Angry Comments

As the three of you still reading this blog (but not looking for Funny Pumpkin Pictures, Funny Turkey Pictures, or Funny Santa Pictures) probably know, a blogger sometimes gets angry, thoughtful, thought-provoking criticism. For example, I posted a link to Naughty T-Shirts on my FaceBook page. I labelled it "[n]ot suitable for viewers under 21." Here's a contrary view:

Not for under 21? More like not for over 25. I was under the impression you consider yourself a feminist. Pictures of young woman with their body parts exposed and their heads decapitated is about as anti-feminist as it gets. These girls are young enough to be your daughter. Do you think any mother or father would want these photos of their daughters proliferated around the internet? If someone took a photo of your son at this age, would you want some older man putting it up on his blog?

A blogger also sometimes gets comments that defy characterization as anything but nuts. For examples, see the recent comments on this ancient post.

The first kind gets my attention. The second kind, not so much.

Oddly enough, both writers commented overnight last night --- the first things I saw in my in-box this morning.

Right after I posted it, I got opinions from three intelligent women I trust about the Naughty T-Shirts post. Friend A thought it juvenile. Friend B found it hurtful. Friend C thought it funny. Told of the first two opinions, Friend C volunteered "I think someone needs to lighten up."

So far here's the tally:

Three opposed to the post (Friend A, Friend B, and the FaceBook poster quoted above.)

Two for it: (Friend C and myself.)

What do you think?
