“One 11-year-old girl interviewed tells the NSPCC researchers:
“I didn’t like it because it came on by accident and I don’t want my parents to find out and the man looked like he was hurting her. He was holding her down and she was screaming and swearing. I know about sex but it didn’t look nice. It makes me feel sick if I think about my parents doing it like that.”
What she describes doesn’t suggest she stumbled upon something unusually violent. Aggression and violent acts are the norm in online porn — research shows that 88 per cent of top rated porn scenes contain aggressive acts and that in the majority of cases, a man is the perpetrator of the aggression and a woman the recipient.”
“Research published in the British Medical Journal shows that 54 per cent of General Practitioners had patients request female genital cosmetic surgery (FGCS). Of those who had received these requests, 35 per cent of them came from women under 18. This is one way women adjust to porn culture. There are more.
Breast augmentation. Dieting. Pubic hair removal. The signs are everywhere — young women, surrounded by pornified images of the female body feel their bodies are wrong and need correcting, at any cost. And there are costs: labial surgery for example, like any surgery, presents a risk of infection and bleeding but can also lead to reduced genital sensitivity. There are other types of adjustments too — increasingly we hear of teenage girls having anal sex in order to please their male partners. The idea that sex is primarily about male pleasure is pushed by pornography — we see men engaging in sexual practices that hurt women, and the “money shot” is almost always the climax in the scene.”
“People will continue to deny the existence of porn culture and the devastating harm it causes, but reality is right in front of us. Statistics tell us something about the experience of living in the young female body that cannot be ignored. Porn culture will and is changing the reality of women’s and girls’ lives.”
When I told my ex boyfriend that I was against the sex industry and prostitution, his argument was to bring up one of his socially awkward “ugly” friends, and ask me “how ELSE is he ever supposed to get laid?”
That’s the thing about men when it comes to prostitution. They literally cannot fathom a world in which men aren’t entitled to sex. They can’t comprehend the idea that women’s lives and freedom is worth the price of men not getting sex. “Some guys will never get laid though!” I don’t… give a shit? Their dicks can rot and fall off for all I care.
Male entitlement is the problem no one wants to name. Men don’t want to admit they feel entitled to sex and women’s bodies and women even don’t want to admit most men see them as objects to fuck and nanny them
It really should be understood that if no one wants to have sex with you, that means you don’t get to have sex, too bad.
That when trans women talk about male violence towards them as an excuse to be let into female spaces, everyone agrees with them, even men are like “Yes, men are very violent towards trans women, so transwomen deserve to be included in female spaces”
But as soon as women talk about male violence suddenly we’re man-hating “misandrists” who have to pull out every source of every man who was ever violent to any woman in the history of the world, and if we don’t we’re lying about male violence, and also “Women are JUST AS VIOLENT AS MEN!”
Even though males are a hundred times more violent and dehumanising to women than they are to transwomen, they’re quickly believed and have all their wishes fulfilled while women receive even more violence for even daring to mention male violence.
If that doesn’t show you the male privilege of transwomen, idk what does.
Flamboyance and fortitude, femme and butch—not poses, not stereotypes, but a dance between two different kinds of women, one beckoning the other into a full blaze of color, the other strengthening the fragility behind the exuberance.
Joan Nestle, THE PERSISTANT DESIRE: A Femme-Butch Reader
Me, imagining a scene in my head: beautiful poetic prose that gracefully and artfully describes the scene in vivid detail, giving the reader concise imagery and beautiful wordplay to ruminate on.
Me, actually writing: The angry man throwed his chair through the window angrily and bigly. “I’m angry and pissed off.” He said because he was mad.
