Porn or Erotica?
February 22nd, 2012
Greta Christina Is there a useful difference between porn and erotica? My usual answer to this question is that the distinction between porn and erotica is pretty artificial. It generally comes down to subjective taste, conveniently dovetailed with character and even moral judgment. “I like erotica; you like porn; they like filthy smut.” But when I have [...]
Valuing Women = Ignoring Them?
November 10th, 2011
Greta Christina Don’t you love it when religious believers go on and on about how they value and respect and treasure women… while totally ignoring the things women are actually saying? And by “love,” I mean of course, “get totally infuriated by, but in a way that’s kind of entertaining.” In my recent post, Why I Probably [...]

Images and videos didn’t make it over, and there are a handful of posts that didn’t make it and that I’ll have to put in by hand. (For some reason, it didn’t like my posts [...]
“Straight Porn Will Make You Gay”: The Delusion of Sex-Negativity
July 27th, 2011

But the Blowfish Blog archives are apparently no longer on the Internets, and the original piece is no longer available.
