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…

No. It’s a scientific issue.

Um I am pretty sure that was more about asking people not to uncritically eulogise a rapist because it was hurting rape victims, not an appeal to burn Bowie in effigy.

Take a look at Fallon Fox’s opinion of Rousey, though - she says it’s a bit more complex than just “she’s a transphobe”, because of who she is and who her mother is and things, and I think that’s important too.

If they’re naming it after events from their own lives, I might suggest “SWERF and TERF”.

You're right, everyone else is wrong, even to the point of lying about Game of Thrones in order to try and preserve their rightness. The quote is gross.

But you are one hundred percent wrong - that IS what Tyrion is, explicitly.

Um... Nope, Tyrion is a human and not any kind of fantasy race. There are no imaginary Dwarven races in Game of Thrones.

Monsters get good lawyers so that innocents get good lawyers.

Settling doesn’t imply guilt, but doesn’t imposing a gagging order about that settlement kind of imply guilt quite strongly?

You do get how terrible any argument that goes “for most of human history...” is, right? For most of human history we haven't had farmed crops or written language.

If it was staged, at some point during the planning stage someone said “what about the poor runner-up/victim of this trick” and someone else replied “are you kidding? She’ll be doing interviews for longer than the actual winner.”

I feel like it’s instant cause for recall if an elected representative doesn't realise we already have laws to stop dudes grabbing random breasts.

I have empirical fucking evidence that you’re wrong - i am in the 99.9th population centile for this stuff and I swear all the time. There are, quite simply, no synonyms for expletives, not even close ones.

Let’s turn this around - what age would you say is appropriate to sext seventeen year olds? Another way of asking - how much of the agency of seventeen year old women are we gonna deny, and at what age DOES a woman become a full person?

Um... It would also be legal if she was sixteen. The age you are looking for is fifteen, two years back.

You didn’t mention the thing where people try to prove themselves “better feminists than the bad feminists” by writing really long articles about how a few people are doing it wrong and this must generalise to the whole of feminism.

You are assuming that everyone gets your reference pool because it is socially hegemonic in the white male nerd circles you are used to/think represent the entire experience of life
