I found this on Dawn Eden's blog,The Dawn Patrol I was intrigued b y the phrase "Porn Conservatives" So I read. It was a delightful piece (pauses for the groans from the unintended double entendre pun). It is bad enough that conservatives are viewed as either sexist or misogyinstic ("woman-haters" for those of you in Swansea, SC).
Nobody enjoys the image of a lovely woman more than me. But when you engage in a conversation with said woman, is your thought along the lines of a)I wonder what she thinks about...; or, b)I wonder if she thinks; or, c)I wonder what she looks like in [insert "nude" or favorite fetish wear here]. Hopefully "a" comes somewhere early on. Sadly, more often than not it's "b", "c" or some combination of the two.
Which brings me back to "Porn Conservatives". As long as we are perceived as thinking of women with zero respect as to their thoughts, we can pretty much forget about being taken seriously by many women in the moderate area of the socio-political spectrum. And please don't cite the obvious examples of Whoppie "cushion" Goldberg (see, Whoopie, we can be pseudo-clever with people's names too) Susan Sarandon and Babs Streisand. They will continue to think as they always have. fact is I know a few extreme conservatives who are just as bad vis a vis being closed-minded as well as being wrong.
