And even if I get off on watching these dynamics for some reason, I don't think I would if I had grown up with different porn. <br /><br />Also, I find your other comment 'don't do that much coke dumbass' devoid of compassion. The prostitution environment is conducive to drug use. So is the rock star lifestyle, with the difference that rock stars have people to help them.<br /><br />'Also, dang, having sex is not the worst thing that can happen to a woman. ' Well, it is still thought of (by the patriarchy) as very shameful to have been a porn star though.

Many of them apparently believed that experimentation and observation of reality was unnecessary - you could discover or solve anything on pure logic alone. Ignoring whether or not this is actually correct (unlikely, but not relevant to my point)... The flaw in this viewpoint is that the vast majority, if not all, humans are too biased to the conventions of the day and too limited in perceptions of time and space to be able to do this very effectively. If there were ever any super-genius philosophers who got everything right on logic alone, they were most likely maligned and forgotten due to their logic being too alien for most to comprehend.<br /><br />Sad to see that after over 2000 years of epic fail, some people are still at it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-17260190533125700982009-05-22T22:14:46.369-04:002009-05-22T22:14:46.369-04:00Lastnightsclothes - I think it's worse than intell...Lastnightsclothes - I think it's worse than intellectual laziness, I think that wacky academic settings sometimes breed the idea that the discursive metasubsupertext is the really smart impressive part, and looking at actual reality is a gauche, simplistic habit of the less enlightened.<br /><br />Greenearth - "Worksafe" also implies "not offensive or disgusting", and thus tells people that I'm not linking them to goatse or anything.Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-24213662786786875412009-05-22T21:51:12.486-04:002009-05-22T21:51:12.486-04:00Well, no, but I work in a middle school.Well, no, but I work in a middle school.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-24934903056330507422009-05-22T16:47:06.507-04:002009-05-22T16:47:06.507-04:00(worksafe)I wouldn't look at a website with the gi...<I>(worksafe)</I>I wouldn't look at a website with the giant heading "Pervocracy" at work.

Haha. I hate that crap. Fucking academics who think that, like, discursive formations & connotations of words are more important that what physically happens in the real world. & so they don't have to actually look at what happens in the real world. So intellectually lazy. (I should add, of course, that not all academics are like this.)<br /><br />Also, "experimental sex" sounds terrible.

That's the real violation--wanting something as selfish and crass as to put your penis in another human being. Everything else is just trappings and excuses.<br /><br />Strings - It's a little more subtle than that--they'd say (I actually saw this recently so I'm not entirely strawmanning here) that you're just doing that to feel like you're some big damn hero saving the day. The fact that you actually are doing good work is irrelevant--anything that makes a man feel good has got to be bad somehow.Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-55596119094973817482009-05-22T01:34:25.510-04:002009-05-22T01:34:25.510-04:00And how do they explain my volunteering as an advo...And how do they explain my volunteering as an advocate with the sexual assault resource center?
