Dirty Sheets

Archive for August, 2009

So I’ve got this strange thing happening here in my head. Here’s how it goes:

– Filament Magazine needs more money so they can switch to a publisher who’ll print pictures of guys with erections.

– I have, in the past, not been terribly excited about Filament, due to the whole ‘let’s objectify everyone!’ thing.

– I watch porn. I like watching porn (or at least I like watching the good porn that I’ve found).

– If I could, I would start my own porn company that specializes in the kind of stuff that I find hot.

– Most people tend to agree that porn objectifies people. (I think sometimes yes, sometimes no. It depends.)

– So if I like/watch/want to create porn AND I do NOT like/want to objectify anyone… Why haven’t I been rendered incapable of coherent thought by the cognitive dissonance?

Maybe I’m a terrible feminist? Maybe I’m more flexible in my thinking than I first suspected? Maybe it’s just that I’m confused? It’s very strange.
