A late OSBP post

[pat]

A couple of odds and ends regarding the Open Source Boobs Project, since most everything worth saying has already been said.

The best explanation for why I have a problem with it is neatly summed up by kate_nepveu here, with a nice wrap up post here.

The Open Source Swift Kick In the Balls Program satire by misia fails for me because I am not a fan of humor about violence towards people. (And yes, I get that she's referencing Swift; for some reason I can not clearly articulate the reference does not map. For me, at least.)

The Open Source Women Back Each Other Up Program by vito_excalibur, on the other hand, is freaking brilliant, and I wholeheartedly sign on.

Pretty much random problem which happens from time to time: I cannot figure out whether I want to be rivka or klwalton more when I grow up.

I think I did get get misia's point, but I can see that you have to come at the problem from a very particular angle, which is: how do I create as quickly as possible, from existing social and cultural norms, a scenario in which many men will feel more or less the same way many women feel about the OSBP, given that many men do not appear to understand.
