Pornography Myths (Femme Talk Post)
Pornography Myths (Femme Talk Post)
There are a few schools of thought as far as language goes. Some people, like you, seem to believe that language is stagnant and that definitions are based on some kind of standard set by an expert. I believe that language is what we make of it. And myth has a new definition than it used to. That happens. Deal.

Thanks for the copy and paste reference.com definition of myth. That's great if you want the English Exam question number nine on page six for that standardized test where no child is left behind. But, when you speak to a scholar (such as one so respected as Joseph Campbell) I really hope you can refrain from rolling your eyes, lest you will lose your argument. Joseph Campbell does, in fact, define Myth as a metaphor. If you want to dispute him, that is fine and great, in fact, I love that notion. But, please, please, give evidence outside of a pedestrian link to some homogenized dictionary definition.

thepinky, I have yet to contribute to your Sift Talk discussions but I have read them, and kudos for stirring the pot a bit.

And it's also really cool that I discover good people like you and others when I argue with the losers. That's mean. They're not losers. They're just victims of a warped society.

Don't despair, ThePinky. It's a helluva fight you and LittleRed picked to have on the internet. And please don't take any of it personally. You both have my utmost respect for even trying.
