maybe we will have a "human's day" when we all grow up?

Zeddo - I am with you - I wish we were there

So many people in this world, many of whom are women, are still treated like property

Until that point - thanks to Celine for informing us of today's significance

We rock!

MOD NOTE: I removed the image of the Painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme as it was not appropriate for this thread. The posts related to that painting were also removed for the purposes of continuity.

Blessings to all the Woman on this day and all others.

You really made me laugh this morning, Richard.

So funny...one of the most famous master pieces of art, expressing how women were enslaving through history, expressing enormous compassion and love toward women, was removed because "it was not appropriate" for a thread about 8th March?! Ha, ha...! (But, OK, I will post it on another thread).

Really funny...and sad, my friend.

Oliver · 03-09-2010, 09:45 AM

Eugene Delacroix - Liberty leading The People

(Is this not appropriate, too? Before eventaually removing it, think that this painting is one of the iconic symbols of the state of France, so some French here can charge you for disrespecting their history.)

And "CUCUMBERS" were not removed as that is about honouring women
on Women's day,

If no one does not yet know, I say it here clear and loud,

A cucumber is symbol of penis.

So, is that what the moderators, Gaia Love, Richard, who removed the painting I posted,
and the painting that Oliver posted, want to give for women on Women's day to "honour" them ?, some sex ? more humiliation ?

Sexual content is against the guidelines..The Painting wasnt so much the issue then the highly sexualy charged response it got.

The thread WAS about HONORING women...how ever i do not feel that was YOUR intent.

.

can you please quote that highly sexually charged response?

And I will tell you Celine that you should change your profile picture because you show too much of your luscious body...some visiting your page may get offended...

Kulapops · 03-09-2010, 01:10 PM

I liked the painting Oliver... in fact I lived in Paris for a year and a half, I have seen many like it, including the Liberte one you have posted.

What annoys me most, is no one even mentioned the joke caption about the newpaper and pint of milk trick I placed under it.

What a waste

I'm slightly surprised that if we're worried about pictures of women on this thread, naked or otherwise, why paste a semi-clad woman in the lotus position (who is seemingly being impregnated by the seeds of a lotus flower?)...because Avalon is full of picture posts.. often by women, of fairies and nymphs in various states of undress....

Where to draw the line... only post the female form in a burka ?

Let's not start to have a sense of humour failure about that.

burgundia · 03-09-2010, 01:21 PM

not such a long time ago celine made a thread about that Love Park in South Korea and invited people to take a walk there...i did...and what I found there was disgusting to me...and now someone is trying to find sexual connotations in the picture or its interpretation? What about The Art of Touch thread? Putting up a photo of a man and a woman in bed, naked??? I feel offended and I couldn't sleep lst night because of it... witchhunt has begun?

Céline · 03-09-2010, 03:32 PM

Your words are condescending and not very productive..

You seem tohave descended into a cease pool ..and it stinks

I think I will leave you in your own world and will stop responding to any of your posts...anyway it won't be hard since you are all over the forum whether you have something interesting to say or not...

Céline · 03-09-2010, 03:55 PM

Ok lets now talk about how useless i am..

my value does not rely on your expectations burgundia..

Oliver · 03-09-2010, 03:50 PM

I didn`t see last night comments on the painting I posted, since I went to bed.
It is possible that some provocateurs/trolls were using the painting to place sexual connotations, very possible, ...but than only the ugly comments should be removed, not the painting. Gaya`s explanation was as the painting was the problem, hmmmm...

Whatever, mistakes are happening. Relax.

Céline · 03-09-2010, 03:52 PM

Oliver... it is hard to relax...

sorry for being an emotional being...

Ah phew... I was starting to feel redundant around here...

I'm not suggesting anyone should post anything of an overt nature, I understand the forum has guidelines - and I can honestly say that I don't think I have posted one picture yet of the eroto-fantasy art around here that you can't move for without stumbling over. It doesn't bother me, I'm a bloke after all, and some of them are really cute...

But seeing as we're supposed to be a pretty enlightened bunch *cough* you'd think we wouldn't have to be too worried about pictures causing offence amongst ourselves, would you? It's not like we're in an episode of Ally McBeal is it? Some laywer at the ready for the slightest act of defamation or perceived degradation?

The whole male/female thing is a red herring anyway in my opinion (I should know, I've been called one enough times

). At one level we're exactly the same, and at another level we're exactly different. A paradox?

No, I'd call that a cause for celebration.

Love to all the women and men out there,

K
