I "felt up" this blog entry.

You know what annoys me? Blogs/sites that review gadgets with the words/phrases "groped" and "felt up." Like we "felt up" the Helio Drift. Or we "groped" the Palm Treo 650. Yeah I know they're inanimate objects, but it still annoys me. Also, I'm sorry, but the boob mousepad has no redeeming quality whatsoever (even though I still appreciate the humor, I just find it in poor taste).

There's a lot more that I want to rant about when it comes to being a feminist in the a male dominated field. For one thing, that unlike certain women, I am extremely accommodating of things like pornography and blonde jokes, which have made a lot of men feel very safe around me. Which, unfortunately, have resulted in them feeling like they can say crap like "Oh, it's probably her time of the month" in front of me.

But that's the problem with being a woman in a field like this. No woman can represent all women. I consider myself a feminist, but like I said, I'm accommodating of pornography, I think dick and fart jokes are hilarious, I think it's fine for men to go to strip clubs, I think the stereotypical straight male fascination with lesbian and threesome relations understandable, I see nothing wrong with Girls Gone Wild videos (except for the sleazebag that runs the operation), and I support sex worker rights. I support fishnet stockings and low-cut shirts, I support the overt expression of female sexuality, and I support the heterosexual male appreciation of all of it.

But damn it all when there are some people who dare to interpret this sexuality as sluttiness (and not the good kind) and damn it all when some people go beyond hooting and hollering to groping and touching. Do women "ask for it" when they're so overtly open about their sexual lives? Hell no.

Also damn it all that not all feminists can see eye to eye. There are other brands of feminism that look down on things like pornography and strip clubs. There are brands of feminism that seek to demonize men. There are brands of feminism that think EVERYTHING is okay, even the groping and the touching, as long as they get to make the call. There are both prudes and harlots in the feminism pool, and most women are hesitant to choose sides. I'm sure this is as confusing to men as it is to women.

Some 130 years after women suffrage and we're still having this problem. Unbelievable.

I'll see about adding to this once I get some sleep.
