Is “Politics” a synonym for “Hypocrisy”? Fuck yeah!
November 17th, 2008ChocAnilla Lounge is about sex and images of sex. I use other outlets to vent my political and social gripes, whether about society’s ills or my friends’ (or my own) shortcomings. But here I am about to break my self-imposed rule, thus, the birth of the “Rant” category. (I promise to use it very sparingly):
I like to fuck my man. Lately, I’ve begun sharing images (and soon, video) of me and my man fucking, here at the Lounge.
In a recent conversation, while sharing an after-work pina colada with a few female co-workers, I alluded to my predilection for bumping uglies and all the various nuances that it entails for me, from seduction to satisfaction. (Remember, our motto is Succumb, Submit, Surrender.) So in expressing myself I took the already crude dialogue up a notch by using the F-word. This being a true gathering of bosom buddies (all females) feeling a bit tipsy and comfortable among each other, my comment did not really raise any eyebrows. Or so I thought at the time.
The next day I was approached by the newest member of the group from the previous evening’s gathering. She is, basically, my equal on the corporate ladder (but for my seniority), and the wife of a politician. She is also a fun person to talk to, although just a bit too “ambitious” for my taste. So while we get along on a more cordial level, we probably wouldn’t become BFF’s anytime soon.
In my office with the door closed, she proceeded to inform me, in a casual, and even friendly, manner, that she thought my use of the “big F” the night before was quite out of character and somewhat distasteful. Taken aback I asked if she was kidding. She confirmed for me that she was not. Now, while her approach was not aggressive, so to speak, I was nonetheless insulted by this attack. This, coming from a person who had used words such as “queers” and “dykes” in a derogatory manner to refer to same-sex couples while debating the merits & validity (or lack thereof) of same-sex marriage, probably shouldn’t have surprised me. I had already gotten from her a sense of self-righteousness and moral superiority. This is someone who wholeheartedly supports her husband’s political maneuvers to secure favorable zoning laws for developers at the expense of the disenfranchised (read poor) residents of the city.
Anyway, our light hearted banter soon gave me a bad taste in my mouth and, with the same casualness as she had begun the conversation, I politely asked her to get the fuck out of my office, as I had real work to do.
I shared this incident with the other ladies and they all basically laughed it off as the other one being persnickety or uptight. One even suggested that she simply needed a good fuck. And there seems to be no real, lasting damage done to our professional relationship.
But this left me thinking about the word FUCK. And so I went to look it up in a bunch of places, including the ever trustworthy Wikipedia. What I found was so amusing that I had to break my own “no rant” rule here at the Lounge. Following is an excerpt from a part of the results returned when the word “FUCK” is searched at Wikipedia. You may remember the incident. What so amused me was the very last sentence:
“In June 2004, United States Vice President Dick Cheney replied to criticism about Halliburton’s role in the reconstruction of Iraq from Democratic senator Patrick Leahy with “fuck yourself”. The media, and opposition parties were very quick to highlight the White House’s stance on obscenities uttered in this manner, quoting their reaction to a similar outburst by John Kerry in December 2004. Coincidently, Cheney’s outburst occurred on the same day that the Defense of Decency Act was passed in the Senate.”
Needless to say, I am still laughing. And I have now taken to greeting my priggish peer with salutations such as, “How the fuck are you today?” whenever I get the opportunity. I think she has begun to get used to it. I only hope her “virtuous” character would never allow her to peruse the world of sex blogs. Otherwise, I’d be FUCKED!
