Bedtime Diaries May 10, 2010

There's some really crucial aspects of me that most people don't understand. I hope this video can clear up some of them.

I don't know why some folks think they can be cruel and mean to me without me saying a peep. Do I look like a carpet to you?

But there's a softer side of me, which I spoke about with Nuke and Womanwheart last night. It prompted me to do this video. It feels good to be understood and lately, all I've been is misunderstood.

My adult perspective is as such when it comes to all the stupid drama: In 5 years where will you be? Stuck on the stupid drama? Or will you have moved on with your life? It seems important now but in the grand scheme of things, it's not even remotely important.

What's done is done. There's no going back, but there is moving forward and that's what I'm doing.

Two Videos: One on Pornography and One for Deryk and Jedimasterbooboo

I haven't said much at all about my thoughts on Pornography and the Industry of Pornography. There's one particular place that informed me on what I already knew, but in better terms. This website is called Stop Porn Culture. This is the 45 minute video that I watched, that made things much clearer for me.

*** IT CAN BE TRIGGERING TO WATCH ***

Some of my biggest questions after watching that film are:

• What can be done to stop the exploitation of women as merely objects to be fucked?
• Where is the line between erotica and pornography? Is it mutuality, agency and intimacy?
• What responsibility does the pornography industry have with regard to young boys accessing it on the internet and elsewhere?
• Why do many men get angry when confronted with anti-pornography positions?
• Is it because they see the issue as an 'inferior' feminist issue?
• Or is it truly a human rights issue? Is there even a difference?

THE SCENE FROM THE L WORD:

The next video is to support and show affection for two of my friends: Deryk aka SardonicSkeptic and Theresa aka Jedimasterbooboo and TheLazyEvangelist.

Deryk: You've supported me throughout all the false flagging and you're one of the only people I email privately outside YouTube. Thank you so much for being there for me.

Theresa: We've been friends and sisters for a while now. I support you and am there for you to talk with if you ever need to.

I get by with a little help from my friends...
