- I refuse to commit my thoughts on The Office finale to this journal.
- Turned in my application to Kohl's today. Hopefully, it will be beneficial.
- Also got a bunch of grad school papers in the mail. Yay mommy. Filling them out and will turn them in soon. Wooo.
- And now for some potentially offensive discussion:


This was posted on [livejournal.com profile] fandom_secrets today, not by me.



Thoughts? No wank please.

Interesting... I have that thought sometimes. Mostly... I don't know. I find that the most banal thing will take off as long as two very pretty boys have the potential of being slashed. It doesn't bother me, but it's totally not the same for girl pairings. I know the arguments (straight girls want to read/write about boys, etc.), but I don't always buy them completely.

I agree with the secret so I'm not offended. I feel that you write whatever the fuck you wanna write and whatever you feel turns you on, so if you're into yaoi/guy-on-guy action so be it. Write/read it to your heart's content. Just don't shudder at the though of femslash, its obvious counterpart. To each her own, people. Embrace the vagina.

Girl porn (unless your writing it) is never especially hot.

I don't necessarily think they're in denial about their gender (depending on what, exactly, that person means by in denial) but I think there is a lot of female hatred in these likes and dislikes which people don't even notice because it's on such an unconscious level it's practically invisible to them. So they say things like, "Oh, there are no interesting female characters" or "I just like boys, thanks" and that's not actually all that's going on beneath the surface.

Also, I love that picture.

Maybe not denial, but self hate at some level for sure. It always really upsets me.

Is it too late to comment on this?

Just so you know, I started writing a really long response to this and it's already on page two of word. It's made me think a lot and I'm trying to sort all the rambling back out so it sounds clear, but I'll let you know when it's done. ;)

I have a lot to say, and I'll probably edit over and over again to make sure it makes sense, and that I don't say something I don't really mean. I've never had to put words to my opinion on this before (I didn't know I had an opinion in the first place), but I want to share it with you. I might wind up emailing you a paper later.
