Is there anything more taboo on the face of the planet than male sexual desire? If a woman walks down the street nude, we applaud. If a male does it we shout, "Somebody shoot that sick son-a-bitch!" And though this may be a man's world, it's a woman's life and the male sex is in a constant mode of covering this up. See guys, if you really are superior you don't have to prove it.
Sort of like Obama firing McChrystal, it's an act of insecurity, trying to prove he's the boss by standing up to his employee. But I digress.
Western hypocrisy forces us into the position that demonizing male sexuality is somehow "moral". Drive down the street and see a woman pressing her bare breasts against the living room window and you're a "peeping tom". That is actual legislation in some rural places in the south, they are so moral.
Then there's the absurdity that Playboy exploits women, when the reality is just the opposite. And it just keeps getting sillier and sillier in our propaganda to one another. We are a nation brought to our knees by one semi-exposed breast on TV ("How am I supposed to explain women have breasts to my children??!"), outraged to the core we were.
Of course, raping Middle Eastern countries for their resources doesn't bother us one whit. You know you're moral when you can blow up children and feel good about it! But I digress.
And now the Silly Sex Charade has hit my own backyard. Arlington is considering an "exlusion zone" in its entertainment district that includes the Cowboy's new stadium. The ordinance would state that anyone convicted of a prostitution crime in the last two years - pimps and johns as well - who enters this special zone of morality will be arrested. Sometimes you just can't make this shit up.
The police chief is selling this farce with his moral boner completely erect. "It's a pretty creative and innovative way to deal with one of the oldest problems on earth," the chief fairly giggled. That problem, of course, is people being ashamed of their sex and needing to criminalize others' so as to make theirs somehow more proper.
Sort of like making pot illegal and alcohol legal so one set of drug users can set themselves up as more holy than another set of drug users. Jesus, that's dumb. But I digress.
The police clown was also quick to assure this has nothing to do with the Super Bowl coming here in the next few months. And he's not completely without a heart. Comrade Chief says if you can prove you are there for a legitimate reason - "going to work, seeing a doctor or meeting an attorney" - you will actually be allowed to do that. Let's hope you have your papers in order or it's the gulag for you!
Of course, if you are a murderer or a rapist or a thieving investment banker or a deadbeat like Tom Hicks, Arlington will greet you with open arms! You some fine folks! But if you got a blow job outside the approved dating rituals of our society then by God it's the hoosegow for you! Yes, this is the plan to keep Arlington's entertainment district "clean". I'm laughing as I type this.
[Comrade Clown] said people who have been convicted of a prostitution related offense, even in other cities, within the past two years will be notified about the exclusionary zone and given a map that shows the boundaries and a list of reasons they would be permitted to visit the area.
What Der Kampf failed to mention is how it would be enforced. I'm sure a branding with a scarlet "A" wasn't far from their twisted little minds. Or maybe some roadblocks to check everyone's papers as they enter this "family-oriented" zone (they've done it before for insurance even though they have an online database of who is covered and who is not.) Yes, folks, these people live among us, actually thinking they're good and normal.
Repression is not the answer to sex. Never has been, never will be. Repression isn't the answer to anything.
