One time a 70 year old math professor from Baruch aggressively hit on me at a bar once, and then called me a slut to two male Baruch students nearby after I rejected him. That's all I think of when I hear about Baruch College.

I'm not saying don't watch it, like, it's pretty obvious a boycott of porn is not a feasible solution. But it's still good to be aware of what you're consuming, and hold it accountable. And I mean, there are other ways to get off outside of porn, too. Your own imagination goes on endlessly inward, and porn is pretty…

I mean, even if those few quotes by ex porn stars are the ONLY incidents throughout the whole industry (which they all heavily imply is not the case at all), that should still be enough to consider the industry fucked up! How many rapes is enough rapes to call it fucked up? Is there a quota of rapes they have to reach…

You openly acknowledge that the industry as it stands contributes to the rape of women, how is that not enough for you? I don't disagree with your argument that porn is not, in theory, necessarily problematic. But the CURRENT REALITY of porn as an industry, as told by the people directly involved in it, is rampant…

The content is overwhelming skewed towards those subjects, and that is not a normal reflection of healthy sexual behavior, like, you can cry kink shaming until the end of time, but that doesn't excuse those being the dominant images in mainstream pornography. It implies that normal sex is humiliation, domination and…

I just literally gave you the words out of the mouths of those women. The ex porn stars all saying they felt humiliated, raped and abused. What other evidence do you need?

If you'd like some evidence, read this: http://thisisrapeculture.tumblr.com/post/548528230…

The article isn't just about people who don't clean. It's about people who don't clean for gendered reasons. Which is where the asshole part comes in.

Again, none of those things is a daily task.

That's just because children are naturally creative. It doesn't mean the toy supports creativity. I have seen children get imaginative with dirt and rocks, too. That doesn't mean dirt and rocks are good toys.

It doesn't really give me any satisfaction whatsoever because I don't really care what you do, since I don't know you. But you solicited my opinion about your porn watching for some reason, so there it is. I watch porn sometimes, too, mostly gay porn, but in a lot of ways (particularly with lesbian porn) it can be…

Also, you're not arguing for fighting against the association. You're arguing for just outright ignoring it, and hoping everyone else is on the same page. You can't fight against the over-sexualization of women without being more discerning about what images you give to children. Children don't know about sex…

We're not talking about children's clothes, we're talking about a toy's clothes — the toy is not shaped like a child, it represents an older girl. Of course children wearing any type of clothes is not sexual, they are children. I'm not saying kids shouldn't wear bathing suits. You're the one who has equated…

The current porn industry is full of abuse, humiliation, degradation and rape, so yeah. If you can prove that the porn you're watching wasn't created in that kind of environment, fine. If not, you're participating in a shitty thing, yes. I wouldn't "shame" you for it, but I'm not about to congratulate you either.

Some of the outfits are obviously meant to be "sexy" —not all of them, but some, at least in the image within the article. Mini skirts and midriff bearing tops are mature, sexualized clothing. Just acknowledging that is not slut shaming. The point is that the toy is literally just choosing between clothes. There's no…

I think the main point she was getting at was that this is a doll marketed toward little girls, and that's the problem with it. The author probably could have stopped there, you're right, and didn't need to call Polly Pocket a prostitute (that's a completely dumb comment, not worth defending at all), but the point is…

The point I was making with that statement is that I have noticed that there seems to be a reflex on this website to call any criticism of sexual images of women "slut shaming" — I think this is a terrible tendency that apologizes for objectification, commodification, oppressive gender roles and stereotypes all under…

All of that would be true if we lived in a world where images of women weren't skewed sexually to begin with. We could assume that Polly Pocket is just dressing for the weather if we lived in a world where various different, healthy images of women were widely seen, but we don't. We live in a world where the…

Fine, she has a story. I'm not guessing it's a moving tale of adventure and bravery, but who knows. The point is I wouldn't buy this garbage for my kid, and the most common argument in the comment sections seems to be "don't slut shame the doll!" which is absurd to me, but the kind of reflexive argument I see here all…

Just because girls can rise above this stuff, doesn't mean we should just accept toys like this. If a toy is sexist and unimaginative, you should not buy it for your child. A toy that limits playtime to "choosing sexy outfits" for Polly Pocket (a character with no story, by the way, basically just an empty rubber…
