Like, omething isn't juvenile fantasy just because it's in a comic book format, but many comic books are juvenile fantasy. The various content of the medium doesn't constrain the medium itself.

I've tried for years to explain that exact point in reference to anime/manga to my family lol ^_^ but they could never get past the whole "Animation = Kiddy Cartoon" thing.

If you say that women are much better for BE than men because they are women, then that is sexist because you are promoting a belief that one sex is better than another simply by virtue of their sex. Still, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

As long as it's balanced out with some quality PE, then no. It's not sexist.

not sexually but it was hilarious.

And really who fucking cares if its sexist or not. Its a stupid little fetish not a way of life. Guys like big breast it happens and is completely natural.

It's not like enjoying BE makes you misogynist.

Its all about context.

you say sexist, i say sexy

Not sexist unless you use it to demean a woman, or bleeds into your beliefs in what a woman should be (baby maker). Even stories where a woman does it for sex isnt demeaning if written well, because she *wants* it, and you can empathize with the character. Things can only be sexist in certain contexts, but thats the same for damn near everything, BE is not inherently sexist unless you force it upon someone, or ir tarnishes your beliefs in what women should do/be.

Probably a bit repetitive, but I have gotten into a habit of restating my points.

I don't think it's BE that's sexist, but rather bimbofication, as "it makes a woman (or man) into someone's ideal woman". You know what I mean?

Personally I do agree with the general concensus that its all about the context.

However, I would also like to point out the fact that this topic is slightly annoying, although this forum as a whole is for everyone, male or female, it does cater a bit more toward male preference, everyone who joins is aware of that and accepts that. I don't know, it is just starting to bother me that its getting to the point where men cant seem to do, say, or think anything without running the risk of being "sexist". Is it not human nature to favor one's own gender and objectify the opposite gender to a mild extent?

whether it be favored or not, this is my thought on the subject

Damn. People around here get shot for stating the obvious like that. :V

Well, not around here, but probably just in general.

BE isn't sexist, its objective, its shallow and it is borderline perverted but it is not sexist. AT no point would expansion of breasts state one sex is lesser than another. The common storyline linked with such things (nymphomania, bimboing and all that jazz) would be considered sexist as you are making them a lesser being (addicted, dumb, again etc).

This coinage really got out of control more recently. We must always remember being sexist is to think less of the other sex.
