come from the fact that this is what you put your “pud inta”.

When I saw this article earlier, I had to laugh.

My wife (a pretty attractive woman with a PhD and a work history of interpreting for ambassadors and presidents) likes to jokingly brag that she is a “trophy wife.”

Me thinks there is some projection going on with these other women.[/quote]

I don’t think she’s bragging. She is a trophy with those kind of credentials.

Ok, I didn’t read all the pages in this thread, but I saw this and got really pissed. Since this is a thread about PC, what do you think of this:

Subway Jared has basically had his life destroyed because he told a woman he thinks middle school girls are hot!!

What the hell, is it against the law to say that or something? Totally insanity.

Subway Jared was almost undoubtedly investigated due to connections with the former director of his Jared Foundation, who was arrested for child exploitation, possession of child pornography, and voyeurism. His comment alone could not have been enough to get a search warrant.

True.

But the hell with Jared…how about what happened with Hulk Hogan! The PC police are using a version of the Gestapo’s tactic of having neighbor spy upon neighbor…we just do it with cell phones & tape recorders. Same principle the technology’s just improved. Soon it will be like living in an occupied country with people speaking in whispers afraid to speak out loud lest someone hear and call the police or employer, or what ever agency will destroy your life.

Hogan uses the N-word…a 30 year legacy is instantly wiped out. Insane!!
Stalin would be proud!

Better put Hogan’s picture at the bottom of this:

Right…

The pristine, righteous and purveyors of PC…the WWE… canned Hogan because he said “Nigger” 30 years ago? I’m sure there is MUCH more to this story, the most important of which is that Hogan had been known to burn a lot of bridges over the course of his Life…and maybe the WWE was ready to move on?

And as had been said about Jared…search warrants are not given to Police because of a comment 15 years ago about hot girls.

Mufasa

and a better one:

http://www.rollingstone.com/sports/news/hulk-hogan-fired-by-wwe-over-racial-tirade-20150724

Here’s the whole story. Hogan is suing Gawker Media. Transcripts of a deposition?, I don’t know, these articles are so poorly written they leave out entire facts, anyway, it says: "On Friday morning, the National Enquirer also released portions of a transcript submitted to the Florida court overseeing Hogan’s $100 million defamation case against Gawker Media, in which he reportedly states ‘“I am racist…”’

So Hogan is destroyed because he went on a tirade.

But it’s totally ok that bands like Public Enemy got famous for saying stuff like: “When y’all lived in the caves of Europe in the Caucasus Mountains, and you did, you made it with animals. And you still do it today! That is the truth, brothers! Am I right or wrong?”

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/public-enemy-rockin-the-joint-19880922

Somehow that’s acceptable speech. How come no one’s ever come out and destroyed Professor Griff over his past statements?

No, but it’s much worse: They searched his house because Russ Taylor, the leader of Fogle’s child-obesity foundation is a freaking pervert.

But according to the article:

“A second detail is from a former Florida journalist who told ABC in Sarasota that she met with Fogle numerous times the past decade during his promotional visits and that he made numerous inappropriate comments about middle school girls.”

The article goes on to say:

“That’s exactly what started this,” the woman said. “When I presented it to the FBI the first thing they said to me is, ‘This who I think it is?’ I said ‘Yes, it is.’ And it just went in full gear after that.”

Hear that: That’s exactly what started the investigation according to the woman. She went to the FBI and gave Jared up for his COMMENTS…then they tied Jared to Russ Taylor because of the organization and suddenly Jared is suspected of being involved in child porn…

Jared’s life and reputation have been destroyed, but worst of all:

“Fogle has not been arrested or charged and some close to Fogle say that is because nothing sinister was found in his home.”

They NEVER charged him, nor did they FIND ANYTHING IN HIS HOUSE! Yet his life and reputation are destroyed because of an allegation someone made to FBI.

Insanity!!

Who said Public Enemy had acceptable speech?

You protest by not buying their records (which most here probably don’t, including myself)…and their record Company can fire them just like the WWE and Subway did Jared and Hogan…

It’s their choice.

Mufasa

Fact is their record company DIDN’T fire them. And you could also voice your displeasure with Jared and Hogan by not watching WWE or eating at Subway.

Read the articles I posted above…

Jared got railroaded by the PC police, plain and simple. They fired him BEFORE any facts came out in the case.

Because if nothing was found in his residence or on his computers nor was he arrested, they had no reason to fire him.

And about Hogan:

http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2015/07/25/iron-sheik-didnt-take-news-hulk-hogan-scandal-well/

“The National Enquirer reported racist comments that Hogan allegedly made during a private conversation eight years ago”

Private conversation!

I’m not taking sides with Hogan and believe he was wrong to say what he did, but that’s beside the point.

Hell, Trump insults an entire race of people in a public forum and he’s running for president.

Anyone else see a problem with Hogan’s life being destroyed by something he said IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION?

Anyone else see a problem with Jared’s life being destroyed when NO EVIDENCE OF ANY WRONG DOING WAS EVER FOUND?

Anyone catch “The Boston Blueprint” on The Blaze? It was a pretty good documentary on how our political-correctness is fueling the rise of radical islam in Boston and elsewhere.

One quote I liked from the show: “political correctness is a suicide-vest to the west.”. The Islamic community gave up $50k to fund the local police in Islamic sensitivity training. Which was headed up by some lady (Boston politician) whose name escapes me.

The Blaze episode is definitely worth a watch.

If that was the case for both Jared and Hogan…you BET I have a problem with it…a HUGE problem.

The point that I am trying to make is that there is most likely more to the story than the “PC Police” run amok.

If not, both men were wronged.

No kidding. Look at the long list of celebrities and athletes who haven’t let criminal acts get in their way and compare their actions with those of Paula Deen and now Hogan.

I watched Rocky III yesterday and my initial thought when putting the disc in was, I wonder when this movie will get banned because of ol Thunderlips…
