You’ve already helped me understand my biases

I am a 42 year old, Los Angeles dad of 2 with a wife of 20 years. My family is from the Mid-West, but I grew up in the Deep South and lived in Texas in my 20’s. I learned many mid-western Protestant values about integrity and actions speak louder than words that I’m proud have made me the person I am today. I also learned about being nice and…shhh…being polite is more important than speaking up.


As a result of some tough time understanding my wife, I have explored some subjects that bring some of those very basic biases though research and lots of non-fiction audio books written by experts in the subject they are discussing. I am just realizing how many male biases I cary with me about gender roles.

Which leads me to this wonderfully produced collection of eye-opening essays by Sussie Bright. Her narration is great and it’s a very good recording, but the key is the content.


MEN WHO ARE READY AND INTERESTED IN UNDERSTANDING GENDER BIAS THIS IS FOR YOU

You like some types of porn and others are disgusting, yes? You do not think that lesbians in porn is inappropriate, no?

Who better to learn about loving women and valuing them than a very well spoken and insightful manner than one of the only women who has produced porn specifically for women. That’s Susie, as you would find if you started listening to this already.

BONUS : SUZIE’S QUICK GENDER BIAS BUSTING TEST
(in my words)

Picture yourself going to an art gallery for a photography exhibit with your wife. You arrive at a fancy gallery and their are huge photographs on the wall. Very quickly you realize that these are very well produced pictures of dicks and men’s buts.

Okay, the artist is going to arrive now, is the artist a man or a woman?

If you are like me…you can totally picture this wildly confident gay man so proud of the world’s fanciest dick picks he had made.

Now go back and change the art on the wall to a clit or a labia. Do you picture a pervert Lamborghini asshole artist who threw money at his assistant for some XXXL pussy pics? And are you worried people might think you were a pervert if you looked like you enjoyed the art?

Now think about a real person, a lesbian who has had a tough life in some ways but is very fortunate in others. In one of the bright parts in this person’s life, they met and feel in love with a women and want to express that in art. The are wants to reflects how deep and beautiful this feeling of being with someone who desires to be with you in an intimate way. She also realizes that her life is much better since she discovered her sexuality.


The point is that you can show a pussy without thinking man and you and show a dick without thinking man. That’s not fair and we should dig deep to understand for our mothers, wife’s, and daughters.
