I actually made the comment when nothing was actually visible (and thought the absence of a paper made it worthwhile.) The actual assignment is entertaining (especially since its your assignment), though I suspect the smut is of a different sort from that which appears occasionally on this livejournal :))
I suspect the smut is of a different sort from that which appears occasionally on this livejournal :))I suspect that's actually going to work as one of the main points of my argument: How is word-porn not porn? (Rhetorical.) Since it is porn, is it exploitative of women? Answer: another question. How can it be exploitative of women when it's primarily marketed *to* women, written *by* women, and prominently *features* women, which is a hell of a lot better than any other genre of literature, by the way. (Side note: can porn be literature, and vice versa?) Since I don't think it can be exploitative if it's by, for, and about the people it's supposed to be exploiting, I'm going to say no, it isn't exploitative
