Hm
#i wonder sometimes. we have so many profs who specialise in studies in sexuality or whatever#and have done papers publications classes whatever on sexuality or eroticism in X body of literary work#SO many of them in the eng lit department#i was telling my friend about something my prof said in class once and she just stared at me with big eyes and i was like... i'm not kiddin#though i WISH i were. it wouldn't be a good joke at all though#sometimes i wonder. should english profs and majors go and touch grass every once in a while?#because it strikes me sometimes that if someone normal (i.e. not an english major) (i call upon my own state as an english major#as grounds for having rights to make Comments about english majors) comes into a classroom and listens to the stuff#prof and other english lit peeps continually pontificate on. and just walk away feeling deeply disturbed#do they not realise. that some of this stuff is downright perverted#i don't know i wonder what the inklings would think about english departments and their obsession with sex these days#i doubt cs lewis would have good things to say about it. much less tolkien#anyhow i feel like i'm being uncharitable once again but it IS perverted#and by golly we should NOT be bringing up sexuality so much in class. there are better things to think about#and better ways to analyse a text. my word
