A Savage Post, by Krista MacPherson

I was approached yesterday by someone I have quite a bit of respect for, considering our past. I found it to be quite a hostile approach at a subject that could have been talked about in a more calm and collected matter. For those of you who know me, when I'm faced with hostility, needless to say, I give it right back. Right? I know the people who

See my Facebook comment for my thoughts. Also, throw a shoe for me in response to this post as well.

That just reminds me of that Phoenix Wright video. XD

A whore? But you don't have sex for money.

In any case, regardless of how much you think about sex, there's nothing wrong with a woman who enjoys sex. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. If a male friend was acting that way, he probably would've never brought it up.

[pr0n5t4r]

Yeah, exactly... that's what gets me, too... good point on the not doing sex for money front, too.

Thanks, Lyndsay. =)

Posting images of yourself is seen as disrespectful of the man you're dating? No, what's disrespectful is to imply to a woman that she's just a subordinate extension -- property, even -- of any man in her life.

I've gone through a score of rewrites over the last hour trying to keep it civil, but it still makes me very angry. I'm sorry you had to deal with misogynistic crap like that. (Yes, this is the civil version. Grr...)

I think what made me so upset was the fact that I made sure my decision was consensual with both my mother and John, two very important people in my life right now. What really matters to me is their support and backing on this decision.

The pictures in question were "not art" by his standards. The retort of art being subjective wasn't reason enough for him, and he took it further by saying that more exposure to art will make a person come to understand that.

Another blow. That one kind of hurt... it makes me wonder if he knows I pose for students in the art college completely nude "for art purposes," and makes me wonder how he would feel about that. It's probably not art to his standards, either, sadly.

[ersatz_marduk]

Bah. If it provokes a reaction, it's art. He's just upset because it's art that happens to be readily accessible to the common viewer, making him a snob as well as an asshole. ;p

There's nothing wrong with creating the sort of art most people aren't going to understand, but that doesn't mean anything more accessible ceases to be art any more than a doctorate in mathematics means that basic arithmatic stops being math.

You are not degrading yourself. Why someone else is trying to degrade you by denying value in what you do or your right to decide things for yourself (with or without support) is... well, it speaks poorly of his character.

[pr0n5t4r]

Yeah.. good points. Thanks, Bob.. =)

John and I are thinking about going to Liquid Matrix probably either Monday or Tuesday. Would you like to come? =)

It's the thing to do on the internet today. Girl uploads provactive or suggestive-in-any-way pictures onto any internet site, so called know-it-all-internet-toughguy will call her a whore. I wouldn't think too much of it, other than a compliment that they think you look good. They always call the good looking ones whores.

Also, if you were so interested in sex all the time or being flirtatious to every guy, chances are you would have wanted to get your new xuxa a long time ago, instead of us constantly forgetting to go shopping for one.

[gurux]

Oh my, you just HAD to go and drag Xuxa into this.... LOL! :)

[pr0n5t4r]

Haha, but he's bringing up the point that Xuxa wasn't even on my mind for so long... proving how not important sex is, in a way. Further, you're right, Brent: if I wanted male attention sooo badly, why would I need a toy... lol.

For the record, I haven't used it yet, either... *Winces* But I may need it around exam time! XD

[gurux]

I know what Brent meant -- hence the smiley face (LOL)
