Regarding Tattoos
Some theories, in a sequence.
First up, Dr Daisy Dixon, a philosopher of art at Cardiff University:
my theory is that a reason these men don’t like tattoos on women is because it’s an outward sign of creative agency and self-ownership – it signals that the woman’s body is hers and no one else’s – it aesthetically undermines and rejects men’s felt entitlement to our bodies 🖤 https://t.co/EwlxW9oxHQ

Then, a less lofty and perhaps more plausible take by Tim Newman:
For me it reflects poor decision-making which is downstream of poor judgement. Not something you really want in a relationship. https://t.co/9U2u4Y2OG0

And Devon Eriksen offers this, which you may want to read in full:
There is a sort of woman who is deeply and personally offended that Men don’t like Thing.
And she always has Theory.
Theory is about how Men don’t like Thing because they are Bad. All of this is explained by Story.
Story might be plausible, and make sense, but it’s one of… https://t.co/ROC5Bab0wR

I should add that there may in fact be more than one Daisy Dixon. But still.
And because you like footnotes.
Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.
…but there’s something about nose rings…
Yes, yes they are.
And there it is again. Older men liking younger *adult* (I very much stress the adult bit) women is “creepy” and “abusive”. Unless it’s her who is the younger adult woman. Then it’s fine.
It’s been awhile, like oh, say, 25 years, but I was driving northbound on Interstate 65 through Nashville. Prominent billboard announced: “Tattoos, while you wait”
No, I am not making that up.
One of the X’s. Zizz’s? Zizzer’s? Xit’s? Zits?
Exactly. Also worth keeping in mind: the Hot-Crazy matrix.
Prominent among things about which I will not search, right up there with anything even remotely Epsteinish.
Because you’re so deranged that nobody wants to be around you and employers can see that you will be only a detriment.
Uh oh … tats AND nose ring (plus a few other red flags).
Make Asylums Great Again.
It would help if liberals stopped telling them that they are oppressed.
Auto accident involving low impulse control persons of diversity?
Do not stop. Drive far away before calling 911.
Update.
The difference between those with a pierced nostril and a pierced septum pretty much comes down to the former not having me itching to lead them out to the pasture.
Caution: Some of them would enjoy it.
Demonic.
Every space flick ever made.
They are all of an ilk, if you really can’t sing, show schlock shock.
The best pear I ever had was a tree-ripened specimen bought from a street vendor in Córdoba.
Hot stuffy air; cool, sweet fruit. I still remember it from 1991.
SHE’S IN CONGRESS???
<< consults Grok >>
No, that’s Olivia Jensen, a “legal observer.” What happened is that Mayra Flores (R-TX) posted the video of the spicy ICE agent and praised the agent.

Took me a minute! Ah, classic ‘Trek’ when it was entertainment, not…whatever ‘Starfleet Academy’ is
It occurs to me that if you feel a need to make supposedly educational adverts about not sexually harassing other passengers, or groping them, or stabbing them, or pissing on the seats or whatever, then you’ve already lost an important, possibly decisive battle. Some fundamental mistakes have already been made.
In that a functional, civilised society wouldn’t have a large and growing number of people roaming about who need such things explaining. As if this were new and entirely novel information.
This.
My grandmother was offered a lemon fresh-picked from a (California?) relative’s tree. She said it was like no other, the best she’d ever tasted.
