    o my goodness.

    art majors..

    :)

  • hee hee, i was thinking a warning, but decided to go for it, since it’s sort of abstracted… hee hee do you think anyone will knit one?

  • i like how it is ‘intact’ and not circ’d :P ;)

  • Kirsten

    but if it’s not circ’d will anyone recognize it? ;)

  • BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I love it!

  • Sam

    Kirsten; in the UK it is fairly uncommon for a guy to be cut. So yes, Uk mamas will probably identify with it, lol.

    Over here, if the guy isn’t Muslim or Jewish, he’s most likely intact.

    Doesn’t the 14th amendment already give women the right to be topless anywhere men have the right to be topless.

  • A.

    I can totally see this happening now:

    A mama and baby are enjoying a nice meal somewhere in public. Someone is offended, and tries to stop them. Mama digs around in her diaper bag, pulls out the distract a weenie, and says, its okay, I’ve got male genetalia right here! All is well with the world.

    If only, right? :p

  • Apryl

    That cracks me up. I tried to teach myself to knit once, and the only thing do date I have actually finished was a “penis cozy” for my husband. I told him it would help him keep warm when he goes skiing. lol

  • Wow, thanks for making me laugh about something that makes me so angry. Did that story from the previous comic not reveal that it is just about blatent discrimination? It’s not about breasts being obscene or offensive or harmful to children. It’s about people with female genetalia having fewer rights than people with male genetalia. Plain and simple. I guess we already knew that because it wasn’t about breast anatomy (men have nipples and areolas) or even the fatty tissue within the breast (anyone seen overweight men at the beach), it’s about the unrevealed genetalia below the bealt. People who are really against this sexism think they are on the other side because they don’t want to “see nudity” and then include that they don’t want to see male chests either. Okay, that’s not the point. You already see many things at the beach you don’t want to- tiny bikinis, men in speedos, etc. That won’t change. Males currently have legal rights that women do not. THAT IS THE POINT. Besides, every woman is not going to start going topless tomorrow if the laws were changed, in fact, few would. It’s about not having innocent women detained (and police force distracted) over excercizing a right that the person with a penis next to them has legally. Okay, rant over.

    I was told once by a male friend that the reason he was being more polite to me than others was because I lacked a penis. I gave him a quizzical stare and said, “I have a penis. Just because it isn’t attached to me doesn’t make it any less mine.”

    He stood and clapped and decided not to under-estimate me again.

    How I would love to have had a beanis to pull from my bag instead of the implied ownership of my partner’s genitals.

  • Nice rant Grace, well said!
    and Apryl, dare I say, “picture please!” hee hee.
    You guys just gave me an idea for the Contest…

    xox,
    Heather

  • clap clap clap (standing ovation from here too!)

  • Julie

    yes, well said, Grace.

    It’s all so ridiculous. The thing is, unless you know somebody intimately nobody knows for sure what genitals lie in somebody’s pants anyway. I have many transgendered and genderqueer friends and I know for a fact that out in the world many would be taken to have a different genitalia to what is actually there. Some people label their genitals differently to what the shape might suggest. Some people change quite frequently. Unless the police are going to operate on a ‘pull your underwear down now! I need to check the state of affairs!’ basis, how do they even know who can legally go topless anyway? Also feeling so glad yet again that I live in the UK where nobody would think of circumcising a newborn baby boy as a standard procedure!

  • pinklucy

    Oh – and forgot to add after my rant that I think distract-a-weenies are fantastic! It’s enought to make me want another baby. :) I told my ex about them and she just laughed for ages (in a good way) and said please can I post that she really really wants one! Are you going to make some? Can we buy them? Will you ship to the UK? Pleeeeeeeease. :)

  • gruf! gotta love knitters!

  • I love this and I love the ranty comments, because y’all are totally right.

    I knew a gal who had the guts to go topless in public (she wasn’t a mother or nursing). I admired her so much but could never bring myself to even consider it.

  • djfaef

    distract a weenie. Too funny.
