It's a tale as old as time, a young woman was photographed giving head to a dude and the photo started making the rounds on all the usual Internet suspects. Of course, she was labeled “dirty”, “slut”, and “rank” — and the dude? Oh, he's just a dude.

It all went down at an 80,000 person Eminem concert at Slane Castle in Ireland. The crowd got a little out of control, and the local police arrested over 50 attendees. Fine, whatever, but then on Saturday photos from the festivities emerged showing a high school girl performing oral sex on two different men in the crowd.

The Daily Dot reports:

In one photo, the girl locks lips with a man in a neon-green hat and matching pants. In another, more explicit shot, the same man is almost totally nude. He raises his hands victoriously in the air. He has not been harassed or bullied or had his identity broadcast to the Web.

I will be talking about this on my show this week

1. Someday

Women will own their own sexuality. Someday.

2. According to so-called "sex positive" feminists, they already do!

Girls are free to explore their sexuality and be "proud stripper slut(s)"!

Of course, there's that whole, you know... misogynist society/patriarchy/reality thing... but that's no fun to think about, much less actually fight. So much easier to just wish it away!

I don't believe it, so it doesn't exist!

See? Easy!

3. "You can't choose to be objectified when you're born objectified"

Paraphrasing Twisty.

With gender equality, they'd have an argument, until then, it's all false distorted smoke and mirroed logic given our gendered social expectations.

In other words, bullshit.

4. Yep. We're a hell of a long way from that point.

Maybe after a few more girls kill themselves after being bullied by misogynists the pro-objectification, pro-porn, pro-prostitution types will get a clue about priorities. I ain't holding my breath.
