: : : Male chauvinist this fella, I presume?
: : : How language can reflect the undercurrents in a culture...
: : : Fear Huggy, remember your Turkish Trader who was courting you?
: : : Hey, these guys are not sooo bad after all.
: : : Here is a little comparison:
: : : American men call a good looking woman: "knockout," "provocative."
: : : Both description show the sex-appeal of the female as something aggressive the men have to protect themselves against, or have to attack = provocative can mean they feel provoked to violate...

: : : Turkish men describe a good looking, beautiful or sexy female
: : : as: Bir ichim su = "a drink of water"
: : : Now, a drink of water is salubrious, refreshing, life giving.

: : : Which one would you, as a female, prefer? To be seen as someone who incites violence, or let's use the lesser term: action...
: : : or to be seen someone who is salubrious, refreshing, life and health giving?

: : : Another thought for the day.

: : Yiiiiiikkkkkkeeeeesssss!
: : Cries out the TowneCrier!
: : 4th line from the top, I meant Dear Huggy, not Fear Huggy!
: : I don't want you to fear anything at all, Huggy! Keep your heart open, give us the gifts of your beautiful daily thoughts, and SMILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

: : Smile with love light and laughter

: No worries, Vita!

: As far as descriptions of women go - um, not sure that I would like to be referred to as a drink of water either!  Sounds a bit dull to me.  If I was a drink, I think that the best compliment you could give me would be to describe me as a glass of champagne - bubbly, ticklish, always at the big parties and enjoyed by people with smiles on their faces!  If I was to be described as a food, I would want to be a doughnut - round, soft and sweet inside!

: What would you be??!!
