The great oral debate
So there's been this raging controversy in the feminist blogosphere about whether women performing oral sex on men is inherently degrading. Normally I'd stay out of a discussion like this, because 1) it's not exactly a burning political issue; and 2) boy, did I get enough of these kinds of pointless arguments as an undergraduate. Just thinking about M., who actually wrote a thesis on whether a feminist could justify doin' it in the missionary position, makes my eyes start to roll back into my head.
But with so many people having so many strong reactions about it (162 comments at Pandagon! Over 200 at instigating blog I Blame the Patriarchy!), I can't resist commenting. I realize that many people don't give a damn or might be offended, so my take is behind the cut.
Obviously I'm speaking for myself here, as I'm pretty sure Texas NOW has no official position on this particular subject.
