What about guys who are into it? What about guys who are into it exclusively? When do you draw the line, and start making the judgments you’re afraid of?

Who says it wouldn’t? Like you said, you’re not into it. You don’t know how repeatedly getting off to violent imagery would affect you, because you apparently don’t do it.

I don’t really think that a dude walking around with a shirt with a bare tushy on it has an active interest in anti violence against women agenda.

You know that outlet theory - the idea that this porn is harmless or even beneficial - is pretty much dead, right, and that the links between porn and real behaviours are really compelling, scientifically speaking? And that objectification in general harms women? Right? You checked that before you decided that this…

When I was choked during sex to the point of not being able to breathe, and I ended up with bruises on my neck. Afterwards, I asked him, “what in god’s name made you think that was okay?”
His answer: “The girls in porn seem to like it.”

No. It’s a scientific issue.

I agree with you. This is stupid as fuck. I support Mack but come on let’s do something other than sell t-shirts with your picture on them.

As a reinforcer of the idea that hurting women is okay, that women are objects or fucktoys and not people worthy of respect. These shirts literally objectify Christie Mack, and that somehow is supposed to raise awareness of domestic violence and not itself turn women into fetishes.

The only way these shirts are going to prevent domestic violence is by giving me a visual cue to which people are unrepentant assholes. Are the people who would choose to wear these shirts any more likely to be abusers than anyone else? Maybe not, but they’re literally never going to get close enough to me that I…

Objection to porn is a moralistic issue. Objection to violence against women is a human rights issue.

Something about this rubs me the wrong way, so to speak. As someone else pointed out it kind of has that same “save the ta-tas” thing about it - yeah, money is going to a good cause, but I feel like the message may be doing more harm than good?

Yeah, not seeing it. I mean good for her, I hope she continues to be successful and I hope she can raise a lot of money for a good cause, but if I saw a dude wearing one of these shirts, I would just think they were a gross dude with zero problem objectifying women. I think part of the issue is how many people really…

“Raising awareness” is a dubious goal in general, and I don’t see how these images are supposed to do anything but raise... other things.

Aren't there vast sections of Pornhub that depict violence against women as a "fetish"?

These are some of the shirt designs. What, in these, gives the anti-violence message?

Or Pornhub could start by deleting videos that objectify women.

I’m 36 and about 8 weeks pregnant. I’ve had one “let’s get this started” meeting with the obgyn’s office and I’m already sick of being treated like I’m an elderly anomaly. I’m in better health now than when I was 20 tbh, it bothers me when they assume that I’m somehow falling apart and my bones are turning to dust.

Seconded. Became a Dad at 39. The rule was when he napped, I napped.

I had my first at 26. That shit is HARD no matter your age I think. I’m almost 30 now and thoughts of a second one with less time/sleep are pretty unappealing.

Benefit of having kid in mid-thirties: more life experience, secure in career/job, secure financially.
