RSSSTFU, Conservatives: emma-re replied to your post: whenbirdsattack asked: It’s funny...
It’s funny because a lot of conservatives make a huge deal about Obama’s childhood and don’t let him get off with the excuse “he was just a kid/teenager”. But of course, it’s okay to use that excuse for Romney.entwizzlereplied…

I could talk about how I downloaded this great app of poses for artists and have been practicing my skills and technique, but let’s face it, I just wanted to draw a nice ass. And a lot of tattoos. And a five-legged great dane puppy. Because obviously.
OH MY STARS this is GORGEOUS.

TN State Rep. John Ragan recently sponsored a “license to bully” bill that protects thugs who want to verbally harass LGBT people based on “religious and moral grounds.”

Sex education should focus not just on the mechanics of heterosexual sex and how to keep it safe – important as these are – but on varieties of sex. Sex between girls, sex between boys; the importance of enthusiastic consent – in effect, discussion of how to have good sex rather than just safe sex. The fact that girls as well as boys enjoy sexual activity is important to emphasise. I’ll never forget overhearing a conversation on a bus where a boy was asking a female friend of mine, both around 18, why girls masturbated. That alone demonstrates to me the need for better education.

It’s highly flawed to talk about the impact of “pornography” on young people as if it were a monolithic entity. Of course there is some porn which contributes to the general objectification of women in visual media. Some porn is misogynistic, tasteless and dehumanising. But to tar all sexually explicit content with the same brush shows a woeful ignorance of what’s out there. A lot of porn is pro-woman; even more is pro-human, quite simply a celebration of real human sexual expression without any strong bias either way.
