It takes a very special type of basement-dwelling cretin to insist on continuously moving the goalposts on what constitutes sexual assault. Your posts are frighteningly spot-on.

i refuse to believe in sexual assault until LITERALLY EVERY WOMAN ON EARTH TAKES A SURVEY

Everyone who loves Bjork seems to have forgotten/ is ignoring an interview Bjork gave for a 2015 issue of The Gentlewoman.

I am going to assume that your main problem with the film is that it perpetuates the narrative of women being ruined by sex. That the most valuable aspect of womanhood is “feminine virtue”, commonly conflated as celibacy and sexual purity. While I agree that this ideology is a systemic issue within our society, I…

or “totes empowering” depending on what kind of feminist you are, it seems. I’m with you though, men masturbating to women being raped is part of rape culture.

I find Jez’s view on pornography just so black-and-white and old-fashioned. To me, being sex-positive is so different from being porn-positive. I love sex, love talking about it and have no issues trying different things, but I dislike a majority of the mainstream porn out there. Mainly for the reasons it teaches guys…

My bf in college had no sexual experience except watching porn before we met, and when he finally had real sex he said he ‘preferred the fantasy of porn’. Needless to say it didn’t work out and he hasn’t had a relationship since (6 years) bc nothing compares to what he sees on the internet. It’s a sad addiction and…

I laugh at her attempts at suggestive weaponry. Ha!

This is a great comment. It’s sad that most young men learn about sex from porn which, in most cases, doesn’t even portray real sexual acts (most women don’t spontaneously orgasm from being jack hammered for 2 minutes and then thoroughly enjoy getting cum shot in their eyes) or worse, focuses on the humiliation of the…

So I watched the documentary and like most people was pretty disgusted. This is controversial, but isn’t it possible that *maybe* having all these videos online that boys watch that glorify women being raped or forced into performing various sexual acts desensitizes them to the ugly reality of sexual assault and *may*…

I totally agree. I read the new narrative on sex work and feminism and I cringe.

I’ve gone back and forth on how i feel about this subject, but this documentary really bothered me, especially the clips they showed from the forced blow job website. There is scene of the “Duke University Porn Star” being called a ‘feminatzi’ on camera and then receiving forceful oral sex to the point where she…

Here’s the thing that is always interesting to me about Jez’s coverage of porn: There’s always a defense of the industry and a statement that being in porn can be a great experience, etc. - even in an article like this one that in fact describes negative experiences had by many people. Yet in articles about sexual…

“Is anyone here a marine biologist?”

Porn is not inherently tied to exploitative labor practices, but the idea that it is—replicated by talent agents, producers, and documentaries alike—only strengthens that tie.

There’s no such thing as non-exploitative porn. There is such a thing as non-exploitative sex, but porn is a business.

And to trot out a…

Now THIS is a cool MOD. Even though I generally hate Dark Souls 1, I would certainly dive back in and give this MOD a try. Well done!

if some white person says that they “identify as black”, they are saying that they identify with black culture, which is not a monolith, first of all so that’s basically intrinsically offensive

You do realize the logical problem with this, right? If “black culture” isn’t a monolith, you’re arguing that “femininity” or “womanhood” (or “masculinity” or “manhood”) is, something we know is categorically not true. No, I’m not trolling (but I’m sure I’ll be accused of it), but the analogies are actually pretty on…

Meat went from this “every so often as a treat” thing to a daily staple and it’s wrecked us. It’s not good for us at all. I try to have meatless days but then it’s mostly pasta and salad.
