Romantic Porn. . .

I full heart-edly(?) believe that Twilight and other romance sagas are porn for women. They create unrealistic expectations that men (and women) can never live up to.

Perhaps this is too strong, and I don't like to broadcast these feelings among my peers because of the movie's popularity. Many of my friends don't see anything wrong with Twilight and other such romance things. I don't want to condemn them.

I didn't feel like watching Twilight. It held no appeal to me when it came out. At a dorm party last year, my RA put it on and all the girls watched it, including me. After seeing it, I felt awful- guilty, incomplete, desperate longing for a guy, unacceptable the way I am. I don't know if every girl feels this way, but I did. Since then, I have refused to watch anymore and fall into the hype.

It seems like I can't escape this. My former and current roommates are obsessed with it, I mean magnets and everything. I have to give a speech at the end of the semester, including the topic of veracity. After trying to think of everything else, I kept coming back to "The Lies of Romance" but I'm afraid if I deliver a speech on the evils of "romantic porn" I might offend a lot of girls, including my roommates.

I feel strongly on this "romantic porn" topic but I'm afraid to speak up.

Thoughts?
