Comments on: Feminism, Porn, and Love: In Consideration of the Whole Woman http://www.holisticwithhumor.com/feminism-porn-and-love-in-consideration-of-the-whole-woman Living Holistically means incorporating all aspects of yourself – your mind, body, spirit, community and environment.

It’s so odd sometimes. A couple perspectives I can offer are: 1- I went out one Halloween in full drag. I was a short man with a beard and I experienced so much privacy in public. Being a woman is so different and there is a level of privacy and respect that men live with that women can’t possibly understand/experience being women in the world. Not one stare or glance was cast my way and the waitress called me “sir.” Ha! 2- I watch the dirtiest porn I can and enjoy it. I know that there are things that go on with porno that are horrible and infuriating, but I still watch it. 3- Sometimes I think certain schools of thought in feminism are self defeating. We need to understand those perspectives to empower ourselves to move beyond them, but taking a victim mentality to heart can be very limiting. I really enjoyed this post. You always get me thinking.

I'm conflicted with so many of the same issues, I want to be sexy and I do everything possible to make myself feel so, and then on the other hand I'm disgusted by the attention from men. Everything seems like such a Catch 22. On another note, I totally understand the older man thing. Hah. Damn Christine, I love this post so much.
