A few months ago, there was a really strong and strange (to me) critique of the movie Hot Girls Wanted for shining a light on an aspect of the porn industry that is very woman un-friendly. The article read to me like it was accusing the documentary producers of taking a hardline, anti-porn stand, which I don’t think…

There’s also something creepy about the subtle “accidental pregnancies may make some childfree-by-choicers someone embrace motherhood” message. Sure, it’s true for some, but overall, isn’t giving women as much control over what happens to their body as possible for the best?

A thousand times this. I’m super happy an accidental pregnancy turned out ok for a reasonably well-off white woman. For most of us, an accidental pregnancy would really fuck us over; physically, financially, and mentally.

Thank you. This wonderful “industry” literally high-fived him for raping a woman in front of them.

The porn industry has been shifting toward increasingly violent, misogynistic simulations of rape and abuse over the past few decades under the umbrella of “gonzo.” I think anyone with eyes can see that. And the most durable justification for this trend was that this was all entirely consensual, and that the female…

Really? Because I was just thinking the entire industry and everyone who ever hired him should be deeply ashamed that this alleged serial predator was given free range to abuse, assault and harass his co-workers on set for so long with no repercussions. He himself said in a previous interview that many female…

Fuck the porn industry! Everyone knew this—another open secret. He was apparently making women bleed on camera and getting away with it for years. The only reason ANYTHING is happening is Stoya—and that’s only because she has $$ and power in porn herself, which in itself is unusual for a woman. Rape in porn seems to…

Half of the allegations are about rapes that happened not just on set, but on tape. Given that those women got no support and in at least one case got yelled at for ruining the scene by crying, I’m not exactly ready to applaud the industry’s response.

Fuck everyone in this “sex positive” industry who knew this clown was a problem. Fuck you all, and fuck all y’all consumers of James Deen’s baby-faced ridiculousness.

I’m sorry, I don’t agree with you. Unless you can back up your assertions with something more than your say-so.

Right on. This “I choose my choice” brand of feminism is perfectly unhelpful. Nobody is saying you’re not allowed to like what you like, but when they suggest that maybe you like something that you wouldn’t like had it not been for the toxic culture you’ve soaked up since birth, they’re not passing judgement on you as…

And she had a great line of “I don’t judge individuals but let’s say I am suspicious of how many dudes have fantasies that align perfectly with existing patriarchal norms.”

He’s a man, and he’s a man tasked with illustrating male fantasies for men. Are you not surprised?

I was with you until the last bit. That is such a horrible, massive generalization that has no bit of merit to it.

Liberal feminists, and those practicing other forms of non-radical, utterly male-appeasing feminism.

He does learn her language. Hence the scene in the restaurant where he speaks in broken Portuguese to her and she replies in English.

Dude.

I would so rather be cold than sweating my ass off. I love winter!

Technically we’re back on the “natural” time clock now; the springing forward is the “artificial” jump to give more daylight hours. I hate springing forward.
