Thank you. As you can see in the responses I got, most of the ladies around here don't get it.

For the sake of simplicity, this is a cut and paste from a reply I gave to someone else:
Because you assume that I didn't understand that this particular porn star is saying her work is not pro-feminist?
I did read the article, and I'm not disagreeing with anything this particular porn star says. I'm disagreeing with the scores of lady commenters defending porn (and its twin sister prostitution) in the comments.
I don't care enough about porn to actively seek out the feminist, woman-empowering stuff (I'm sure it's there). And I'm not worried about porn's effects on my fully developed sexuality and views on myself and women. On the other hand, those 12-year old boys are ALSO not seeking out feminist porn, and they will turn…
Please let me know what I wrote, specifically, that condemns porn stars. I didn't disagree with a thing that Stoya said. If you haven't noticed, there are scores of lady commenters defending porn (and its twin sister, prostitution) as pro feminist. Those are the ones I disagree with.
I love that Jezebel is so pro-pornography. Spit on women! Fuck them up the ass! Cum up their nose! Gag them with your dick! Double team and triple team them with your bros, laughing the whole time! All messages that will undoubtedly teach those 12 year old boys watching online that the patriarchy and rape culture are…
No one but Jezebel cares about this movie.
"There are reasons why you shouldn't allow your fans to dictate your creative choices, chief among them being that most of us are neither talented nor imaginative enough to decide what should or shouldn't happen in a plot."
Holy SHIT this is a long post with a lot of attention paid to a movie that no one would know ANYTHING about without the Gawker network. I would need to get paid a lotttttt of money to be willing to watch, and then type this many words about, something this devoid of any type of worth.
I hear what you are saying, but he seems to imply that if it wasn't for fear of reinforcing the "ABM" stereotype, he would have angrily put the girls in their place in some way that would have been perceived to some as being an ABM. So if he's tempted to engage in a discussion (or at least in a confrontation) on race,…
I'm really hoping Jezebel or Gawker captures this moment and shares it with us, because God knows I will not be watching the rest of the season of Big Brother just in the hopes of seeing that one moment.
Okay, somebody please explain to me why he had to choose between "quietly taking it so as not to be seen as the angry black man" and "losing his temper and going off on the racist assholes"? Why couldn't he have calmly and rationally called them out for being racist assholes, and thus accomplish BOTH making them look…
We go way back to the old school, brother.
How can baseball still defend using umps with no technological back-up? Every local sports affiliate now has a "strike tracker" that instantly calls balls and strikes - no subjective strike zone, no blown calls, just an objective truth. Umpires would still have a role (dictating pace of the game, making the obvious…
Wrong answer. Those women being triple penetrated and spat on are empowered, can't you see? And a shining example of human sexuality for children, too...
BS. The city has been walking itself down this road for decades and would never have worked its way out. For two recent examples, look at 1) how they kicked Mike Duggan out of the mayoral race on a technicality and 2) the city council couldn't even accept a GIFT from the state of Michigan who offered to lease Belle…
I got out of Detroit long ago, as do most talented people with good educations. Many Michigan and Michigan State students plan on walking that procession off stage and straight to Chicago. I've still got friends and family there, and it's still "home," but this is not a surprise. The city has mismanaged itself for too…
Make fun of her all you like but she deserves props for this.
I posted a similar sentiment on Gawker and the post was dismissed, I'm assuming by the author. This story is a page click bonanza for Gawker Media and they are milking it for all they can.
