*yawn… you guys are still arguing ?
yada yada yada

If anyone is looking up to me to act in my “holy way,” you are in for some big dissapointments.

I’m not here to please you nor to lead you. All I am here to do is to say - ‘hey I have fun doing this with the community - maybe you should join.”

Not that I deny all the validity of these arguments, but there’s a 1000 ways to disect how a situation could have been handle better while you actually only get to do it once & live to enjoy it.

My regrets does not rest here.

I agree with Lieutenant Theo wholeheartedly. I think compassion and good thoughts combined with a genuine sincerity and generous heart are essential for the preserverance of TreHouston.

Thanks WC. Yes I wasn’t being very clear at the onset to explain my thought. I agree that the innuendo (good word) isn’t at the extreme, but I do believe in the theory that everything adds up. My point being we don’t have to censor, or even to not tolerate it, but just to recognize (or be aware) of what the sexual innuendo (great word) meant. Sex is VERY taboo in the Vietnamese culture, indeed… but sexism isn’t (ask your moms what con gái or con dâu should be/do). I don’t think my examples are poor either (if you’re talking about the schoolgirls and the V-Tech massacre). Going to the extreme is my scare tactic But if you don’t like it, fine, scratch that. Here’s an example that isn’t as extreme, rape (or is it?). IF (IF!) girls/women are to be seen as merely sexual objects, what is to keep more from being victimized? I think the sexual innuendo (awesome word) fits into this category, right? That and the a&f sexist slogans… in the theory that everything adds up, of course.
I don’t believe I confused sexism and racism (was I that confusing?), I just brought up the fact that racism brings about more hoo-hahs than sexism. Besides, shouldn’t something that affects half the population be more touchy?

I’m still a guy

LT, you bring up a very good point, but your examples are very poor. That is why it is confusing, and led to further confusion. The video, while being a sexual innuendo, is not at an extreme end of sexism, based on my individual opinion. The fact that it is a taboo subject in some communities is what makes it touchy. In the future, please do not confuse sexism and racism together. One affects half the population, and the other affects parts of a community.

Tre Houston - please remember that you are setting a precedent, and please be a responsible community.
