Don’t yuck someone else’s yum – everyone deserves the freedom to explore their own sexuality free of shame and stigma. 🫶 pic.twitter.com/zd5USj9y0d

I don’t like the use of baby talk — "yuck"/"yum" — in speaking about sex (other than in intimate private discussions), especially from a serious organization that is aiming to squelch other people's speech.
I associate baby talk with children, so PP is immediately calling to mind one of the exceptions to the proposition that "everyone deserves the freedom to explore their own sexuality." Pedophiles don't have that freedom.
Aside from the babyishness of "yuck"/"yum," there's the way it puts everything in terms of instinctive taste. Well, you can't argue with taste, they say (often in Latin). But that doesn't mean that everything about which people have tastes is beyond discussion.
There could be a food I like the taste of and you dislike the taste of that happens to be fattening, carcinogenic, or produced by slave labor. You don't have to argue that actually it tastes bad to talk about those other things. Maybe you should shut up about all of it to let me enjoy myself, and the fact that your enjoyment is not at stake should make you question your motivations. Are you a peevish killjoy? But maybe you are trying to help me or to help others who I might be harming.
I would avoid the saying "Don’t yuck someone else’s yum" and substitute something more appealing to the intellect: Don't let disgust replace reason. That's a piece of advice that extends beyond the topic of sex. I mean, look what's happening:
“Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book."

Jack White is weird, so I am happy to be disgusting to such a whacked out jack wagon. I love how Progressives think that going along with a corrupt government is sane behavior. Maybe THEY should look in the mirror and see what America sees... Craziness.
"I was afraid that if told you what was in this dish, you wouldn't even taste it."
"a serious organization that is aiming to squelch other people's speech"
Serious about the squelching, yes. About that, progs are always dead serious.
"Pedophiles don't have that freedom."
Not yet. But that's part of what this bit of battle space prep is about.
"But that doesn't mean that everything about which people have tastes is beyond discussion."
True, but depends on the meaning of "discussion."
"Don't let disgust replace reason."
Replace does a lot of work here, as they say in the humanities.
"Don’t Yuck My Yum" would've made a great White Stripes album title.
I know of everybody in this announcement - except Jack White.

How is it possible that the likes of Jack White could turn Donald Trump into a sympathetic figure? It's alchemy. They've taken a leaded figure and by some strange mideviel chemistry that has gotten away from them he turns up golden. Everytime. Through indictments, through impeachments and dirty political tricks beyond the pale.
It's almost...inspirational.
It's unsurprising that this message is presented by Planned Parenthood. They're all in with discouraging reproduction.
Freedom to explore? Sure. That's the nice thing about privacy. Do other people have to hear about it? If you think that to be true, why?
Once planned parenthood accomplishes it's mission, only adults will speak in baby talk.
Pedophiles don't have that freedom.
Yet. That’s what the fight is all about, madam Professor.
See ‘virtue that goes public’ quote.
What about flashers? They seem to get off on surprised and forced reaction forced on unprepared recipient. Similarly sending unsolicited photos of one's genitals?
There's taste, and then there's appetite. Perversions aren't a matter of taste.
Perversion. I used to avoid that word. When I was young and dumb I found it embarrassing. Now I'm older and a bit less dumb, and the world has justified the word.

Disgust is an emotion. When did you switch sides on the emotion versus reason debate?
Who is Jack white? Is he Jack Black's evil twin brother?
Jack White?! THE Jack White?! The guy who's absolutely certain that circa 1989 he was the first person in history to ever take an old blues song, speed it up, fiddle with it a bit and rerecord it; thereby creating what would forever be known as Rock n' Roll?!!! That Jack White?!
Perish the thought!
Jack White is a great musician who I admire very much, from a musical standpoint.
But apparently he's also a complete idiot. Like a Keith Olberman level idiot.
Oh well.
That is truly the worst bit of lip-syncing and pretend playing I have ever seen. Were they taking the piss, flipping the finger at the viewers? After all, the Ohio Express was not really an actual group, but a name applied to various recordings played by studio musicians.
To be fair, Guy Fieri does not have to be a Trump supporter to be revolting to persons of rational mind.
Don't yuck someone's yum? Don't have an opinion on a fundamental issue of life? How about don't yuck my yum of having opinions? Opinions are delicious.
That isn't the version of "Yummy" that I remember--or my memory is really faulty.
Why didn't PP throw in the poo emoji, drug paraphernalia, and a scalpel?
Planned Parenthood epitomizes NGO mission creep. With birth control and abortion so widely available that their mission is obviously accomplished, PP now takes on the scourge of loverly unwillingness to jump onto the Krafft-Ebing bandwagon. Lovers of pain and poop, rejoice!
The rest of us, not so much.
So who's doing all this kink shaming they're so worried about? I don't see it.
For example, according to my sources, we are right now living in a golden age for those who enjoy unapologetically jambing enormous, reasonably priced, readily available specialty products up their asses.
There is more shame and negative stigma focused those who regularly attend church these days than to any kind of sexual preference or practice short of pedophilia.
Jack Whites 15 minutes was over 20 years ago.
He's back to being that weird dude down the street.
"Don’t yuck someone else’s yum" or "Don't fuck someone else's bum"
I don’t like the use of baby talk — "yuck"/"yum" — in speaking about sex (other than in intimate private discussions), especially from a serious organization that is aiming to squelch other people's speech.
Yuck/Yum = Bad.
Yuck/Yuck = Good.
He can play no lie.
He's also gotta make money, and Trump-ranting's a quick way to stay relevant.
Hence the pub and the post.
Jack White is a legend in his own mind. I remember a few years back watching a program that had White, “The Edge” (U2), and Jimmy Page on… examining their techniques and abilities.
White and the Edge guy did not fare well.
Guy Fieri: the likable guy with the wild lesbian firefighter haircut.
I think this is aimed at young women. The message is if your boyfriend/spouse/hookup partner wants to do violent and degrading things to you, you need to shut up, lie back and think of planned parenthood. Otherwise, you're a kink shamer. If you object to a man dressing in women's clothing and staring at women in the locker room, you need to shut up, otherwise, you're a kink shamer. If you object to a man taking a cocktail of drugs to "breast feed" a baby so he can feel fulfilled as a woman, you need to shut up, otherwise you're a kink shamer.
How do we know transwomen are men? No one would listen to them if they were actually women.
Disgust is the ground of reason. Derrida, Economimesis
Another great Altism (Althousism, Atlthism?).
I did a quick internet search on "Don't let disgust replace reason." And somehow althouse.blogspot.com is the only hit.
How does he feel about Pedo Pete?
This calls to mind these advertisements (and stickers!) from my youth.

Back in the 1980s it was totally appropriate to "Yuck someone's Yum."
“Should we chide Jack White for yucking Joe Rogan's yum?”
I’m sure Rogan is is deeply, deeply hurt.
The jump is a tool for telling without necessarily showing.
I like the retritrocity… I don’t think that’s a word but it ought to be.
To be fair, Guy Fieri does not have to be a Trump supporter to be revolting to persons of rational mind.
Cook is certainly entitled to his opinions, although it's hard to see his point in this case. From a tv performance perspective, Fieri has the remarkable ability to make the most ordinary sweaty t-shirt-wearing diner cook in Paducah look like a 2 star Michelin chef and have folks around the world swarm to western Kentucky to try out the food at the place. Making an honest effort to see Cook's point, I don't see anything about Fieri that would reasonably be 'revolting'.
Now, Alec Baldwin on the other hand......

PP, the ACLU, the Sierra Club, most universities. They've all gone off the Progressive deep end. To say nothing of Rolling Stone. But once you discard tradition, reason, logic, standards, and discipline all you have left is foolishness.
Ohio Express, Ohio Players, I always get them mixed up.
I’ve often read that a lot of the cutesy jargon of groups like the ohio express was double entendre for drugs and sex.
"That isn't the version of "Yummy" that I remember--or my memory is really faulty."
Yes, that's it, the original hit. Sounds just as I recall it. Perhaps you heard and remember a cover of the song by another artist.
Krumhorn,
Fieri is a talented and effective television performer. I enjoy watching his show where he visits restaurants around the nation. I'm referring to his oft-reported off-screen behavior. He is reportedly an egotistic asshole, rude, petulant and abrasive.
Jack White was a good musician for awhile but hasn’t put out anything good for over a decade. The talent eventually fades just like athletic talent.
Last I heard he owned a baseball bat company.
Sounds like he has to come up with a rant to keep relevant.
"everyone deserves the freedom to explore their own sexuality." Pedophiles don't have that freedom.
Yea...about that.
Those with law degrees here, can explain how a 13 year old has the agency to consent to gender surgery, but cannot consent to sex with adults?
pedophile's inquiring gentiles want to know.
If you want a full blast of the 'yuck/yum' experience, try mentioning that you enjoy light beer.
This post brought back 2 vivid memories from my childhood. When I was in Junior High School, my older sister in high school worked as a waitress in a diner called the Dew Drop Inn. I swear that was the real name. It was a really cool classic diner, with stools at the counter, booths, and a great jukebox in the corner. Sort of like Happy Days. I would often stop by after school and order a root beer float, and she would add a lot of extra ice cream to the float, and I would give her a good tip from my paper route. One of the most popular songs that the kids played on the jukebox was "Yummy, yummy, yummy I have love in my tummy." I will never forget that. The other thing, which was not so cool, was that in the morning a bunch of the local retired old farmers would come into the diner and order coffee, and then stay there for 2 or 3 hours and gab and gossip forever. After serving them 4, 5 or even 6 cups of coffee they would then leave her a 5 cent tip. She hated that. Even to this day when I see a bunch of old farts gathered in a cafe talking and gossiping for hours on end, I think of this. Old men can be worse gossips than old women.
In an old "Simpsons" episode a young Homer is depicted as a very shallow fellow, by having him ignore Neil Armstrong's momentous announcement... "That's one Small Step..." in favor of singing along to "Yummy Yummy Ymummy" blasting through ear phones on his Walkman.
It works.
Apparently Rogan, Wahlberg, Gibson and Fieri don't get to sit with the cool kids at lunchtime anymore.
I'm sure they are devastated.
Robert Cook, the Ohio Express was indeed a real band from Mansfield, Ohio. The guy singing lead is still performing a couple of nights a week. Although he mostly sings backup and plays the bass.
"Those with law degrees here, can explain how a 13 year old has the agency to consent to gender surgery, but cannot consent to sex with adults?"
For all those who keep harping on this, I'm curious: how many 13 year olds (or under 18 year olds) actually have had or are having gender surgery? Are there any hard stats on that? I hear the objections to minors having gender reassignment surgeries--objections with which I must agree--but to what extent are the objections based on reality? (There is a great difference between counseling or even in approving hormone treatments for minors and approval for actual surgical transitions.)
"Robert Cook, the Ohio Express was indeed a real band from Mansfield, Ohio. The guy singing lead is still performing a couple of nights a week. Although he mostly sings backup and plays the bass."
From Wikipedia:
"The Ohio Express is an American bubblegum pop band formed in Mansfield, Ohio, in 1967.[1] Though marketed as a band, it would be more accurate to say that the name 'Ohio Express' served as a brand name used by Jerry Kasenetz's and Jeffry Katz's Super K Productions to release the music of a number of different musicians and acts. The best known songs of Ohio Express (including their best scoring single, "Yummy Yummy Yummy") were actually the work of an assemblage of studio musicians working in New York, including singer/songwriter Joey Levine. Other recorded 'Ohio Express' work included material recorded by an early group of Joe Walsh, as well as a later single written and sung by Graham Gouldman (which was performed by the four musicians who would later be known as 10cc).
"A band previously known as Sir Timothy and the Royals was renamed 'The Ohio Express' and hired to promote the singles by appearing at all live performances. This is the same group photographed on the record covers."
