LoBFCanti - Sorry my memory messed up. I shouldn't have said that Japanese people would think of her as trampy. But she did say she is more comfortable in NY than in Japan wearing a skirt and heels in this

ShuriKid -
First off, no I do not support the Middle Eastern mindset of how women should cover themselves. What I am saying is that women shouldn't have to cover themselves in order to be seen in a non-sexual manner. Eastern culture isn't so perfect either, there are many incidents in Japan of girls being touched on public transportation that I hear about. And on a completely different note, I know Japan has a legal age of consent at 13, which to me is just... yeah...

So you are saying that if a person doesn't want to reveal their body they can't become a celebrity? I have stated Utada has never been very sexual in the way she dresses, so I'm not sure she would want to be viewed that way. Yes her lyrics are sexual, but I'm not talking about lyrics, I'm talking about what she wears. Regardless, this is all just tossing up crap into the air because neither of us know Utada and what her reaction to this sort of thing would be. I feel like we should respect the fact that she could be offended, and if not for her, than for the other members of this forum. Regardless of whether or not the actual thread was in good taste, seeing a thread for the official Utada boob fan club might cause a few people to not want to join.

And no I don't believe that it is a case of reverse sexism. Every group has their sensitive spots, and I think people should try to respect them. Realize that some people may find it offensive because their group has had a history in dealing with this sort of thing. And ShuriKid, I'm sure you have been through a lot, everybody has. So you understand where I am coming from, I'm a gay guy who is 1/4 Indian with a very christian family, in highschool I used to have long hair and wore makeup, trying to do that whole anime androgen look Grew outta that <.< So we all have our histories. It isn't a competition. And a woman hitting a man is different, it isn't a fair fight. Regardless of the gender you identify with, a person born a man is going to be stronger then most women. Could a woman do the same amount of damage? Yes, but that is the minority of abuse cases. I agree that women shouldn't be excused for smacking men, but realistically, a woman is less likely to do the damage a man could.
