13. And duh once again, because Sue is PART of the media. She’s using the medium of blogging to try to affect a positive message.

15. I would add to this, though, that try as she might to affect a positive change (and I hope she doesn’t give up), today’s media, blogging included, are essentially casual modes of relating to one another. I discuss, argue, joke with, and heed people I do not and will not ever have meaningful relationships with. I bitched, whined, and complained about my ex-fiancee to people who didn’t know or care about either of us. Sue tells the story of meeting her husband to perfect strangers. Yohami tells “virtual” human beings how many women he’s slept with. Dogsquat shares stories about the military, EMT life, and girlfriends who’ve slept with rock stars with casual passersby.

17. I’m not criticizing any part of this. After all I’m taking part. I’m simply saying that our current media support and encourage casual relationships. That’s part of the message of the medium. Just like, whatever it says across the ass of a girls shorts, the underlying message is “stare at my ass.” And we’re just as conditioned by this message (casual relationships are good and fun and normal) as we are by that message (I almost always find myself staring at a girl’s ass if there’s something written on it).

20. Our society is responsible for virgin shaming and hyper-sexualisation of children via music and film. That much is obvious. When was the last time you hear a top 10 song that wasn’t about hedonism?

36. If it was up to “them”, all of the Hollywood busts would have been huge hits.
