"Chick Flicks Are Porn"

Huh? That is the statement I heard made on the radio today. It was some talk radio show, and I think it was on a "religious" station. As I was flipping around looking for SOMETHING of interest in the radio I heard a woman say, "So yes, chick flicks are porn".

So THAT explains why I am embaressed to admit it, but I DO tend to like movies categorized as chick flicks. But today, I learned porn- this kind in particular- is dangerous! The woman speaking, who has written some book on the subject I guess, said that these so called chick flicks paint the male charactor as unachievable perfection, making us women unhappy with the real men in our lives. She equated this to the perfect unattainable woman that men watch in the other kind of porn movies (really?). She even brought up catalogues you might look thru and see pretty furniture and think, "Urgh, I n-e-e-d this stuff. My house isn't near this cool" So that I guess, is catalogue porn- Leaves you hot and bothered and wishing you had something other than what you have.

Porn is everywhere...and evidently, I'm a big fan.
