So from the comments on several threads, it seems many are waiting with baited breath for the shit storm to start over the MSNBC porn ad. Well, this gal, for one, isn't going to start it. Au contraire - what a treat! Usually I have to go all the way over to
Panadagon to get my "porn liberal" dose for the day. But today, oh today! Before I've even had my first sip of tea I get an eyeful of pink, curvy, anonymous bosom lady on dailyKos - and she followed me to every other liberal blog I frequent.
I'm guessing that the point of the actual MSNBC piece is "porn - it ain't just for pervy Uncle Lou anymore." It's all mainstream and junk, and even
*gasp* the women folk are getting off on it. I'm not going to argue with anyone who wants to rant about how degrading to women porn can be. Chances are, I agree with you. But being a rabid First Amendment advocate, my remedy of choice is adding more voices/perspective to the dialogue rather than silencing the horrible, icky, demeaning ones. We need more porn BY women, FOR women, is what I say (or bi-women, four women if you prefer. Come to think of it, bi-men, four men would be nice, too).
But if the gist of the news piece is indeed about women's consumption of teh pr0n, I have to wonder why I wasn't treated with the sight of a neon beefcake bum instead.
*shakes fist*
Damn dirty double standard.
