Daylight Savings Time!

Yay, extra hour of sleep, means there's an Erin awake and ready to blog! Except for the part where I am still exhausted besides do a whole lot of not much last night. I have refound Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and let me tell you it is going to consume my life. I am already part way through the fifth season, I started with the fourth season last week. But let's be honest, it's so addictive.

Anyway I am clearly failing at this daily blogging business. But it's ok. I have been having thoughts and good excellent conversation.

I am writing a paper about the intersection of pornography and feminism for my 10 page final paper and I am finding it fascinating. I have never thought that porn was wrong or evil or shameful. I mean, it isn't something that I watch, but I always assumed that most people did. I think that because women are so often told not to be sexually active, just to look sexy, that an outlet which shows women actively engaging in sex can be positive and good for people to know about. I know porn isn't the most realistic, but as long as people recognize that it shouldn't be a problem. I watch plenty of movies and tv shows that aren't exactly realistic. Like, I don't assume that there are vampires outside my dorm window just because I watch Buffy all the time. So people should know better than to assume that life is like a porno and I think that most people do. I do recognize that a good chunk of porn supports the patriarchy in that it is men dominating women and that can be harmful, or it can also be separated from reality and recognized as something that is a kink or a sexual act that doesn't have to leave the bedroom.

My professor says that we're not writing argument papers. It makes me kind of sad. I have a strong desire to make a powerful argument for porn. I wonder if I will have to watch porn to do this paper. I doubt it.

I should get back to reading about objectification. Again, yes I know. So much objectification.
