So I followed a link in a locked post to the Open-source Boob Project, and here's how my thinking went:

1) Wonder if I should post to my friendslist "Yes, you may".

2) Well, but should I friends-lock it?

3) Well, but then I should really remove anyone from my friendslist that I don't want touching my boobs.

4) Well, no, because I can say no to them. But wouldn't it be funny to just post an open post saying "If I drop you from my friendslist in the next day or so, it's because I don't want you touching my boobs"?

Anyway, Yes, you can. Ask, that is. I'm likely to say "You can touch my boobs; it's no big deal."

Hi there,

you wrote: It's the suggestion that anyone, anywhere, should be able to question my right to my bodily integrity because it will make the world a happier healthier place with butterflies and Bambi and bunnies ejaculating rainbows that got my hackles up, I think.

YES! This is what I was getting at above. I didn't get the chance to reply to folks earlier because I was at work and umm... working, but this is exactly the issue. My bodily integrity and yours and yours and yours come first. All the rest of that stuff comes afterward, and if that's something that makes some folks sad or upset, then they might want to look at their senses of entitlement a little and see if there's something to examine there.

I can't believe I still have to argue this point in 2008, but in situations like ferrett's post, I do have to. Thanks for the comments above, and may I friend you?

I had time to rant today

And it's still taken me all day to get my objections focused down to that paragraph you quoted.

Thank you very much, and I'd be delighted to be friended. Most of my posts aren't this exciting, though. ;)

You really should friend her. I think you two would like each other, and plus, if you end up getting to know her, she might show you her poetry, which kicks ass.
