glanton,
as far as emasculation goes, it's a subtle, insidious spiral. and amurica is well on its way. frankly, i don't really give a sh#t what amurica (ain't no flag waver) or anyone for that matter, chooses to do or say. so, feel free to wear a miniskirt, or a pink cowboy hat, etc (from another ST thread) at home and in public for that matter.
edit: and as far as "christianity" goes. like i said. "imo"(in my opinion)! ...reading comprehension, perhaps?
frankly, i just think it's a lame term. no matter who, male or female, uses it...period. stretching it a bit as far as it being PW, perhaps. but, lets just face it, sum of ya guys are well on yer way down the road to being PW!
CARPE DIEM (lol).

ok, comparing the term 'selfie' to being PW was a rather bad analogy. i think a better one would be (imo) it being a rather childish sounding term (except if your referring to 'giving' yourself a selfie, that is). childish as in, "Oh look at the selfie i took, mommy and daddy!"
alright, i think i'm/we're way to over analyzing the damn term. like it or leave it, it's here to stay. i just couldn't pass up the opportunity to tweak some of ya's male machismo...seems to have worked.
edit: btw, if ya do happen to have a pink cowboy hat that's laying around in yer closet somewhere, try one of the male enhancements to offset PW effects ya may be feeling.
this is a selfie the d00d took, btw!

DMT - hey, i agree.
i'm with Lemmy...
blue-jeans short-shorts (jorts), pink cowboy hats, miniskirts, selfies...it's all good.
in fact, i think i'm gonna wear a pink thong when i crush SB and take a selfie (simply to rub it in every ones face). defiance (bold & defiant)...doesn't have anything to do with being PW. but then, there are those who are simply PW. yada, yada...

^ Precisely!
But, welcome to ST thread drift. So, one last post...
ST (sum of ya) have become so predictable. This thread, for instance. The OP initiates a great thread, and on topic in fact (mountain photography which incorporates self into the photo) and it immediately morphs into thread drift whining about, not only the OP's choice of one simple word, but numerous others (BITD, etc). Cudda' been a good and challenging thread (improving ones own pics by becoming more creative then displaying them).
I clicked on this thread after the first couple of posts. It looked like it had potential. Then checked back some 40 posts later and found 80% of them whining about a damn word...typical!
So I played along (in an attempt to make a point). I went with absurd assumptions, and a bunch of dumb, neither here nor there, statements. "Selfie" is pussy-whipped. Males shouldn't use it. It's childish, etc! Some of you peeps are very gullible, btw!
It's a simple internet abbreviation that has slowly become mainstream. It has immediate recognition as to what one is referring to. That can be beneficial. Don't use it if ya don't like it. Who cares if someone else chooses to. Why make an issue of it? Have some respect for what the OP took the time to present to us. Start another thread about why your drawers are all up in a bunch over a simple word instead of trashing this one...give it a chance. Happens to thread after thread on this site.
edit: I do think 'selfie' is kind of a lame term. We all have our opinions. But so what.

I'm not a selfie taking or posting kinda guy. NTTAWWT, lol! Or maybe I'm just not as bold as Moosedrool, now that I'm an old fat fart bag of bones.
I have taken a few over the years. One I posted on the 'self pics' thread (or some other one) i think its still in my personal photos section here on ST.
So man up splitter... LOL!!!
I guess I set myself up for that, eh?
So give me a few minutes and I'll go outside and take another one. I'll be sure and make it a "bold & defiant" one. ;)

I don't consider myself to cower much when facing scary things....but that Lemmy dude, squicky big time PUCKER factor for me. I can smell the stale English Leather, old cigarette smoke and lack-of-shower standing in Mississippi humidity every time I see that pic.
It's a scratch and sniff gone way wrong.

"Herd." Flock u, L."
Why thank you, Mouse. How did you know I'm a huge fan of Dall Sheep? (Or did I misinterpret your meaning?) ;-)
Yes Anita, most of those photos have been photoshopped. To get a photo of the nighttime sky the way he did, you have to overexpose like crazy, or none of those stars in the Milky Way would show up.
When you overexpose for the dark sky, things like his headlamp would blow out the rest of the photo with light. It looks like he pieced photos together to achieve his effects.
As I said, some are quite beautiful and certainly unique...I'm just more a fan of the natural world. Thanks for posting this though...it is interesting.

here ya go, my "bold & defiant" selfie pic...
not sure how to post it upright (i'm a selfie posting n00b).
btw, "bold & defiant" - actually, i bought that hat at WALLMART (lol) before all the controversial hoopla broke out. i have a camo' Ducks Unlimited (world leader in wetlands & waterfowl conservation & identification, etc/plus, i like their duck paintings & carvings) hat that I'm rather fond of but can't seem to find. i happened to notice this one and bought it as a replacement a while back when i was in there to pick up a smartphone I had ordered online (been in the store maybe a dozen times over the past 20+ years/NTTAWT, imo). i've only watched part of a DD episode once when I stumbled upon it channel surfing (it was about teaching his daughter how to drive) i'm not a duck hunter & i wasn't aware that they were X'ians until all the hoopla hit. and (although i'm a believer) i don't agree with all of what the 'top duck' had to say (regarding blacks nor how he presented the gay sin issue) and so forth. so i'm not sure if i'll wear the hat anymore for those specific reasons. maybe to the next face lift, just to piss a few peeps off. ;)
 thanks L.
