Dear Carrie Prejean, turtlenecks are conservative.

One thing in a seemingly endless sea of things that don’t make sense to me: Self-proclaimed “conservative women” who (as teenagers?) film themselves masturbating, send the video to their boyfriend and then pretend that behavior is  in any way “conservative”.

Miss Prejean, sweetheart, a turtleneck sweater is conservative.  If you can compare a sex tape to a turtleneck sweater and convince me that there are any circumstances in which the turtleneck could be considered less conservative than the sex tape, you’re off the hook.  You can argue that a masturbation video isn’t a sex tape all you want, just because it isn’t intercourse with a partner, doesn’t mean it isn’t a sexual act.  Videos like the one you made are universally categorized as pornography.  Sending your boyfriend amateur pornography featuring you as the cast of one, whether you “loved him”, “cared about him”, or not, cannot logically be construed as the moral high ground.  This is especially true when you are supposed to be “conservative”.

I could be described as agreeing mostly with liberal social philosophies, and I have never made a video of myself engaged in any kind of sexual activity or wearing any less than what’s typically required by law in a public place.  So if I’m the turtleneck and you’re the sex tape, which one of us is the true conservative and which one clearly isn’t?

Unless of course, moral conservatism literally means to conserve one’s morals – that is; to have fewer and consider them less often?

The truth is often ugly, but the sooner we face it the sooner we can find a plastic surgeon to fix it up.
