I didn't know you'd changed blogs! But I've tracked you down.
ReplyDeleteRe: meeting me - I'm glad I came across as nice! I am nice, you know, but sometimes I come across unintentionally haughty. It was good to meet you, too.
Re: sexually obsessed culture - earlier post. God it's so fucking depressing. What's worse is that mainstream porn has shifted a lot in the last ten years or so - the women are far less likely to giggle like a Carry On girl and far more likely to wince, gag, flinch, grimace, whimper etc. It scares the hell out of me. All these young boys watching it because they're boys and they're horny and they're curious, and this is what's going to shape their sexualities.
There's not much outcry because most people think porn is liberating, rather than enforcing very old, very traditional ideas about the place of women
But it's there: http://www.oneangrygirl.net/antiporn.html is a really good, comprehensive site. Robert Jensen has written some great essays from a male perspective, and http://hugoschwyzer.net is really good too - he's Christian, but sane, compassionate, feminist, etc. He also rights about more personal aspects of feminism like interractions within marriage, etc.
And while we're on the random linkage, here is another of my favourite recipe sites is http://www.fatfreevegan.com/ - my kind of porn. Her blog is http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/
I've got both those vegan porn sites in my favourites:-)Unintentionally haughty?-not a bit of it, -I think they mean 'refined' or 'has manners'-both rate quite highly in my book:-)thanks for the links to anti-porn, you're right, Robert Jensen is sane...weird.
ReplyDeleteKeep well, more inflammatoy material sure to be spurted forth soon enough:-)
McKinley, people think I'm arrogant, so don't listen to the haters. My god, I just used comptemporary slang.
ReplyDeleteAnd Cath: eggs, buttermilk, and milk? What's the deal? Are you going vegetarian on me?
No sweetie, I 'veganised' the recipe (and it turned out brilliantly) No egg, tofutti sour cream and soy milk. Very rich but uber-yummy.
