Feminists

and i would love the opportunity to say, clearly and with precise words that matter. because i am picking my words for specific meaning.

i think a woman has the right to make her choices, too. absolutely. no quibble and seesawing on that at all. i am emphatic, that women have that right.

i have been known to talk about prostitution, stripping and porn. you never hear me say they do not have the right to do it. what i do discuss is the effects on society, our men, our women, our children. our society. i understand there are all kinds of reasons a woman will make these choices. all of who she is, is not this choice. not even a part of who she is, is these choices. it is something she does, not who she is.

i really wanted to clear that up.

the beauty pageant? the only issue i had in that whole thing was men putting a number on that woman. and what pissed me off most was a couple of the asshole men who gave her a low number. and was a real who the fuck are you, to put a number on this woman, like this. that .... is what pissed me off.

the only other comment i made was..... yea, a gay woman broke that ceiling.

but that is where the importance of what you are doing, is. we have to actually listen. and instead of saying, they are anti porn, or anti stripper..... understand the grey of the issue. that it isnt about the individual and the choices made, but the reality of the effects on our society that we are discussing. the argument we will always have is it is not taking a choice away and really, not judging that person, though i know that is a really tough concept people will not accept. my position is not being quiet about how it effects us all.

so, how is this, fun? i think so. i see wonderful opportunity. in differing views, that may not be that different. or maybe they are.
