style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma'>>From the bubbling depths of
intellectual foment known as "Right-Mind," Christ Church Elder Dale
Courtney's blog :<br>
<br>
In noting today that it was five years ago that the topless-in-Moscow issue
came to prominence with the refusal to repeal the City's anti-public nudity
ordinance, Courtney sagely affirms that "liberal old men" wanting to
look at barebreasted young women was the impetus behind the formation of the
Moscow Civic Association. And yes, Dale, I realize you probably
don't mean that <i><span style='font-style:italic'>literally</span></i> -- I'm
sure you think they also were motivated by hatred of all that's good and decent
in society, wanting to replace it with the horrors of feminized men, lite beer,
and mandatory bicycle helmets for all. I know you hold the MCA in
contempt, and I believe you said exactly what you meant. <br>
<br>
Which is more than a little odd, coming from a man who uses "Studly"
as his geocaching nickname. And it's especially ironic, given that
you serve a pastor who, as editor of a "Christian" magazine,
Credenda/Agenda, oversaw the publishing of a cover depicting a gorgeous woman
fawning over a gorgeous man with battery cables attached to his nipples.
You affirm the work of that same pastor, the one who chortled and applauded
after another elder and NSA fellow wrote an April Fool's Day press release --
on purloined UI letterhead -- announcing a feminist lecture on "The
Topless/Bottomless Duality" in academia, a response to a local controversy
that did nothing more than widen the circle of immature guys who reveled in the
chance to contribute to the titty humor that permeated Moscow five years
ago. (If this seems inconsistent with the values proclaimed at New St.
Andrews, the Kirk's paean to classic pedagogy, it ought to. On the other
hand, it's entirely consistent with the behaviors of this particular group of
fatuous fellows ...). I would be remiss if I didn't reminisce, too, about
that other knee-slapper -- the "HOOTERS" sign some skylarking
Trinitarians draped over the "Welcome to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>" sign on the west entrance of
town during that time. In short, the points I'm making -- ooh!
ooh! wouldn't it be funny if I, a woman, said "I have <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>two points" </span></i>! -- are that Dale is
remarkably enmeshed with a group that has a pronounced preference for boob
jokes, and is remarkably blithe in condemning MCA, given your
allegiances. <br>
<br>
Yep, it appears that Dale knows an awful lot about men -- liberal OR conservative
-- and the jollies they get from the sight, thought, or depiction of the female
breast. What puzzles me is why this paragon of Christian leadership is
more bothered by liberals than by leaders of his church acting like boys whose
"future men" pursuit appears to be a lost cause.<br>
