Catholic and Enjoying It!
Just as a word that means “univeral” is narrowed in modern parlance to mean “sect” so (as Natalie Portman demonstrates) postmodern culture now expands the narrowest and most boring form of barnyard rutting to be something wider than love, commitment, and the intertwining of lives in the mystery of love and family:
Natalie Portman may be preparing herself for a life of domesticity with fiancé Benjamin Millepied and a baby on the way, but she admitted that the reason she was drawn to character Emma Kurtzman in her latest film “No Strings Attached” was because the leading lady was simply seeking a no-romance bed buddy as opposed to the whole nine yards.
“Emma wants a relationship without the relationship. She just wants the sex. It’s unusual but funny,” Portman told FOX411’s Pop Tarts. “I love romantic comedies, but I’m tired of seeing girls who want to get married all the time and that’s all they’re interested in. I think there is a wider vision of how women can conduct their lives and what they want.”
Empty sex = wider vision
Love, commitment, family = cramped and stifling
