For those not in the know, a Booty-call is basically (for example) a guy using a woman for sex whenever he wants it. For some women, they themselves prefer it that way, for others...they lack self-esteem and are hoping that it'll be 'Booty first...relationship later'.

Women also use men for booty-calls, but the classic case if generally a guy knowing of several women he can 'rely on' during the week.

For myself, I've had several women I mainly just keep on my speed-dial for a booty-call on a Saturday night. Especially if I went out on a date that didn't go anywhere, as soon as Ms. "I don't do anything on a first date" says "thanks for the wonderful night...",

I'm immediately on my cell calling up my Booty-Call list.

By re-arranging the numbers on my speed-dial list, I'm now able to get a booty-arranged within the first couple calls. Easier access gets higher on my list...harder-less available ones (girls with boyfriends) lower on the list.

Thanks to Apples 'iSync' I can now arrange/spreadsheet all of the numbers, categorize their abilities, location etc.

I have it down to a science. Saves me time.

Sometimes if I think the date is 'going south', while she's gone to the bathroom, I'll simply call up a few and make arrangements right there in the restaurant.

Anyhow, your two-cents (besides the usual condemnation) would be interesting to hear.

I'm just wondering if Feminists are for or against Booty calls. A *lot* of women do the same, and thus you could say that this is 'empowerment'

Well, since this is the feminism forum and you started a thread in it, how about you answer your own question?

Some men enjoy a nice piece of wicker, but the classic case if generally a woman selecting it for herself.

For myself, I've had several nice pieces of wicker lawn furniture I mainly just keep in my garage for use when the weather turns nice. Especially if I went out on a date that didn't go anywhere, I might want to run home and curl up in wicker chaise lounge with a good book instead.

By re-arranging the furniture in my garage, I'm now able to pull out the piece I want within the first couple tries. Easier access gets higher on my list...harder-less available ones (like the really heavy table) lower on the list.

Thanks to Apples 'iSync' I can now arrange/spreadsheet all of the pieces, categorize their abilities, location etc.

What do feminists think of wicker lawn furniture? What's the feminist perspective?

Well, as a classic feminist in the Susan B. Anthony tradition, my concern is that women use wicker furniture as they see fit, without having to surrender their own autonomy to other styles or uses.

(Wicker looks nice but I hate how it pokes my butt and other sensitive sitting areas. )

Now, those wicker reindeer that we see on people's lawns in the winter, all feminists are in favour of those, if I'm reading the minutes of the last "Feminists and Wicker Oppression" conference correctly.

I am currently writing my own book: The Guide to the Feminist Position on Everything. It was too confusing going to the bookstore and seeing so many books in the "Women's Studies" section. They all had these different authors and different opinions. I saw the need for a quick reference guide, one where I could look up "oranges" or "post-colonial theory" or "300-count thread sheets" and read the final, definitive, feminist position on the subject.

(Props to feminist icon Eminem.)

Why do feminists always come in "bunches"?

OK now, really, truly, seriously. If I were to present such a title to a university class(es) with a straight face, what percentage of the class(es) would believe such a book exists? Any takers?

Here we go again. A man trying to dictate to us Fem Ladies what we should talk about. And, surprise surprise, it's about *another man* - a *Wicker* Man, to boot!

And what's more and to boot, and too besides, a forty-foot tall man. (Link contains plot spoilers).

Edit:

The original, of course, involves a community of people who worship a giant phallus.

Why do I get the feeling that little detail won't make it into the USian remake?

It starts off with long-winded narration telling us how man's discovery of the wheel needs to be revised for new space-age travel. Then we have more narration, this time by Peter Bogdanovich, in the first person. It seems that in 1998, two astronauts went to Venus, along with a mechanical man known simply as "Robot John," who looks like a cross between Robby the Robot and the robot in The Phantom Creeps (1939,) and talks like Stephen Hawking. In the year 2000, three more astronauts go to Venus to try to find the first two. "This is truly a prehistoric planet," one of the them marvels in the new dubbed-in dialogue.

Uncanny, how well Bogdanovich predicted the future 30 years out.

Why such prescience hasn't translated into true directorial stardom, I'll never know.

Mars needs womyn.

And, if Mars, proverbially, needs guitars:

it follows that the womyn -- though perhaps that should be "grrls" -- need guitars.

QED.
