> It seems that once the flood gates were opened and the sexually connotated activities of men became more acceptable or just plain "done" by women as well.......women seemed to run with the issue and perhaps got a little out of hand.This is pretty much what I was going to say. Its reverse objectification. Its not neccessarily 'right', but I think its understandable. I think its womens way of striking out at being objectified for so long (not the penis cake itself, but reverse objectification in general).
I'm undecided as to how I feel about this. If men can do it, why shouldn't we? It is pretty liberating to turn the tables. And this behavior does seem to be releasing us from the shackles we've been in for so long. But if they were wrong in the first place, wouldn't we be wrong too?
And believe me, there are plenty of boob cakes out there. I think there would be more vagina ones except that it would probably be alot more difficult to create.
