Actually that is one of the most fallacious statements anybody has made about me (I have been straight as an arrow: no drugs, etc...top of my classes in all grades...a Christian and CONSTANTLY helping others because that is the right thing to do). Perhaps you misunderstood me. My post is that people whine constantly about things shown or said about females, yet they ignore the fact that there is FAR more shown and said about males in our society today than women. As I wrote, the vulgar references to male private anatomy are EVERYWHERE, but if somebody makes one to female anatomy, heaven forbid. As I was growing up, I watched some TV. One day (not even night, but day) I and my mother were watching PBS and what did we see but two men naked (full frontal) on regular broadcast TV(NOT cable, even). This is the point: are we equal or not (I have NEVER heard a case of a woman in full frontal nudity during the day on PBS, let alone this issue about the words: who ever complained to their TV station about the ridiculous amount of times and contexts where references to male anatomy are used?) There is something changing drastically in our society: if you are male or white, then you are less than any other of the options...why is that becoming more true with time?

I have a remote and I change the channel so that stuff is not in my home. When my life was shorter I still didn't like that language but at least I didn't have to worry about constantly monitoring everything and making sure my kids and crappy TV were not in the room at the same time. I don't even know what the B word for the male anatomy is and I don't want to know. I guess my parents were able to teach me how to get along in the world in a socially acceptable way. I'm sorry yours had trouble with you. Steve, I’m sorry you are watching such awful shows on TV. I have a remote and I change the channel so that stuff is not in my home.

I hear those 2 words (D and B) ALL the time on cable and far too often on broadcast TV and nobody so much as flinches. (BTW - can you PLEASE let me know why my post is not being allowed here? There is nothing inappropriate with it, so why isn't it being allowed?)

That said, why are celebrities given any credence at all? They live in a pretend world. I should think that gives them less credibility than what anyone else has to say.
