![]() ![]() Tits are tits regardless of whom they hang on. Sure, based on our own beliefs, some people might have an issue with exposed female breasts, but what we believe doesn’t trump the basic science that says female breasts are basically the same as male breasts. The point of the law is to be cold, calculating and passionless as a means to temper our behaviour when we’re not. And if you’re worried that someone might “get the wrong idea,” well, quite frankly, no one is responsible for someone else’s shitty behaviour, and you can’t restrict someone’s rights because someone else might be a total ass about it. Probably because, as Alex pointed out, those things can be a bit hard to carry around unencumbered all the time, especially if you’re a little more blessed than others. It’s not as though they spray acid! And besides, women are allowed to go topless here in Ontario, yet most of them wear shirts anyway. If you ban something based solely on the fact that it gets someone off, you’d pretty much ban everything that has ever existed. ![]() Yeah, good luck unseeing that, but you get my point: people can and will sexualize anything. And before you say that women can lactate and that men view breasts as sexual objects (two points that, when placed together, are creepy as shit), watch this and tell me that the same argument can’t be reversed (WARNING: NSFW IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY): They’re absolutely no different from men’s tits, except that they’re bigger (usually). ![]() It’s the same argument I’m using in response to R Jeanette Martin’s being told to put the girls away at the Toronto Festival of Beer. She responded by spitting out one final wad of saliva before dead-panning, “They’re just tits.” On a whim (and a couple swigs of jungle juice), I asked her if she was comfortable walking around with her breasticles out in the open. Not cartoonishly huge but enough to qualify as “well-endowed.” By this point in the night, they were out and on full display. My friend, we’ll call her Alex, had huge tits. Linguistics: Communication.I remember back when I was living in the West Island of Montreal, I had a drunken conversation with a friend, while holding her hair back as she barfed in my family’s tulips, during one of my older brother’s house parties. 'Tits or GTFO: The Logics of Misogyny on 4chan's Random /b/', Fibreculture Journal 22: 10932.

While this practice is untenable offsite, viewing misogynistic discourse as a strategic, regenerative practice onsite is necessary as /b/ occupies an extreme point on the genealogical continuum bridging the transgressive cultures of bulletin-board systems, shock sites, and hacker culture. These users are strategically targeted and trolled based on their exposed identity aspects. New users unbalance 4chan’s anti-normative, anti-celebrity, and anti-leader ethic by posting self-photographs primarily featuring women. However, /b/’s misogyny demonstrably results from an internal moral panic about cultural exclusivity. The decentralised, anonymous imageboard 4chan is decried for its discursive construction of gender, particularly on its Random - /b/ board. ![]()
