Seriously

Well, in another thread he was talking about stopping his jog to approach a group of children having an Easter party in a park. Even the easter bunny there told to kick rocks. Why this presumably grown man wanted a picture with a rabbit in a costume surrounded by kids is beyond my comprehension.

It is not rubbing its crotch on other bunnies or kids, parading around in suggestive outfits, nor speaking of things not appropriate for children. Nor does it demand to read books to my young children. Kind of what all things related to our kids should be. Innocent until ready to deal with the issues with the brain capacity to do so. And that age is not the same one as a third-grader.

Look, we already have a character in the other Easter Bunny thread who seems to have established that the Easter bunny is areligious and possibly even agnostic. But let's not take this too far. The Easter bunny is a sign of fertility just like the Easter egg. A sign of things coming alive again during Spring. I can handle even an atheist bunny but one that doesn't reproduce? No we don't have to show the rabbit copulating on a float down main Street. But what's the whole point of the rabbit symbol if not fertility?

I think the answer you are looking for might be found in the origins of the Easter mythology. For this reason I say female, after the (mesopotamian?) goddess Ishtar.

Eostre the Germanic Goddess for fertility is the more likely culprit. Mesopotamian roots were likely weeded out, from a cultural standpoint as the Jewish community was very Hellenized by the time of Jesus. And as Christianity moved more into Europe, that's where the Germanic roots of Christmas and Easter play a role as a means for conversion.

Have we as a nation really degenerated to the point that the sex of the Easter bunny is an actual topic of discussion?

Who sits around thinking twisted thoughts like this?
