I remember a part that the GB was talking about telling what positions were OK and what were not for married couples -
Yeah, I can just imagine that - doggy's a no-no but reverse cowgirl is fine!
Hahaha!!!
F**k me, you gotta laugh, haven't you ...
so its wrong for married couples to have oral sex and anal but what about touches to arouse?
to climax i would assume it was wrong.
but what if you go too far getting ready for sex and climax, do you need to go to the cult to confess..

Er, don't do it in the Kingdom Hall.
what do you think of this?
does it make sense?
any examples either way?.
If it's critiquing woke-ness in movies, particularly in Disney Star Wars, that you're after, another good youtuber is Robot Head.
so, i was thinking about which are my favorite films of the 21st century.. there are lots of 21st century films i haven't seen and want to see.. anyhoo, i came up with these .... the nightingale (2018).
the lighthouse (2019).
the martian (2015).
@Stephane - yeah, The Departed is great.
Interstellar is one of those films on my to see list.

@Punk - yeah, Critical Drinker is great, isn't he?
He's a published author who knows his stuff about movies, but he also has a wicked sense of humour too.

Caress a Dick is an incompetent - yeah, when going woke can cause serious problems, then it's not a great laugh.
E.g. the way the police have been so soft on the Extinction Rebellion protestors, letting them block motorways for hours when the old bill should have dragged them off the roads and into the back of a police van asap. That shit is serious - those protestors could stop an ambulance trying to get a patient to a hospital, for example.
But re wokeness in film and the arts, I think having a good laugh at it is pretty good. I mean it's meant to entertain us, right?

I am all for diversity and inclusion - yeah, me too. To some degree our society is already diverse and inclusive, although there are always wrinkles to iron out.
Like you, I hate it when diversity is shoved down my throat or when diversity is used to shut down my freedom of speech. Y'know, 'check your privilege'. Er, I'm a white male but I don't really have any privilege.
The only type of diversity I want shoved down my throat is intellectual diversity.
Another issue, at least for me, is when people call our society 'institutionally [something]'. It's like whatever these companies do will never be enough for some activists anyway.
I'm not in a great position to do much boycotting because I'm poor. So, I will continue to buy Gillette Mach 3 razors because I already have the Gillette handle. Although I shave infrequently, again just to save money.
I boycott the TV license, not only to save money but to prevent even more money going to the BBC. I think the BBC should be seriously reformed and all the dead wood should go, but it won't happen.
TBH, I like having a good laugh about all this 'going woke' crap. I have liked a few sites on FaceBook which laugh at events or take the mickey out of some people. It's good to laugh.
Some of it is beyond satire anyway but simply hilarious.

What do I think of it? - well, re the arts, some changes are ok but to change things just to score virtue signalling points is pretty stupid. For instance, if a film maker wanted to make a film of Agatha Christie's novel Ten Little N***ers then it would be fine if the title was changed. But what we're seeing often in film and TV is changes just to please purple-haired Communist-supporters. TBH, I found it quite amusing at first but now it's getting tedious.
So, what we tend to see is female characters being made 'strong' - they usually have purple or pink hair, shaved high at the sides. And they are usually incredible fighters, able to kick men's asses despite weighing 95 pounds soaking wet. Their sexuality is typically non hetero-normative.
It shows a complete lack of creativity.
There are plenty of examples of film and TV going woke. A fair few major franchises have been ruined this way.
Here's one example: a horror film will soon be released called Karen. About a white woman who moves next door to black people and she's racist. Yeah, it's a serious film, not parody of woke culture, lol. Check out the like/dislike ratio to this trailer. XD

Re banks and businesses going woke then broke, there are some examples of this, too. I think Barclays Bank went all-out in their support for LGBT+ Pride Month. I just want a bank which will look after my money and let me draw it out. I don't care about people's private lives. I can't be the only person who feels this way, lol.
All these organisations are free to go woke. But customers are free to choose whether we'll use their services or watch their movies or buy their products.
Hopefully common sense will eventually rule.
'Including The Night Stalker - Trust him. Invite him into your home as a brother' - did Splane really say this?!
My grandmother was one of his victims. I remember her telling me and my dad when we visited her home.
I think she was lucky because she told us he didn't rape her. But he did touch her inappropriately after breaking into her house at 3 o' clock in the morning. She must have been terrified.
I knew Delroy Grant lived a double life but I didn't know he was a JK, and I didn't know Splane said that about him. Splane is nearly as much of an asshole as Delroy Grant.
just a few years ago, any man that slapped a women was considered a piece of shit.
today people are are paying and cheering to see a man knocking the shit out of a woman.
what feminists, social warriors, and gender recognition fighters don't realized is that their actions are actually causing the world to revert back to the days when the world treated women as property, second class species, with no rights whatsoever, whose only value was a sex instrument for the male species.
I know some women are XXY and some scientific sources that some of them are fertile - this is all very well but these people are statistical outliers. They are well outside the average.
And in science, averages are very important. If an alien from outer space came to Earth and asked us about men and women, we'd say that women have XX chromosomes and get pregnant, because that's how the average woman is. We'd also say that men have a penis and testicles and produce viable sperm because that's what the average man is like.
I think you're doing two things: you're downplaying the importance of sex chromosomes, plus you're being a bit dishonest with statistics in that you are attaching too much importance to statistical outliers.
