A bunch of cute girls there. So definitely not all of them. Nice try though.

I'm not finding any attractive women in that photo, sorry.

Authoritative = having or arising from authority = the power to enforce laws, exact obedience, command, determine, or judge.

Okay, so, since I am determining something and judging behavior in terms of decency, I suppose I am guilty... But then, who here isn't determining something or judging one opinion or another? Again, you're implying that this is something only my side of the argument is doing to make your own argument appear rational. No thinking person is going to buy it.

Where did I blame the entire situation on the people in line? I do believe I challenged the company's decision to hold the event in various posts, probably more times than I have targeted the people who showed up.

I never said it was just about the children. The first post here which included my mention of what a child might see was a brief one-liner. A "plus also". It was never conveyed as my primary concern. You people wanted to argue the point, though, so you got a side debate going.

Lmao, and you draw this conclusion how? Did you miss how I said twice that I'd be just as opposed to men lining up outside for fleshlights?

Not everyone who disagrees with you on something just has to be a sexist

"acknowledging that they enjoy orgasms". Thanks for bringing this all into perspective. Imagine feeling the need to tell complete strangers you enjoy having orgasms! As if anyone asked. As if anyone needs to be reassured that you/they/anyone on Earth is a "sexual being"

Hello, women love a bargain.
No kidding! One could argue these women are advertising their sexual behavior too, since we all know even the virgins among them won't be for long.



P.S. I love how the men (at the door) just look flabbergasted by the whole thing... only a woman could understand, I guess.

Only the people who think of sex when they think of marriage *shrugs*

I don't see how anyone could find this behavior offensive. But I do think it makes women look incredibly silly and stupid (My gf agrees. She said she'd never participate in something like that in a million years.)

And yes, many many behaviors make men look silly and stupid. And no, I don't hesitate to say it.

Lighten up, it was just a joke.

Although you have to admit, there are many who can't discuss the issue of gay marriage without thinking of sex. So I guess sex is just on some people's minds at all times!

Oh don't get me wrong, I think it's ridiculous too... I'm just agreeing that women DO love freebies, in fact nearly everyone does when you think about it. Haven't you seen those videos of "Black Friday" at Wal-Mart & Target every year? Scary stuff. I'm fairly claustrophobic myself, so I tend to avoid those chaotic scenes - but I love me a freebie too, so I'll take advantage if the scene is civilized enough. As for men looking silly, I'll take sporting events for $1000 Alex.

Sports are not for men to participate in... in any way whatsoever. They just don't know how to be involved without making us all look stupid

Just seems weird and shows more where society is today. Is there no public decency anymore?

Thousands Flock To NYC’s Trojan Vibrator Giveaway, Despite City Officials’ Complaints | The Jane Dough
Um, the kind of woman who is confident about her sexuality and is used to the anonymity in crowds in NYC? The MP District is a pretty adult neighborhood with lots of restaurants and clubs and tons of people walking around most of the time (it's just South of Chelsea and West of the Village). I would imagine there were a fair number of NYU students there as well as young professional women. Lots of women who use vibrators do so with their partners. I personally wouldn't be with a man who wasn't comfortable with adding a little spice and variety to a couple's indoor sporting events.

And, vibrators have been around for almost 150 years--I see no reason to believe that this giveaway indicates any declension in societal values. In fact, ads for vibrators appeared in the Sears catalogue in the early 20th century. If you're as interested as the OP seems to be, check out this book: Amazon.com: The Technology of Orgasm: "Hysteria," the Vibrator, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology) (9780801866463): Rachel P.

But you don't see men carrying around their blow up dolls with them, do you?

Actually, I seem to recall a few getting caught illegally driving in the HOV lane in Seattle with blow-up dolls riding shotgun as decoys.

You know...on the way to work.
