Just finished watching a doco called 'The Sex Blog Girls'.

It was really interesting. I liked to think I'm slowly broadening my knowledge in a number of areas in order to compliment what I'm planning to study. When I eventually narrow that down. I know I want to look at gender and sexuality, but I've been told that at the university where I want most to study these subjects, that particular major turns into little more than a feminist shitfight.

Oh yay. That's something to look forward to.

I've had enough feminist ideals from the women in my family - Forgive me for not wanting to be force-fed more. I don't fully understand the concepts behind what some die-hard feminists say though, so it could be interesting to learn a little more about it all. That said though, the way I've seen some women go on in the past couple of years, really turns me off the ideals they're trying to highlight within the community. Sure, you have a point, sure you want to be heard, but there's no need to go on like a complete idiot. It's like politics - I may not agree with what you're saying, but if you get up and present a well thought out argument or opinion, I'll atleast respect you by the end of it. Not to mention, perhaps, reconsider my stance on the subject.

Anyway - I'd been wanting to watch this documentary for some time and I was lucky enough to find it online. (Because I'd assumed that it had only been shown in the UK, only to find that the recording I was watching, had been shown on SBS. Epic Fail.) It was interesting to hear where all the things I've been reading have come from and how they've started. I never followed 'Girl with a one track mind' but I'd heard of it a lot. That said, the way the media exposed the bloggers identity was not cool. Not at all. I can understand that desperate desire for a story, for THE story - but I don't think, and this is probably why I wouldn't make a good journalist, I could handle getting it at someone else's expense. After all, I can go back home at night and most likely never have to deal with it again. But for the people it affects, a simple story can haunt them for a lifetime.

Wow, that was a bit deep, no?
