Serious question, or at least a subject that deserves some serious debate. (Ah.. who am I kidding this is KB!)
Been thinking about this over the last few days; while a certain 'nympho' was making her debut on KB, a similar drama was playing out on another UK forum I occasionally frequent. There, a girl posted a stream of pictures she had taken of herself in fairly provocative, revealing poses, got a lot of attention and then was then joined by another girl who wanted everyone to know that she was a hobby pole dancer, and possibly interested in some girl-on-girl action. Cue much attention, obviously. What was interesting was that the critics there were also all male- mainly accusing them of sad attention whoring and yawnsomeness. This may be because there are fewer women on there- or that they've seen it all before. Who knows?
Now, here on KB I *think* that it was mainly women that had a problem with nympho's approach, and historically (because let's not forget, this really ain't a new thing) there's been a similar reaction. Then guys jump in and immediately accuse the women who are critical of suffering from sour grapes (and other tired cliches) - and, surprise, surprise, the girl herself will apologise for being so damned hot that she's upset the hairy lesbians.
Now, I don't honestly think that jealousy is what is behind the irritation for many of us, though I'm fully prepared to believe that there's some wrong on the side of the critics (it is a free world, after all). I think there's room for debate on both sides. Given that nympho's a Psychology type, and clearly intelligent enough to hold her own*, I'd genuinely like to see some input from her on what she feels the dynamic is here and elsewhere.
So: what do you folks think?
* No pun intended
