Sorry, but you are preaching to the swerf choir when you go on about how dangerous this job is. We know it’s dangerous, that’s why we want to abolish it. The difference between you and a swerf is that you think the free market magically makes women in this industry safe.
Right on! You tell those incarcerated women bigots to shut the fuck up! What do they know anyway?
The discussion of abuse within porn needs to extend beyond the performers but jezebel’s new sex industry lobbyist/reporter will never do that. Abusive porn is made because there’s a market for it, there’s a market for it because men are aroused by women in pain (women who consent to pain or enjoy pain just don’t…
Fun fact: the “enthusiastic consent” standard for all sexual interactions is inconsistent with support for the sex trade. Unless, of course, you’re a giant hypocrite!
I agree until you start talking about permanent medical interventions. Being a hippie or a punk didn’t sterilize the kids who tried on that identity.
Trust your instincts! Transgenderism is a fundamentally misogynist movement.
IT’S THE PORN, STUPID. Seriously, liberal third wave sex-positive feminists need to understand that this is the behavior of an addict. Any recovering addict will tell you that their addiction made them do horrible, shameful things. These men are watching insane amounts of increasingly violent porn while “feminist”…
If gender identity and the gender spectrum are simple concepts then why are you having such a hard time explaining them to me?
I have read a lot about gender identity and I am telling you it makes no sense to me. If it makes sense to you then my beliefs shouldn’t bother you so much.
Listen, I’m not angry with you. I haven’t called you stupid, or accused you of being an oppressor. I’ve asked you a question which you still haven’t answered. When you told me I was cisgendered I told you that I am not. You seem to think I’m insulted by being called that. Actually, I think it doesn’t make any sense.…
I don’t understand why it’s necessary for you to call me cisgendered when I have explicitly stated that I am not. I do not identify with the sex I was born into, I am the sex I was born into. Everyone is. And I have read a lot of third wave, sex-positive, male-appeasing feminist texts. They don’t make any sense.
If you’re going to accuse me of oppressing people on the gender spectrum you’re really going to have to tell me what a gender spectrum is. And please don’t call me cisgendered. I’m a woman. You are free to call yourself that, but I don’t have to.
People can identify as whatever they want. It doesn’t change the fact that females are oppressed due to their biology.
What is a gender spectrum? What kind of feminist am I if I think it’s a bullshit concept?
The tragedy of choice feminism is that people are arguing about a woman’s motivation to get a tummy tuck while the man who performed the tummy tuck is laughing all the way to the bank. I’m of the kind of feminism that says we should put that man out of business.
Criticizing violent, lucrative (for men) and exploitative industries does not equal criticizing individual choices.
Liberal second wave feminism? Give me a fucking break. Second wave feminism is radical. It explains precisely the behavior of these men. Watered-down, corporate, porn-loving third wave feminism that this site promotes is completely toothless and provides no solutions to the problem. I’d like to ask the writer of this…
That’s no surprise considering that women are conditioned to be turned on by their own sexual degradation.
The feminist case against porn, on the other hand, is precisely that it is an inherently exploitative and dangerous industry! It would be great if Jezebel wrote about that instead of trying to paint all anti-porn activists as conservative fundamentalists.
