The CBC miniseries starring Megan Follows is sacred. SACRED.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pure escapism. Also, I’m a sucker for a beautiful scenery, plucky, rebellious heroine and a love story.
megan can come across as overacting and Too Much until you like, realize anne herself is So Much. also being able to watch the actors all grow into their roles help my heart
It’s the kind of porn that is being consumed that’s the problem. I don’t think people can deny that the way the mainstream porn industry is being run is very damaging. Female sex workers are abused and manipulated, all the money is going to the men who run the industry. Mainstream porn is made for a male audience, and…
Not saying that the guys I had sex with as a teenager and young woman were super into consent, but porn sure helped normalize some uncomfortable sex acts I was then pressured into doing. It also made it so that I constantly gave but never received oral sex (because going down on women doesn’t play well for the camera).
I’m one of those people who honestly just finds it boring as all fuck,
YAAAAAAAS! I’m not against porn. I’m not even against there being some representations of women being objectified or acted upon (we all have different kinks, and our fantasies aren’t reality), my problem is that it’s almost all of porn. Even if it’s produced with consenting adults, only having one type of…
You know what I would love too see?Great films that include the fucking! (Like they are producing in Europe...although the films still tend to be really crappy).It would be so much better to have the sex contextualized and meaningful. I think it would be a much healthier way to see it. Instead of just hacing porn…
I find straight porn extremely unsexy, because I’m so turned off by whatever is happening to the woman. It’s definitely not my kink.
The complete unwillingness to even have a conversation about it drives me nuts.
I understand if women do enjoy porn, or want to enjoy it. Some of it is just fine and sexy and healthy, etc. I’m one of those people who honestly just finds it boring as all fuck, but I can see perhaps being interested in the “real” porn in which couples tape themselves, for instance. At least that isn’t…
It’s so knee-jerk, it’s hard to say if there’s any conscious thought behind women’s defense of porn. There’s a definite air of Cool Girl about it, for sure.
As feminists, we are very ON IT — rightly and productively — when it comes to calling out the warping effect, and even damaging effect, that images of women can have on us all. Calling out photo-shopping, for example. But when it comes to images of women in porn, the desire to be sex-positive and avoid anything that…
Thank you so much for writing this. Almost every comment on this article leaps to the defence of porn and most come in the form of #butnotallporn or #notallpornislikethat
It’s exhausting to find so many people on a feminist site unwilling to admit porn can be harmful and even to deny the words and experiences of a…
I’m definitely not anti-porn, but I will absolutely say that a lot of it that has crossed my path has been frighteningly misogynistic and purposefully degrading to women.
While I’m sure her abductor would have been a monster no matter what, I do have to say I agree with her stand.
Don't forget this is Jezebel where all sex work is sacred
I know this isn’t a really popular opinion outside of radical feminism but I think there should be a conversation about how early exposure to porn influences the way men see women. Namely, porn tends to treat female actresses like objects. I remember reading an article by a former porn actress who admitted that there…
