So there's this concept of female pornography: in the form of romance novels and chick flicks, girls are being presented again and again with this image of the perfect guy. He's cute, romantic, and when he blunders (rarely), he makes up for it a million times by doing something that, let's face it, just isn't realistic. So some consider that if you take these things in large doses, that if you feed off them, it will in the end be detrimental. Did anyone catch that?
And it strikes me, almost every original disney classic is like a perfect example of this. In one Walt Disney tribute on youtube, you will see an average of four to five good looking romantic guys literally pick up a girl and carry her away with a kiss. I love Disney movies, I think they're great. But...I don't know. I was just sort of sitting here thinking about his.
On another note, have any of you ever heard of someone named Ben Kweller? Or the song "Sundress"? Good song. Good song.

I still totally don't get how movies that have a ridiculously perfect guy classifies as girl porn?
I think Thomas gets it. I don't know, it's kind of weird, but...yeah.
Ariel, shut up.
And actually, I don't think that's a problem. I don't think women have a problem of having their standards too high. I think if anything, it's the opposite. So I disagree. But that's just me.
Well, I get what Thomas is saying, but calling it girl porn is just a tad extreme. It's just more of the perfect fantasy. And Roo, girls are already disappointed enough with the standards we set. No need to hike them up higher. Poor guys.
