Big event (or at least advertised)

[sealion]

Passing along some info about a big convention in London
International Cougar Convention in London
Press Release - International Cougar Convention, Sept 11, 2010, London, Will Crown Miss Cougar International

thought y'all londoners would be interested.

I'm not vouching for the quality of the event but someone might be curious to go.

So...it's a party and a sexist Miss World competition dressed up as a "convention"...but aimed at older women?

Nah.

I don't like the sound of this

The true older women spirit means that we should decide what happens, where it happens and who it happens to.

This is hardly breaking any taboos. We (many women posting to these forums including the private ones) see ourselves as pioneers not older replicas of what happens to younger women in society.

Older women feminists FTW

*Injecting controversy into the "convention"

I'll happily do a speech at the "convention" Rich, honey, if you're reading, outlining my opinions further

I actually think it's a good wake up call which shows that, unless we get our act together and unite as older women to shape societal ideas about us, there'll be nothing "pioneering" about older women and our sexual desires. We'll just be moulded and fitted into the existing concept of women as passive sexual objects rather than defining a new form of sexuality. Just older versions of the same old, same old.

And I *don't* think that's what younger men want. That's not what they say they want anyway. They say they look to older women for something different

And I think there's a difference between this site and the "convention" (what a euphemism!!) because some men might be looking for NSA sex here but we have an equal say in whether that happens or not. It sounds like this convention is on a different track entirely. If it had a mr cub (yuck!) crown or whatever instead of, or in addition to, then that has a different feel to it.

Well said Vita!

Aw poor Sealion, I'm sure he was just passing on some info that he thought might be of interest to some of us here!

[sealion]

yeah I don't know too much about it plus it's in London so I thought I'd put it out there. comments as to what it might be about are welcome (it's not about me after all!)
