 <title>New Feature: Sex Symbols</title>
 <link>http://sexinthepublicsquare.org/node/413</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m using this photo to inaugurate what I hope will be a cool new feature on Sex in the Public Square. It&amp;#39;s called &lt;i&gt;Sex Symbols&lt;/i&gt; (unless someone suggests a better name for it) and it&amp;#39;ll be an examination of material culture connected to sexuality, sex norms, gender roles, and so on. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d like this to have a fairly standard format so that it is recognized as a series across the site. The format could look like this: First a photo of the object (here it&amp;#39;s a t-shirt but it could be anything that is tangible), then &amp;quot;What&amp;quot; (a brief description) followed by &amp;quot;Where/when&amp;quot; (a brief note about where/when the object was found) and then &amp;quot;Why? Discuss!&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The idea is to talk about what these bits of culture mean, how we feel about those meanings, what kinds of competing messages are out there, and so on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Below is the first in the &lt;i&gt;Sex Symbols &lt;/i&gt;series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;align:&gt;&lt;/align:&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/files/u1/WalkofShameT.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Walk of Shame Tshirt&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; width=&quot;375&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sexinthepublicsquare.org/node/413&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
