@Robyn Graves is a dirty leg-dragger: this. or when you dream about a friend you haven't heard from in awhile, and they call/text you out of the blue the next morning..
Wow, I barely know where to begin with this...I just have to say that I'm a Neo-pagan and feel more threatened by ignorant attitudes like in this article/ "New Atheists" (Dawkins/Hitchens/etc)/ people who think science can be a total replacement for spirituality, than by Evangelical/ Fundamentalist Christians. oh, and we're not all Wiccan. There's a myriad other types of Craft and magical spiritual practices, both within and without the Neo-pagan realm. there has always been debate within the Neopagan community as to what label who or something is, as to what can be called a Wiccan, Witch, Druid, Celtic, etc. But, as it is with ourselves and the universe, such categories can never be clearly defined. So, as both a Neo-pagan and an anthropologist-in-training, I must say that all kinds of spirituality, religion (even the ones we don't like), and magical belief (even the paranoid kind) serve an important purpose in human society, will always be a part of society, and should not be dismissed as mere "superstition".
@Awestruck: i was talking about objectification in media portrayals; christ, i did NOT say anything about rape! (and when i posted this, i was unaware about the rape, and obviously i don't think there's anything funny about that) i also did not say that it was a-ok to objectify anyone. i just do not see the harm in this particular segment- this guy knows what he's doing.
sorry, but i found this hilarious. and, in our unequal, patriarchal society- objectifying a man is NOT the same as objectifying a woman. not that this was a huge (heh) example of male objectification to begin with.
