There are things that I don't like, and then there are things I know are seriously, morally wrong.  I don't like the phrase "make love."  It's one of those phrases that I don't like the sound of.  I am not alone in this; other people have blogged about their dislike of that phrase.

I'm not sure why I have always disliked it.  I hate it, though I know it's not a morally wrong phrase.

I think I have talked about this before, the idea that the phrase equates sex with love, and the connotation of that is that sex is the only way for people to love other people.  The phrase makes me think the question "What do you call what you do with your time when you're not having sex?  'Making hate?  Making anger?  Making derision'"?  I think women are more on the receiving end of that way of thinking about life, that everything is a battle except sex, and that sex is what men do with women when they stop hating women for a few hours, not because they ever like women, but because they want sex.

I don't like that you called your last album "Paradise Valley."  Is sex the only thing that everybody in the entertainment industry thinks about all the time?  Also, it's certainly too much for any woman to live up to.  I don't like being called a valley, and I do think it's morally wrong that you did it.  Then the "Paradise" part makes things worse.  You could have called it "For Lena: Anxiety Attack Plus Serious Disapproval."  Who wouldn't have bought it?

There's also the way the word "Paradise" was first added to the long list of ways that the conglomerate has degraded me.  Unless I read the situation wrong, calling my vagina "Paradise" was a way that Leonardo DiCaprio responded to my saying "STOP TALKING ABOUT MY VAGINA" in 2010.  There is nothing that is respectfully flattering about someone continuing to talk about a person's vagina when she has said "STOP TALKING ABOUT MY VAGINA!"

The things that the conglomerate promotes are crimes.  I won't get involved with someone who promotes crime, and I hope that you won't use me to get conglomerate-encouraged, heightened status.

All of that being said, and true, I hope nobody will take what I'm about to say to mean that I'm not serious about all of the above.

If you don't know that I don't have size D boobs, then you were never the Lothario I thought you were.  That's not a bad thing, except that, without question, I DON'T HAVE size D boobs.  The illegal videos of me are a terrible crime; I suppose I could be grateful that the deceitful publicity about my chest could be a sign that not enough people have seen the videos of me for it to be generally known that I DON'T HAVE SIZE D BOOBS.
