In the book of Genesis, God beat Jacob in a wrestling match by tickling him in the privates. That kind of God isn't likely to get angry at porn movies.
How is a girl betraying her father if she stars in a porno? What business is it of his? Starring in a porno is only a betrayal of anybody if you are in a monogamous sexual relationship with them, and that relationship is mutually exclusive with a father-daughter one (if it's not, then Dad betrayed Daughter first!) Seriously, Charles, can you please express ideas via the UPPER end of your digestive tract!?
it is the thinking like this: that dads and husbands own every aspect of their daughters and wives sexuality that lead directly to the actions of honor killing, honor mutilation, and honor rape.
Charles can't be serious. He complains so often about the ignorance of rural people, and this attitude, that a daughter "betrays" her father by choosing a profession he doesn't approve of, is downright redneck. Can't be serious.
dear charles, normally i quite enjoy your commentary, but seeming to equate l. fishburne with a betrayal that involved the death penalty of an alleged holy man is silly and, well, just silly. also, as much as i think this young lady is probably being foolish by thinking that this will give her the career that she seems to want, i'm not sure that it's possible to enact the kind of betrayal to which you seem to be alluding. for that matter, might said father be betraying his daughter by failing to love her for whom she is, respecting her choices? i dunno.
Charles, at some point you will have to reconcile your attraction to women behaving in a sexual manner with your apparent contempt for the same. You've published plenty of posts salivating over other daughters of other fathers. I'd expect more of you.
charles,
merlot, or cab?
your mood is eerily conveyed by your excessive punctuation and the use of 'fuck' in such a direct and personal manner. i actually quite like the effect, though i don't appreciate the sentiment. have you never made sex videos? people fuck. we're bodies with parts. it's only as demeaning as you want it to be. please calm down.
Charles ... get over yourself .. .don't you think you are being a WEEE bit hypocritical on your porn stance?
"You have created god in your own image when you he hates all the things that you hate."
Why is posting softcore ok on the slog (and yes it is ok) ... good but porn is bad?
Is it too capitalist.
Look, if I was a father, I would be more concerned that my daughter was happy whether she did porn or not, and ultimately the point is ... "god has something better for you"
I mean, that's supposed to BUILD her spirit. Give her reassurance that she's not a horrible person for doing what she may need to get by but like ... still have hope for the future.
ok, if it helps, i do not believe in god. and i think the whole story about the xxxchurch is nothing but funny. my last post about this story was a little more serious. this one is not.
Charles, are you ironic a lot more often than commenters give you credit for? Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm just not smart enough to pick up on the dead-pan.
I gave charles more than a benefit of the doubt earlier, and I even wanted to make light of it such as it is @20, but the sad part is that his mind his mush on the issues of father/daughters, crying children and italian loafers. so again fuck off Lee.
@22 fucking hilarious! I only wish that Charles hadn't stepped in to defend himself so quickly, so we could see how many actually didn't get that...LMAO!
@34: me too, i like Charles, and get kinda pissed when people just hate on him for whatever, though I think that in this case he is just being a short sighted parent masked by his rhetoric/erudition blogging skills.
Ah, gee. And here I thought that in 2010, fathers didn't still own their daughters until they "gave them away" to the husband. Guess I was wrong.
But Charles is right about God. They are there to either own or be lost in battle as booty, or to be sold into sexual slavery at whatever age daddy thinks is ok.
That's not MY kind of God, of course. That's just one of the many gods that I think Suck Donkey DIck.
@37 --- I'm the opposite. I usually ignore Charles' posts because they are pompous or vapid or pointless (or all three).....But I burst out laughing on this post.
Sorry Charles your postings about capitalist conspiracy theories have made you come across as way way way to serious .... I couldn't get the humor right away ...
Oh whatever, Charles. You post a bunch of crazy crap on here and then when people call you on it suddenly you're all, 'I'M KIDDING YOU PHILISTINES ARE YOU TOO STUPID TO GET IT?!"
It sounds like something my six year old niece would pull.
Yeah, this is classic Charles: Write weeks of smart stuff and then negate everything with one ignorant hillbilly post that is always, ALWAYS at the expense of women.
Most of the commenters here seem to "get it", but others—Charles included—think it's okay to chuckle over misogyny because he's a parent, he's drunk right now or he was only kidding. I'd love to see a racist try and use those excuses.
All that said, I think it's good that Charles airs these thoughts on Slog. There are a lot of smart comments here that—if he even reads them—might help him sort out his lady issues.
As someone with no desire to do porn, someone who doesn't even watch porn, someone who most people would describe as a prude, I am nonetheless so creeped out whenever dads act like their daughter's sex lives are any of their business. *Shudders.* Yuck.
Fiona @ 47: I feel the same way, but I just find it amusing that churchy types think they have a mandate "from God" to instruct lesser mortals on their sex lives and choice of profession, however gently they attempt to exercise it (let alone those who judge and condem them to the fires of Hell for all Eternity (etc)).
I guess Charles feels similarly, and saw an opportunity to use that ironically.
Quite a 'star.'
By the way, if Montana has any sense whatsoever, she will submit something for Humpfest.
Intense!
just something to think about when people start railing against a "daughters betrayal".
Uhh.
Charles...
.....
Fuck off.
At least I hope he isn't.
Then move to fucking Jerusalem.

I mean wow ...
not that it matters.
... but god you fuckers are idiots.
i mean other than the girl/woman hating and shaming part.
you are part of the problem; you enabling jackass.
Seriously: stop it. No really.
ya dumbass.
right.
My nomination for slog comment of the year / or at least fiscal quarter.
Long live the king! The king is law! Beat back the tyranny that has ruined the lives of Kardashians and Hiltons alike!

More of these Charles, pleeeeeze...
Do this more often ... and I might get it.

And a misogynistic one, to boot.
