lift that barge and bottoms up

OK just a bit of fluff before getting all serious again. Anyway, sometimes it is kinda nice to see women as they really mostly are, as opposed to the professional models and actresses.

Ah, just to be fair for once.

Ladies, there might be something for you as well, at the link for this article. I said ‘might’ cos I can never be sure.

Do women gape at men at much as we drool over women?  Might but perhaps more subtle?

The nude calendar for charity is a bit overdone, but it gives guys another excuse to look cos after all, it’s for charity.
Don’t matter what it’s for, feminists do NOT want us looking. Boo-hoo.

‘We’re just raising money for charity’: Female rower who stripped for naked calendar defends herself from feminist blogger’s attack

By Ruth Styles

A student who stripped for a charity calendar has hit back at critics who claim posing naked is tacky and damaging to the feminist cause.

Hettie Reed, a student at Warwick University, pictured second left in the picture below, said that singling out women is ‘grossly unfair’, adding that her rowing club’s charity calendar was ‘not about being part of some kind of watered down pornography.’

The rowing club calendar, which Hettie helped organise, is being sold to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, which was chosen because one of the rowing team’s mothers is suffering from the disease.

The offending calendar isn’t the first produced by the University of Warwick rowing club either.

The boy’s team have produced naked calendars for the past four years, even creating a behind the scenes video called ‘Brokeback Boatroom’.

But while the boys’ effort has made a significant contribution to charity after being singled out by comedian Stephen Fry and singer, Boy George, the girls’ first calendar has come under fire from self-described feminists and Hettie is furious.

‘There are some sad people out there and it’s a waste of time to criticise people for making a charity calendar,’ she told MailOnline.

‘The calendar was done in a non-tacky, tasteful way - if you look at the images, they are actually nice pictures, naked or not.

‘I do believe that women deserve equality and in my eyes, if the men of our rowing club are able to make a naked calendar we should have the right to do the same thing without [receiving] derogatory and slanderous comments - that is what equality is about.’

Hettie’s comments came in the wake of a blog on the Huffington Post website, which attacked Hettie and her friends, and said they had put the feminist cause back.

Layla Haidrani, a student at the University of Kent who describes herself as a commentator on feminist issues, wrote: ‘Groups of women posing semi-naked on a field with sticks doesn’t sound a fundraising initiative for charity, it just sounds tacky,’

‘Although many argue that it is purely for fundraising purposes, in my own university sports team, the majority of women who participated were not made aware and did not even seek to find out which charities were being helped.

‘Rather, they just view it as an opportunity to strip and attempt to gain notoriety with friends and family both back home and on campus.’

She continued: ‘I can’t help but feel that women are just victims in the ‘liberation game,

‘As opposed to being liberated by posing semi-naked, they are in fact just helping women to be perpetually viewed as sex objects, something to be ‘bought’, ‘sold’ and then tossed away once the Christmas period is over.

But Heidrani, says Hettie, has got the wrong end of the stick.

‘These naked calendars do make money for some fantastic charities and so what really is the harm in them?’ she asked.

‘We do have some good looking girls in there but our calendar isn’t necessarily sexy and it certainly isn’t demeaning.

Actually, the article is interesting and once again the femanazis take it upon themselves to declare what a women should and should not do. They make the agenda, they decide for everyone what is and what to think.  Who elected her or any one person to decide for all, what is proper and not proper in this calendar debate?

Layla Haidrani is a history student at University of Kent, Canterbury. Raised in Camden, she is a commentator on feminist issues and international politics affairs and defines herself as a passionate socialist.

Perhaps Ms. Haidrani would prefer women to cover up. Like this?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
