getting better The day so far seems to be picking up. The ice sucks major ass, as I almost fell on mine walking into class, but other than the weather still being wonky I am doing ok. We spent most of one class discussing pedophilia and whether it is intrinsically wrong or whether that is all societal construction. of course everything is consrtucted but the question more or less boiled down to whether the power dynamic in adult-child sexual relationships is really that bad or if they really take advantage of little kids. personally, I liked the article in question because it was arguing that people should look at radical sexual relationships more for the treatment and feelings of the persons involved than the morality of the relationship itself, i.e. swingers, homosexuals, BD relationships but I will admit the issues become more complex with pedophilia. personally, I don't think it is right but drawing the line is kind of arbitrary and most people do shelther their children from normal sexual exploration too much. I am not advocating to fuck your kids, just to let them be kids and not yell your head off when you find them playing doctor, which you will inevitably do. the other good thing...I know, that wasn't so good...is that my grades are going up in that theory class. it looks like I might be able to walk out with an A- after all! i got some of the short papers back and they are in the low 90s, one a 95! My prof grades hard and I am glad to have made some progress with them, I only hope that she buys my thesis. oh yeah, if anyone wants to read my paper coming up titles "The Sacred Commodity: Why Won't Girls Just Put Out?" about why women cannot be sexually liberated. part of the reason I give is that we see sex as sacred, too good to openly sell, but a commodity in that we constantly exchange it with men for goods, services, and power in relationships. I swear it will be very interesting! I might also just post a copy up on here when I am done with it and subject you all to it...mwaaahahahaha!!! daphne |
