Which is why my ass fell asleep at the Ween show last night. Hey, when you've slept through an air raid, a rock concert is so not a problem.
Not blogging about this:
Or this: Women Account for Hefty Portion of Web Porn Viewing:
Jane Juffer, an assistant professor of women's studies at Pennsylvania State University, devotes part of a class on feminist media studies to women and pornography."It's a misconception that porn ruins relationships or is only for men in trenchcoats," said Juffer, author of "At Home With Pornography: Women, Sex and Everyday Life." Juffer concedes that pornography often degrades women, but called it "a potentially positive thing," especially when "directed at couples, providing more information for a better sex life."
While the fact that Juffer teaches about pornography is a sign of growing social acceptance, she said many of her students "still think porn is for men and porn is bad."
If more pornography sites were made with women in mind, they would feel more comfortable, Juffer said.
Because I'm not really capable of that whole coherent thoughts thing right now. Do think that last one could have named Scarleteen, but this might be the sleep deprivation talking. You can always tell. It makes fewer typos.
I'm just gonna do my laundry, take my vitamins and say my prayers.
Oh yes, and sleep.
ok... i'm not sure what you're trying to say with the last few paragraphs / scarleteen thing, but i'm going to agree with what the lady is trying to say. i've been a member at suicidegirls {http://suicidegirls.com} for almost 2 years now, and i've noticed that a lot of women are members there, some that aren't always attracted to the sort of woman modeling for the site, some not even attracted to women... i think a lot of it has to do with how the models and female members are treated on the site. less objectification {though it was will always accompany any sort of porn, soft or hardcore} ... more open, i guess? oh dear, now it's occurred to me that i am tired too and not making a lot of sense.
but, yeah.
Inez, sorry, sleep deprivation also makes my usual obscurity even worse. Just meant that since the author of the article mentioned that the pornographer he interviewed runs a site "focusing on sex education for teens," that he could'a said the name of it.
I was just trying to avoid getting my ass kicked.
Bad enough I included the Tori Amos graphic. . .
Well, in for a penny. So. Suicide Girls, huh? How's that working for you?
I don't have a problem with porn at all, but that's probably because I like naked men so much.
Ah. Well, can't help you there, love. No naked men on this site. Except the once. And there were complaints about the non-work-safiness of it all.
Where are all the rape sites for women? If it is OK for men to fantasize about raping women, it should be just as OK for women to fantasize about raping men. If rape sites don't cause people to rape, there should be no concern about women viewing them. Porn will be equal when you have the same kind of websites for women as men. Women also want to see men not women. Thank God for female domination sites.
. . .
Did I mention the hiatus?
There were complaints?! Danged party-poopers.
