chickenDan Savage announces in his column this week:
Attention Readers: Are you a straight woman who likes to watch gay male porn? Bret Fetzer, a writer and a friend, is working on a story about women like you. If you're up for talking about the why and wherefore, please contact him at bret@savagelove.net.

IMO it's kind of silly to write an article about why straight women like to watch gay porn -- it would be much more interesting to write about why women in general like to watch gay porn, and even more interesting to examine why so many lesbians like to watch it or read it, because to the casual observer, that might seem quite contradictory.
However I'm sure some of us can write to him even if we don't fit the "straight" label, and maybe enlighten the poor sod a bit!

Date: 2005-01-07 03:33 am (UTC)I really resent that, as an "intellectual" lesbian, JennyO would lump me in as part of her idiotic cabal, when in fact I disagree with almost everything she says (if by "says" we mean "blathers on endlessly"). I am a lesbian. I like to virtually lick my LJ friends. I like to read boyslash. I like femmeslash. I'll even read the occasional het. I think all my LJ friends should feel free to do the same, whether they be straight, bi, or lesbian, or even if they are men. Who fucking died and made JennyO the arbiter of people's LJ behavior and slash reading habits? Fucking get off your high horse, bitch. In spite of being myself sometimes at odds with a certain segment of bisexual poser girls, I still feel they all have a right to *lick* each other and read whatever slash they want to.

My lj is for fun and frivolous use only. Anything else would be way too much fucking work, and you know that is so not me.
