Nipple liberation
Iâm wondering whether I should lend my support to the âFree the Nippleâ movement. In principle, Iâm wholly in favour of liberating enslaved nipples so they can live their lives in comfort and dignity. However, the leader of the campaign is a young lady called Kendall Jenner, who appears to be completely out of her depth. When given the opportunity to speak out on the issue, she said.
âLately, it's like I'm either braless or I have my bra out. I'm all about freeing the nipple.â
This was a very poor statement. She seems to think that allowing people to see the outline of her own nipples is the answer to everything. What about the average woman who has a regular job and is forced to keep her nipples under lock and key? The long campaign against slavery wasnât won by Abraham Lincoln boasting about his own freedom and refusing to pick cotton. He had to fight a war and sign proclamations and do other stuff.
In my perplexity, I resorted to asking the manager of the safari camp what the Free Nipplers really wanted.
âTheyâre feminists,â he explained. âThey want to have the right to drive men nuts by exposing their own nipples without letting anyone touch them.â
âBut wonât men have the right to expose their nipples too?â I asked.
âNot the same thing,â he replied. âOur nipples arenât as big and they donât squirt milk. No one cares if they are visible.â
âWell, maybe you should pretend you donât care about seeing a womanâs nipples,â I suggested.
âI could pretend, but my eyes would give the game away,â he said. âTheyâre like smart cameras programmed to zoom in on them.â
I thanked the manager for his opinion, but I donât believe he speaks for most men. He must have some kind of udder fixation that makes him unusually agitated in the presence of a female nipple. Perhaps he was suckled by an enormous wet nurse when he was a baby. What I donât understand is why this campaign is viewed as a feminist issue. The Suffragettes never demanded the right to expose their nipples or wear wet t-shirts. The cause of nipple freedom may be just, but it wonât be helped by making bogus assertions.
If the Free Nipplers want to be taken seriously, the first thing they should do is fire Kendall Jenner as their spokesperson. Although sheâs a comely lass with decent nipples, she clearly isnât up to the job of leading a mass movement. The next step would be to broaden their campaign to include a full range of nipple rights for all mammals. Dairy cows, for example, are compelled to have their udders sucked dry by ugly pumping machines. This is a far graver injustice than suffered by human females. Lastly, they should stop trying to humiliate men by implying that the male nipple is irrelevant. You canât demand rights for yourself while acting as if others donât matter.

King Kong: a reassessment
Long-standing readers of this blog will be aware of my disdain for King Kong. I have a number of issues with that overgrown ape. First, that he stomped around his native jungle making a hullabaloo instead of foraging and fornicating like a proper gorilla. Second, that on escaping from captivity in New York City, he created havoc and climbed a skyscraper instead of making a beeline for the nearest forest. But third, and worst of all, that he fell head-over-heels in love with a human female, needlessly endangering himself to keep her in his hairy clutches. I hope I am stating the obvious in pointing out that real gorillas do not behave in this way. And those that did would flee to a barren rock to die of shame.
One of our human guests at the annual simian convention was a young American chap who told me he had recently graduated from the New York Film Academy. In spite of wearing a baseball cap back-to-front, he seemed quite knowledgeable for an American, so I invited him to parley with me on the King Kong question.
âYouâve got it all wrong, GB,â he said after listening patiently to my critique. âKing Kong wasnât in love with Ann Darrow. She was just a plaything who amused him by scampering about like a mouse and hollering at him whenever he tripped her up. Sure, he loved her, but in the same way that Long John Silver loved the parrot on his shoulder. It wasnât a romantic thing.â
âThatâs an interesting theory,â I mused. âIâd love to believe it, but answer me this: why did he risk his life to protect her?â
âPeople get very attached to their pets,â he replied. âHumans have often risked their lives to save their dogs. Remember Dorothy and Toto in The Wizard of Oz? Couldnât a gorilla develop the same feelings for a pet woman?â
After considering the matter, I was forced to concede the point.
âThank you for sharing your perspectives, young Sir,â I said. âYou have marshalled your arguments well and given me food for thought.â
Plausible though his theory may be, it does not significantly elevate my opinion of King Kong. His infatuation might have resembled what humans feel for a kitten, but it was certainly a foolish one in the circumstances. Love-struck he may not have been, but sentimental ninny he certainly was.
If a nubile woman turned up on my doorstep in a helpless state, I would extend her every courtesy, but treat her in a formally correct way. The horseplay that occurred between Mr Kong and Miss Darrow would be out of the question until our relationship had progressed to a higher level. I would not endanger my life for her until we were bosom buddies, at the very least.
To the Ann Darrows of the world, I say this: Gorilla Bananas wonât bathe you under a waterfall until youâve earned his affection. It might take a good fortnight to butter me up sufficiently.

Beastly events
Apparently thereâs been a werewolf sighting in the north of England. The creature is said to be eight feet tall with dog-like features and a bad breath problem. A traumatised woman made the following statement:
âIt was stood upright one moment. The next it was down on all fours running like a dog. I was terrified.â
The British press have named the werewolf âOld Stinkerâ, which is a foolishly provocative jibe to make while the beast is still running at large. Admittedly itâs unlikely that the creature reads newspapers, but why take a chance? A werewolf with a grudge is less likely to keep its fangs to itself than a werewolf without one. Calling it names will only make it more difficult to achieve a negotiated solution involving mouthwash and a manicure.
Biologists have been quick to dismiss these werewolf reports as a case of mistaken identity, fuelled by fantasy and hyperactive brains. âOld Stinkerâ, they insist, must be an oversized dog. I suppose itâs possible that Scooby Doo could have been confused with a werewolf, especially after Shaggy had jumped into his lap. But I donât respect scientists who pooh-pooh eyewitness accounts without doing the necessary detective work. They should be conducting field trips and collecting dung samples before jumping to conclusions.
Is it true that women have sexual fantasies about werewolves? Itâs what all the werewolf movies imply. I remember a film called Wolf starring Jack Nicholson, who somehow got transformed into a creature of canine appearance. It made him behave like a hungry sex fiend intent on leaving his bite marks in a womanâs fleshy parts. Yet I donât believe that a hound-like animal is a natural bedfellow for the human female. His teeth may be sharp, but his tongue does not probe with the required finesse. And doing it doggy-style gets boring after a while.
If a werewolf wants a mate, it really ought to be a female werewolf, who could match him bite-for-bite. Strangely, you never hear stories about lady werewolves. These days, most women are desperately keen to shave off their body hair, so the idea of turning into a furry bitch would probably horrify them. Nevertheless, there are some women who have the right personality for the role, with many of them keen to advertise their talents.
Itâs been a long time since I visited the website of a dominatrix, so Iâm glad to have an excuse to do so now. Sadly, I never provoked any of these viragos to leave a comment on this blog. In truth, their writing skills are not of the highest order, so you probably havenât been deprived of any exquisite quips or bon mots. Nevertheless, if I do manage to strike up a friendship with someone like Mistress Tatiana, I promise to move heaven and earth to make her agree to an interview, which I shall publish in full for your enlightenment. Who knows, I might even persuade her to give her body hair a chance to sprout.
