Here is a funny video blog from our friend and notorious modern sex columnist Violet Blue on the topic of her disappointing appearance on the Tyra Banks show. Now, on the one hand, we think Violet is really cool and we support her efforts to spread knowledge and shed sensible perspective on modern sexuality, but I do have to wonder when well meaning credible people will learn to stop pandering to these ridiculous daytime talk shows. I know a lot of people that have gone on this sort of show and not one of them was happy with the experience. Some are not as savvy as Violet and really allow themselves and the issues they care about to be humiliated and grossly misrepresented. It’s high time more people just refused to put themselves in that position. But, I guess I do understand the desire to at least try to get good information out there, although it sure seems like the odds are stacked against objective informative perspectives.
Violet mentions that Tyra’s view of what women want is about ten years out of date, but I disagree. I think it’s at least fifteen to twenty. Most men I know want some romance in their lives way more than most women I know these days and I do think that brings up some issues worth talking about and getting a better understanding of. You can read about Violet’s whole experience over on her Tiny Nibbles blog.
Main stream media is so absurd, they need to stop giving shows to egotistical idiots.
