You're absolutely right, Dee. I do live in an environment where tits,
breasts, and other words to describe the human body are not outright, and
immediately, derogatory or vulgar - only a certain context makes them so.

Dwight:

Let's try a little experiment that would serve to prove what you just said.
Sometime within the course of going about your daily duties, locate and
approach an attractive woman with a particularly voluptious bustline.
Say something like, "Hey, lady, I think you have a really nice set of
tits there!" Do not duck, cut and run, hold a police riot shield over your
face, or anything like that. Just stand there and take the consequences.
Bring a witness, then report back on what happens, if and when you
regain consciousness. (BTW, I don't recommend that you perform this
experiment on a woman who is escorted by a particularly large male
companion.)

Anyone care to speculate on what the outcome may be?

I don't think so. I don't know about you, but I don't go around
approaching strangers so I can comment about their breasts. However, during
the course of many conversations with female friends and associates over the
years, some of them have used the word "tits" and so have I in response.
Clearly, since the women led off with the use of that word, they obviously
were not offended by my use of it in response. Clearly, at lot of this
depends on the situation. With a stranger, if the subject even came up, only
the most polite words would be used. With a friend, more casual conversation
is acceptable. In my opinion, the woman always decides when that point is
reached.

I have many female friends and acquaintences, and I almost never hear
the word "tits" used to describe their breasts. "Boobs," yes, occasionally,
but not the "t" word. I digress; this is about Kim, the reason why she
requested her call sign, and the unfavorable image it projects on others
who are, or may be, involved in the ARS. As a woman who presumes to be
taken seriously as an intelligent, competent woman of the modern era, she
is, in actuality, setting herself and all other women back to the time
when they were mere objects of prurient interest. Or could it be that
she really wants to be seen that way? Unfortunately, the image is
objectionable in any context, and it's effect on the ARS has the potential
to be exactly as Mr. Hollingsworth predicted.

gee, and all this time I thought she took that callsign because TIT was
simple to send and had a nice rhythm in morse.

I'd hate to think what kind of sex oriented twist some folks might
place on my callsign and it's the original assigned to me by the FCC.

No problem or disappointment, my own obsessions don't run that way either.
but there are probably other minds out there that might react with a titter
(no pun intended) to a simple alpha-numeric identifier.

Are you kidding? I doubt she can even send Morse.

You don't have to send - just copy.

So how are you going to converse with another Morse station, assuming
you are in the CW portion of the band, if you don't send? Reread the
post, it was talking about sending.
