Two new facts that I learned about Australia today (and that you probably wish you didn’t know now.)
Mood:

Annoyed and downright confused.
I'm sorry, but WTF?
Australia bans small breasts in an effort to safeguard children?
That's right, apparently
if you're a woman with small breasts, you will induce pedophilia.
I honestly don't know whether to be outraged or just boggled. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally on board with pedophilia = BAD; however, when you take a fundamentally logical concept like that and then translate it into a ridiculous law like this, you lose all rationality points you once had. You can't ban certain adult publications simply because of breast size. It's incredibly offensive to declare that just because a woman sports an A cup she should automatically be suspected of being a minor, or that she's automatically spurning insidious new pedo lust in anyone watching. Child pornography should fall under the illegal category only if it ACTUALLY involves minors. I don't care if someone looks like they're under 18 -- if you can verify that they're an adult than it's not illegal. This whole things sounds a lot more like a government grasping at straws because they're all out of actual ideas.
Oh, and hey Austrialia, while we're at it --
what?
Female bodily fluids are apparently considered illegal and "obscene". (Possibly NSFW.)
Seriously? It seems the land down under *ba dum CHING!* has a lot of crazy sex laws. So Rule 1: no golden showers or similar urine fetishes at all; Rule 2: on the grounds that it
may possibly have itty bitty
traces of urine in it, so also is a no go for any depiction of the rare "female ejaculate". So let me get this straight -- watching a film where some dude lets go all over some woman's face is fine, very good, a-okay; if the woman has any incidental bodily fluids though then
that's obscene. I'm sorry... what? We're now holding each genders' fluids to different standards? That is the stupidest example of blatant sexism I've ever heard. Basing a ban on the theory that there
may be urine also does not count as justifiable reasoning in my opinion. (The whole idea that they're banning any sort of sexual fetish in the first place -- within non-violent limits obviously -- seems ludicrous to me to start with.)
So clearly I learned some new really dumb things about Australia today. Reading it back now it actually feels like a strange and slightly uncomfortable version of a "The More You Know" segment. To be honest I'm not one for usually baring my teeth at this sort of thing, but these are some of those really ridiculous types of laws that make me want to rip my hair out from both the standpoint of a woman and also just a general society viewpoint. I guess it was just one of those sorts of days.
I will make a feminist of you yet! BWAHAHAHA! ;)
Also, apparently the Australian Women-Are-Icky political club is also trying to say pictures of a female inner labia should be banned as well. Outer labia fine, inner labia OH THE HORRORS SAVE THE CHILDREN. I'm sure a whole generation of Australians will thank them for those fucked up sexual body expectations and images. WTF AUSTRALIA? W.T.F.?
