does this make me a hypocrite?

[doriangray21]

So there’s this girl in my department that I fell hard for. She didn’t want me and it went nowhere. I felt that she was very confidant and naturally beautiful, barley ever wearing any make up. I found out a few months ago that she was running in a beauty pageant. Though it’s something she’s done before and I support her (we’re still acquaintances) I’ve always hated beauty pageants. I think there degrading and exploitative and they bring out the worst in people (when I saw her after the holiday, she lost weight and had a weird fake tan, and she was focused 100% on the pageant). I have a few pseud –feminist beliefs such as this but here’s the issue. Sometimes I enjoy pornography. Because of this, Does it make me a hypocrite to say that women shouldn’t have to rely on their looks or partake in something like as degrading as a beauty pageant?

You have a lot of emotions going on.

You can have contradictory opinions in life.

We contain multitudes.

For example, you can hate what pornography represents, it's exploitation of emotionally unhealthy and often abused girls, and it's ultimately degrading and objectifying manners, yet still rub one out to it.

Dude you're fine. Go have a beer with your chums and don't worry about it.

[Donald M.]

Yes.

No.

Maybe.

Seriously, calm down, you're fine.

Do whatever you like. Feminism ignores logic and biology and psychology all at once. No reason you can't do the same.
