I think that is one of the reasons why the thread has coolness potential: to expand the normalized view of beauty/sexiness by recognizing the fabulosity of notables that may not appear on "People's 100 most gorgeous celebrities" (such as undervalued writers, musicians, ect.). :)

I just sent an email to Linus. I asked him to close down this thread since I can't.

Never in a million years did I ever mean to be disrespectful towards anyone. It is just so not me. If anyone wants to place blame on anyone, blame me. Don't take it out on each other, please. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. It was just something silly to do. That was my intention.

Life is very different for me. I am retired, and home now. I spend more time online than ever before. It helps pass the time. Plus I get to talk to all of my friends.

I am just so very sorry this thread has taken this path. It was never ever meant too. My apologies to each and everyone who was offended and insulted. Please forgive me.

Namaste,
Andrew

I think it's interesting that when this EXACT thread was started on another butch/femme site by a WOMAN it took off like hotcakes and was a fun-spirited place where just as many women/femmes shared their opinions as butches/men. This thread, in my opinion, can in no way be sexist or objectifying to women when women are welcome to and are participating. I think most everyone who knows Andrew or has read his posts knows he's not coming from a place of disrespect.

And for the record, not all men subscribe to a 'Hollywood standard of beauty' nor do they all merely look at a woman (or her body parts) and think they actually want to fuck her without knowing a thing about who she is, how she thinks, what makes her tick, etc. I find the assumption that men pr women (butches or femmes) reduce women (or men) to body parts or mere sexual acts extremely offensive - much more so than a fun and fluff thread where people name their fantasy taps.

For the record, feel free to objectify me. I'm not fragile. And I'll probably objectify you right back.

Well, Medusa and I have discussed it and decided to close the thread. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact myself or the Admin.
