I say. They're allowing a loose woman to speak on the Internet? Horrors! Next they'll be allowing people to congregate on the rectum of the Internet and spew vile racist, sexist invective in the name of "trolling!"

Oh. Wait.

"...she thinks we should all openly have something extra on the side."

But we all should have something extra on the side. I believe I'll have this baked potato with butter, sour cream, cheddar, chives, and bacon.

@no never nonsense: But the bacon and cheese isn't on the side! I'm confused. What's on the side, what's not? How am I supposed to keep track of all of these mixed metaphors? Maybe you're not even TALKING about bacon, maybe it's a euphemism for something. Like gay sex, as clever.username was talking about!

Is it clear that I don't want to be at the office today?

Same old hypocritical bullshirt!

Let's take the example of Rupert Murdoch, shall we?: Married with Children and The O'Reilly Factor . 2 sides of the same capitalist coin.

His "entertainment network" pushes the limits of obscenity.

His "news network" pushes the limits of conservatism.

Conservatives never seem to see the relationship, even though F-O-X is clearly spelled in both names. Hmmmm.

Could it be that this antagonism is actually more profitable than a single, unified alignment?

It isn't strange to me at all that K-Lo isn't criticizing the dudes in these situations, she's a slut-shaming 'family values' dipshit. OF COURSE it's the fault of the lady sluts and gay sluts, the poor men are helpless before their slutitude and pretty much fall into their orifices. This is how it works. These are facts!

That pic of Sasha Grey reminds me I need to put The Girlfriend Experience in my netflix queue.

@thelandlady: I wouldn't bother with The Girlfriend Experience; it's lots of glossy, off-center shots of 'glamorous-yet-souless' New York hotels, cafes, restaurants, peopled by bored and boring assholes, talking about the stock exchange, with an occasional scene of the seemingly lobotomised SG getting dressed/undressed, or having a half-assed argument with her two-dimensional gym-instructor boyfriend. Also, it is badly acted and essentially pointless. Yeah, I didn't like it.

Asking Heidi Fleiss about sex work makes a lot of sense.

But why would you ask an adult film star about a governor's affair? Unless she's had an affair with a governor in the past, I don't see any point to it other than "Ooh, look at the adult film star."

I think there is a trend towards putting sex into pieces that doesn't belong there, like quoting Sasha Grey rather than Donna Brazile. It isn't pro-sex so much as pro-titillation and it does promote women as objects.

I don't know. Anna, I'm sure you're correct about Lopez's prejudicial wish of censorship for those who would dare to stray from traditional "family values," but after reading SG's entire comment (as quoted in Lopez's article), I would have reacted in a similar manner--however, not because she's a porn actress, but because her take on Sanford's affair produced a shockingly victim-blaming boys' club solution to the problem. She wasn't merely saying that we should all have affairs outside of our primary relationship, but that women should just accept that their politician husbands will always cheat on them, and that they should "receive something in exchange from their husband — whether that exchange be children, money, material items, or sex." She also goes on to say that the woman basically let it happen. Although SG does not appear to be wishing for anyone's censorship, she does appear to be rather dismissive of anyone who prefers monogamy (serial or otherwise) just as Lopez is dismissive of anyone who is sexually liberated. The bottom line is that, from their comments, neither of these women seem to be doing much for the status of their own gender--and THAT depresses me.

Why is "adult film star" in quotes in her piece before Sasha Grey's name? I mean, Lopez's opinions here make no sense to me but isn't this at least a fact, that Sasha Grey is a star of adult films? Oh wait - Newsweek was accused of "sexism." Because sexism would be going too far. I always love a very liberal (ha ha) use of quotation marks. And commas. And ellipses. (She didn't do those last two, but plenty of people do, and I hate it just as much.)

So make sure to take your sexuality and repress it; push it way down inside so nobody knows your filthy secrets, never ask for anything in bed, and be grateful for the missionary-style sex you're occasionally having. Thanks, NRO!

Your office Christmas parties must be real fun.

@AndPreciousLittleofThat: I would think it would a lot of missionary position sex. A wife's role is to submit to her husband and we all know that men can't restrain themselves. It's how the Lord made them.

It's true. My classmates and I gave each other BJs after graduation by handing our diplomas to each other, then snickering about it because we're 14. And I always, always have to spell it out on the resume.

Dear Ms. Lopez,

First, adult film star does not need quotations. Unless you think it's a foreign word or an unfamiliar term, neither of which apply here.

Second, a b*** j** is called oral sex when it needs to be referred to in a professional or medical manner. Blow job would have been acceptable. B*** j*** is just juvenile.

Third, Sasha's Grey opinion on Sanford really hit the mark. Especially when she said, "Consensual sexual preferences shouldn’t govern our politics, media, or way of life." But you decided not to quote that. Personally, I'm pleased to see someone in the media with a healthy attitude towards sex, unlike Sanford, Spitzer and Craig who created the real scandals.

Stop making pseudo-problems so you have something to write about.

Thank You,
The Average Woman

I was very confused at first, because that photo paired with the name "Kathryn Jean Lopez" did not compute. I'm pretty sure K-Lo wears only dresses, because that's what the proper wimminz do, and spends her days in a dark corner with the door triple deadbolted. In case the Liberal Media comes by to rape and pillage. That woman is a stack of stupid. NRO is affectionately known as "America's Shittiest Website" by the fine folks over at Sadly, No!

I think Kathryn Jean Lopez and I went to the same church camp. The difference is, I got to college and started hanging out with the gays and realized how awesome they were.

People have sex organs, Kathy. It's OK if some of them use them in different and non-procreative ways.

In other words, fuck off for wanting everyone else to feel as disgusted as you do about your genitals.
