Blog Summary Question #1 (Chapter 14)

The majority of you felt like this video was not an example of sexual suppression, but more of a personal choice. You also didn't really think we picked a video that aptly embodied the ideas from chapter 14. Oops.

There were varying views of bell hook's idea that monogamy isn't for everyone. Some people strongly disagreed with the idea of non-monogamous relationships, while others embraced the idea of having an openly sexual relationship with more than one partner. One classmate said, "I think whether to remain in a monogamous or non-monogamous relationship is a very personal decision."

Many of you commented on the impact that religion and faith had on the model's decision to leave the lingerie modeling industry. Some of you respected her decision, but didn't necessarily agree with her point of view. One classmate posted, "I can understand the importance she puts on her religion and how much it affects her work, but I do not share her belief system and feel that it reflects some outdated, unneeded standards."
