Of course, you'd have to add a lot of words.

(80,708 posts)I think we really need to deeply examine the lengths at which totally ridiculous innocuous-seeming things can have horrible oppressive impacts on vulnerable populations and society at large. For instance, the direct and clear correlation between shag carpeting and violent crime, a story which has been COMPLETELY covered up, like a hardwood floor, by the mainstream media.
Or how the Ty-D-Bowl man ads in the 70s were a deliberate attempt by the Patriarchy to imprint an entire generation with coprophilia. I mean, it's obvious, yet anyone who tries to discuss it is silenced and mocked. Sad, just sad.

(16,399 posts)I wish it had used it's clear tribute to the patriarchy to finish better than 70th in the ratings.
That's all I have to add.

(6,670 posts)I'm thinking about working with Melanie Safka's brilliant post-Freudian insight into the nature of patriarchal oppression, from Psychotherapy, "A thing's a phallic symbol if it's longer than it's wide."

I should know, some extremely high barber saddled me with this exact look some time in 1974.
