Why Are Women Interested in Gay Men?

2009-12-17T08:11:01Z

You might have already seen this, but I love this article that was posted at AfterElton.com:
Why are Women Interested in Gay Men? It's not because they want to sleep with them!

THIS:

Perhaps the distinction lies in the fact that straight men have assumed the dominant role in heterosexual relationships for centuries, whereas in a relationship between two men, both enter it without traditional gender stereotypes.

And quoted from a reader named Jessica (Yes, my name is awesome):

The "non-equality" ... in a m/m relationship doesn't come from the gender of the participants and the roles they're expected to play/fill because of that gender, but rather from their individual personal characteristics and the dynamics of that particular relationship.

A THOUSAND TIMES YES, THAT IS EXACTLY IT. Of course there is the hotness factor too (OBVIOUSLY), but it's really interesting to note that it seems I get the most flack from women who don't oppose stereotypical gender roles (I'm referring to fandom/loving gay men/slashing).

After taking a critical gender studies course this quarter, it opened up a whole new dialogue because I could bring up issues of feminism and gender roles through out the year to a lot of different people and have specific questions to ask. Besides getting called a feminazi (He was joking, but that's still not okay), it went pretty well because I learned a lot about my friends that I didn't know before. AND although it's easy to tell who buys into stereotypical behavior in order to try and get what they think they want (GROSS), it's hard to understand their motivation and for me that was the biggest challenge. I'm still not 100% sure about the reasons why yet, but I have some pretty good ideas. Women are half the population. If we all stood up together to stop gender discrimination, we could win (at least make it way better than it is). I do know it's much harder to go against the grain, so to speak, and that's mostly because other women won't stop the oppression. They would rather oppress other women in order to propel themselves forward. That is where the real problem lies, and that is what I want to investigate more thoroughly.

So yes, gay men are attractive because for me they represent how relationships could be if gender stereotypes were tossed aside and people actually built relationships on individual character instead of expectations.

I LOVED how the article kept mentioning Sam/Dean. Those boys are EPIC. ♥ I wonder if Kripke knows he is inadvertently fighting for gender equality by his characters serving as examples? (HELL, HE DOES IT ON PURPOSE, DOESN'T HE!). And the Torchwood DVDs are totally on my Christmas list, btw :)

Happy Hanukkah

2009-12-16T06:23:17Z

So I'm way late in saying it, and I think it might be almost over? But Happy Hanukkah. I've always wanted to celebrate it because I love Potato Latkas and Menorahs are so beautiful. Maybe one year I'll have this giant winter holiday mash-up, once I better understand all the winter holidays.

ONLY THREE MORE DAILY SHOWS/COLBERT REPORTS LEFT IN 2009! That's both exciting and sad. SO I have two of my favorite songs from the Colbert Christmas Special for you:

Can I Interest You in Hanukkah? ♥ with Jon & Stephen

A Cold, Cold Christmas

Fic posting starts at jb_ficexchange at midnight. I'm really excited about a lot of the fics; I think everyone is going to be pleased with the quality of all the authors!!!! ~~Joick still freaks me the fuck out, though. As does Joe/Demi.~~ Buuuut I'm not going to give anything else away until posting time! As a mod, all I can hope is that the people who signed up didn't stress too much and that everyone gets to read fics that they really enjoy. It's weird, because when you write a fic you hope the person you are writing it for and/or the people who are reading it like it, but when you are modding a fic exchange you hope that ALL the fics are liked by their recipients! Speaking of which, I have to get on my yuletide fic, it's due Monday!

Our grades for Fall Quarter don't get finalized until Dec. 23rd. GAH I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG. Usually they post them by this Friday, though.

DEM, WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY.

2009-12-15T06:06:05Z

DUDE. I LOVED THIS EPISODE. There has been so much stupid shit and cliches and random dumb lines but that's okay because I had SO MUCH FUN watching this episode!

Nicole annoys the crap out of me. *shrugs* Oliva used to, but she grew on me. Plus, I've always liked Lloyd, I'm not sure why. After this episode I am totally shipping the Lloyd and Olivia hotness. The two of them bring out a totally different chemistry with their screen time together, and now that they weren't trying so hard to be awkward, I was just like 'SQUEE!' the whole time. Especially with the last scene. Simon and Lloyd have some serious shit to work out though because all their sexual tension is pretty crazy. I feel like their relationship is way too much of an abusive one, though. Good thing Lloyd is getting out of that... except now he's KIDNAPPED!!!!! I was SO SUSPICIOUS OF THOSE EMTs. I WONDER IF SIMON HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS. OH NOES. Poor bb Duncan. Now he is probably going to end up living at the Benford's and hanging out with their daughter, which is going to be totally cute though.

Heee Janice said SUPER GAY.

EVERY TIME MARK CALLS DEMETRI 'DEM', I SQUEE A LITTLE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID TO HIM?! HE SAID 'WE ARE GOING ALL THE WAY'. OMG YOU KNOW WHERE I WENT WITH THAT. THE WAY HE FREAKED WHEN HE FOUND OUT HE WAS THE ONE WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KILL DEM?! HE IS SO NOT OKAY WITH THAT SITUATION. THEIR LAST SCENE IN THE AIRPORT = GAAAAAAAH HEARTACHE MAJOR.

I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH?! What is this?! >:(

PS I think it's hilarious that the penguin mood theme for 'crazy' is the penguin flipping around in a circle. *tehehe*

This is a compilation I made of the songs Joe listed as his top ten favorites in a past issue of Rolling Stone.

I am the most thrilled about his choice of MGMT's 'Time to Pretend'. This list is highly revealing, if you ask me. ♥

+It feels wonderful to be home!!! Even though I go back to school tomorrow already :P

+I apologize profusely to my yuletide writer because not only did I take forever to finish my request post, but it's also really long. *facepalm* At least they have plenty of ideas they could go with, I suppose. <3

+Thanksgiving is over, which means it is officially time to start thinking about Christmas and listening to holiday songs!!!

+I watched Definetly, Maybe last night. Ryan Reynolds is adorable but there are too many holes in the movie for me to truly say I liked it. On the other hand, tell me there is J2 fic based on it because I bet that would be AMAZING.

+FYI, I'm currently in love with raquel_el_pillo's Winters/Nixon High School AU fic Made Visible and Permanent - it has a couple other pairings on the side. GAH. ♥

+Working on xover_exchange fic, jb_ficexchange fic and yuletide fic. And I swear I'm going to study hard for finals too. Which are a week away.

+My sister is turning 17 this week, WTF. :O

+I hate to say it flist, but I'm too poor to send out holiday cards to everyone this year :( But I promise I'll figure out how to make it up to you... with some variation of the 25 days of Christmas posts :D

JAZZ (the one whose birthday just happened), this post is for you!

JAZZ! GUESS WHAT I FINALLY STARTED WATCHING BAND OF BROTHERS with my friend! WE ARE ON EPISODE FIVE AND I AM DYING, HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT.

HANKS AND SPIELBERG ARE BLOWING MY MIND AND BREAKING MY HEART.
The imagery, the cinematography, the acting, the varying nature of each episode, the effects and transitions, the way we are just plopped right into the middle of Easy Company... I AM IN LOVE. SO IN LOVE.

BUT THEN. THEN there is Winters and there is Nixon. AS IF I WASN'T SMITTEN ALREADY.

THE PART WHEN THEY WERE WHISPERING TO EACH OTHER AND WE COULDN'T HERE WHAT THEY WERE SAYING. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! OTP OTP OTP FOREVERRRRR.

THE PART WHEN NIX GETS GRAZED BY A BULLET AND FALLS IN PART FOUR?!?! I NEARLY LOST MY SHIT. And then Winters picking him up and just... and then Nix was all "quit lookin' at me like that".

♥ ♥ ♥

EPISODE FIVE OWNS MY FUCKING SOUL.

The transitions and the fluidity by which they were able to pass in and out of past events... How Winters continually suffers from that incident and that situation and they way they show us all the little details that are easy to forget about but are so important... I shivered on several occasions. And then when Nixon comes into the room where Winters is typing and immediately changes the mood and the way they communicate with and look at each other and they don't even needs words most of the time and not to mention the beginning of part five where Winters calls him Lew when he's trying to wake him up. aldfjaldjsflakjdlajfdlajfdlakf.

NO WORDS.

If anyone has any reccs or anything, send them my way. NOT with the Joick though. >:(
I need MOAR icons and headers and fic. GAH. I think I'm going to be living over at no_vices now <3333

PS My new layout is all fixed. THANK YOU SO MUCH fruitstyle FOR THE LAYOUT + HELP! Except for my mood theme pics... :( Is there a way to set it to no mood theme? That would be sad though, I'd miss the boys!

You like my new header? :)

+I AM SERIOUSLY SO IN LOVE WITH KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL. BRADLEY COOPER! JFD! All the snark and ass-grabbing! ♥ On episode four right now.

+Made two halloween icons in case you want~

+I AM IN SERIOUS NEED OF FANDOM HALLOWEEN ICONS. Hodgins in his Capt. outfit and Jonas boys trick or treating PLZ. If you know where I can find them please point me in the right direction :)

+J2 Spam from the Paley Festival. Definitely one of the best J2 interviews ever and it never gets old. SO EPIC. ♥

+Found this really cool layout/profile maker: dodoki. Speaking of which, I want to have a layout similar to gigglemonster's eventually :)

+Meme! Only if you wanna.

+Everyone is studying for midterms this weekend. Lame.

+SO. Still researching for my Demi/Selena + Jonas 60's feminist movement AU fic. And I need more info about Demi and Selena's family lives in the present. Basically all I know is that Demi's parents are divorced and she has two(?) sisters.

+I can't decide if I should be hating on rich white Germans or appreciating them.

THAT MAN CAN DANCE.

HOMO EXPLOSION!!!!!! ALYYYSSSAAAA! GLEE STOLE YOUR PHRASE!

DUDE, THEY THINK FINN IS KISSING DUDES.

DUDE, FINN WAS GONNA FIGHT FOR PUCK. <3333

OMFG PUCK AND RACHEL?!!? *GAGS*

PUCK SIIIINGING. ZOMG ZOMG AMAZING AMAZING. QUINN IS SO IN LOVE WITH HIM. AND SAD FACE FINN WAS SAD AND JEALOUS AND SAD.

AND Y'ALL SAW WILL BUMP FINN?! DUDE WILL WAS LIKE A GIANT EXPLODING BALL OF AWESOMETASTIC GLEE THIS WHOLE EPISODE.

Kurt's bitchface at Will when he was dancing. LOLOLOLOL OMFG.

I don't really adore the Glee kids' voices. I love the whole package - the dancing and the acting and the harmonies and the mash-ups and the exaggerated characterization - but just on voice alone, I don't get all the hype over them. Mark Salling, however. I think his voice could stand alone quite well.

OHMYGAWD PUCK CHOSE GLEE. He's amazing.

FINN. I KNEW YOU WOULD GO TO FOOTBALL. COWARD. Too bad he's still my little gorgeous wimp!boy favorite. *facepalm*

BEST PART~ KURT SLUSHY-ING HIMSELF FOR FINN. I LOVE THEM. ♥

YAY THE GANG IS BACK TOGETHER! *G*

David answers the who's the top/who's the bottom question

2009-10-19T07:08:20Z

I forgot to say welcome to my flist, megan_moonlight and graphic_vamp926! :D

Tthere are these two pictures of John Francis Daley and David Boreanaz that I LOVE TO PIECES but flickr won't let me save them so does anyone by chance have copies? Those boys and their secrets.

And also from Comic Con, David and JFD take over the discussion during a panel interview and David says "Sweets is a little feminine". ZOMG. *FLAILS* ♥ BOOTH IS THE TOP AND SWEETS IS THE BOTTOM. Sidenote, I am dying to watch all of Freaks and Geeks. That's going to take me a while to catch up on. :P

I totally watched the pilot of Kitchen Confidential though. I was laughing so hard. DUDE, Bradley Cooper!!! And JFD!!! There are only 13 episodes, but I have got to watch the rest of them.

OMFG YULETIDE!

2009-10-17T00:09:10Z

SO. bond_girl introduced me to yuletide and now I'm like, REALLY FUCKING EXCITED. Reading through past yuletide fics is eating up my liiiiife. *FLAILS* Obscure fandoms FTW. As far as nominations for this year goes, I think I'm going to nominate:

-Joseph Heller; Catch-22
-Jack Kerouc; On the Road
-Rendition (the movie)
-RPF; Pundits
-Tropic Thunder

Because the world could use more slash. ;D I really want to nominate RPF - Disney Stars and Star Wars too though. And 17 again. DECISIONS, DECISIONS.

Between jb_ficexchange and xover_exchange, I have a few exciting fic projects to work on before December :) *FLAILS*

Really? You gonna shanghai my whole discipline? WRONGOLOGY, BITCH.

2009-10-12T06:25:59Z

I love random gay couples being incorporated on major network shows ~~(Wait, was that asian dude the guy from FlashForward?!)~~ but sometimes it feels forced; almost like they are pandering. But maybe I just read too much into it. There was some good gay marriage discussion at the beginning, though :)

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!
BOOTH DRAGS SWEETS INTO HIS OFFICE. WHERE THEY PROCEED TO TALK ABOUT SEX. INCLUDING ANAL SEX. AND THEN SWEETS ALMOST SITS IN BOOTH'S CHAIR. I LOVE MY SLASH OTP.

and then later Sweets gives even more awesome advice to the Iranian intern. *heart clutch* That was a really cool plot development, with his fake accent; Opened up a whole new theme of conversation.

Besides the line I used as the title of this post, this made my day:
"WRONGOLOGY. Keep your grubby anthro hands off my psych."

Oh ya, and then Booth had Sweets hold his coffee. LULZ. Booth is such a dickhead to him but since he only does that to Sweets I'm pretty damn sure that means something ~~like major UST~~. *G*

I LOVE THE ENDING SCENES. I love when people can actually discuss religion, believers and nonbelievers all together. I love Sweets being all psychologist-ic and being broody and figuring stuff out. And Baby Booth is super cute.

And this is why Kurt/Finn is one of my favorite ships

2009-10-12T03:19:40Z

*There are no spoilers in this interview*

LOL I think Cory just called people from Ohio immature. Chris basically says he's not as fabulous as Kurt. And then Cory just stares at him a lot :D <3

IF SOMEONE MAKES ICON(S) FROM THIS I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. And write you a fic. or something.

Chris Evans/Joe Jonas fic.

2009-10-08T06:42:14Z

This fic has been taking over my brain the last 2 weeks. IDEK, YOU GUYS. It's like CRACK only it felt all intense when I was writing it. ~~And I might be kind of proud of the blowjobs at the end~~.
Thank you Deejae for watching 'PUSH' with me twice. Because WE LOVE THAT MOVIE! and it has led to this...

Title: There's a contradiction in this relationship outline
Pairings/Characters: Joe Jonas/Chris Evans; Brief mentions of Camilla Belle, Dakota Fanning
Rating: NC17
Word Count: 4,033 (HOLY SHIT WTF?!?!)
Summary: Joe goes onto the set of 'Push' to meet up with Camilla, but he runs into Chris. Chris is captivated, to say the least.

Disclaimer: I made all of this up solely for entertainment purposes. No disrespect intended.
Author's Notes: Written for rpf_raunchfest prompt: "I Want You"

Was this in your relationship outline?

THAT 10 YEAR OLD ON THE COLBERT REPORT WAS AMAZING. Even though he kept reading right off the teleprompter and not looking at Stephen at first. He was a little nervous. *G* Who wants to make a bet on where he'll be in 10 years?

"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

2009-09-27T00:09:34Z

Finally watched the newest ep! Sorry for avoiding flist lately b/c of spoilers. :P

HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK. WAS THAT NOT THE MOST EPIC EPISODE EVER?!?!!?!?!!

I can't even find the words. Dean wants his necklace back so damn much. And then he randomly throws in the whole ~~Sam~~ Bert and ~~Dean~~ Ernie are gay part. And Sam not calling Dean even though he wanted to and then those hunters trying to fuck up Sam because he didn't help them and Dean not being there to help him and Dean dying a little inside and I CRIED.

Totally did not know what was up with the Jessica appearance until... BAM. HOLY SHIT. LUCIFER.

Castiel and his facial expressions were hilarious.

Bobby in a wheelchair breaks my heart.

I love the ying and yang/balance concept Supernatural plays with. Good and Evil are just two sides of the same coin. Just as the boys fight for balance in their relationship, the world is fighting to find balance between heaven and hell.
