RE: Intensity
I appreciate your response, sean. I just don't think that flaunting yourself in front of men who are on her blog to induldge their lusts over her (e.g. TAKE more away from her). She doesn't need that to feel good about her self.
Let's continue for a minute. Suppose you are correct as to her motivation. What's wrong with "indulging their lust"? Why do you deem that to be somehow unfair or unwise or shameful? Suppose that instead of being sexy she had great musical talent and displayed it here. Would you criticize her for indulging people's natural affinity for music? Would you tell her that she didn't need to share her music to feel good about herself? Or if she were a gifted artist, would you critisize her for indulging people's artistic fascinations? Or if she were a brilliant poet or essayist (actually, she kinda is the latter), would you criticize her for sharing her writings here? Would you suggest that "she doesn't need to do that to feel good about herself"?
I don't think you would. Why not? Aren't your issues with female beauty, and especially female sexuality and sensuality, purely a function of your religious sensibilities? I challenge you to articulate a nonreligious and nonmoralistic distinction between "indulging lust" and indulging any other human desire (such as for beauty, music, poetry, friendship, recognition, etc.).
