How about blocking THE BRIDE in this pic, with her bridesmaids?!!

Bad idea, Hillary. Justin doesn’t ever miss a chance to make things all about him, no matter how stupid he looks. The guy is a grade A level attention whore. Every single photo from the fundraiser will be something like this (replace Jessica with Hillary):

I admit, I find it really hard to be cool with the porn industry (especially the growing pro-am porn industry) because of a human trafficking case I did some work on as a legal intern where women from Latin American countries were forced into this stuff. Nasty, facial abuse and slur stuff. There’s a lot to the…

Even “safe” and consensual porn is often somewhat problematic, though. Firstly, of course, most of it is made from a male perspective, and so naturally the male in the average straight porn video is the character we’re expected to empathise with, while the women are there to satisfy him sexually, and are more…

I liked your nuanced response. Porn didn’t create sex crimes or a misogynistic society, and banning it wouldn’t fix those problems. Violent porn and its high level of popularity are a symptom, not a cause, of the root issue.

Yep. My point is that kids are exposed to (often violent) porn and we don’t know what the consequences of that might be so making claims like *porn is harmless* without having anything to back it up is stupid at best and dangerous at worst.

Is it though? I don’t mind porn once in awhile but I looked at a free site (pornhub?) the other day and the majority of it was professional but almost all of it was fairly rough, definitely not showing women in the best light. It kinda grosses me out tbh. And they look so young! I’ll stick to dirty stories but I can’t…

Where did you get this statistic that the “vast majority” of pornography is fully consensual (i.e. free of coercion by any means) and safe?

Well said. All we can do is speak from our own experiences. Some people have good experiences with porn, some people have bad experiences. Both are valid and neither should be silenced, IMO.

There are many Worlds of Porn. Some are absolutely dangerous to women — those women who appear in them and those whose male [boyfriends, captors, rapists, stepfathers, uncles et al.] are “inspired” by them. People getting off as consensual adults is the best case scenario of porn, but it’s sure as fuck not the only…

Why just worry about boys? Women watching porn would also theoretically be internalized to believe that they were lesser, etc.

Lol vast majority 😂

Lol right so the lobby is using her because she can’t have a voice or opinion of her own? God forbid anyone criticize sex work on Jezebel. 🙄🙄🙄

It is shocking how bright and articulate she is, especially given what she went through. She seems to have gotten very capable help, which is wonderful. I’m glad she is able to live a normal life. She’s certainly got an excuse for struggling, but she doesn’t appear to be.

Genuine question, do you think that boys can be both raised to respect all women and be raised on porn at the same time?

No, it isn’t. She would have to look into charities and decide which one or ones she wants to donate to. That takes time, not a DAY.

If this story is true, Katie Holmes deserves all of the applause, credit, and mom awards on the planet for extricating herself and her child from her powerful husband and his overbearing cult and then continuing to protect her from them.

I for one welcome our new Univision overlords and would like to remind them that with my passing knowledge of a little bit of high school Spanish I could be instrumental in recruiting other commenters to work in their sugar mines. `

So Univision bought Gawker yesterday for $135 M. For perspective, Denton valued GM at $250 M last year, and Univision recently paid $200 M for 40% of The Onion. Ouch.

katie holmes remains the best- protecting suri from that cult
