“shrill” – defined as “the rising shrill of women’s voices”– and “psyche” – for which the example sentence is, “I will never really fathom the female psyche”. “Grating”, defined as “sounding harsh and unpleasant”, was illustrated with the phrase “her high, grating voice”, while the adjective “nagging” used the…

It’s been a bit nippy on both coasts I see.

Fuck yeah. I love this.

woosh.

Right, I always fuck up and forget that feminism is like, really, like just about choice?

Yeah, I’ve held my tongue about this issue for the 10+ years I’ve been on this site but no more. As a second wave feminist, porn isn’t empowering, it isn’t cool and it sucks to me. Yes, it’s my personal opinion and many disagree with me. That’s fine. To those people, tell me how gang bang, choking and bukkake are…

Hmmmm, this is very strange. The porn industry has traditionally put the safety and wellbeing of women above all else. It’s hard to think of another billion dollar + industry that cares more about women and girls, about consent, about objectification. I am really shocked. I know that it may be hard, but perhaps…

I appreciate that there is a typical, “wrong time, wrong circumstances” abortion story included here. While dramatic partner abuse or fetal abnormality stories are valid, they are often the only types of stories offered in support of abortion. The vast majority of abortions are for women who are accidentally pregnant…

It’s not all that different than “pro-lifers” in more developed countries. Pregnancy is something that happens to women and is solely women’s fault, so if they don’t want to get pregnant, they need to stop being such dirty sluts and never have sex in any context except explicitly for procreation. But it’s alsio…

Well, maybe they’ll at least help women get improved access to birth control?

I’m in my 50s. I have so many stories of how women had to go through hell to get an abortion or birth control and what happened when they couldn’t get one or both.

It is especially fucked when you compare how much work Gillian has done since X-Files ended compared to what David has done. Woman has worked her ass off and deserves to be paid accordingly, for both experience and keeping her name out in front of the public. David was in Californiacation, and that’s about it.

Rubio demonstrating alternatives to intercourse in an abstinence-only sex ed class?

As opposed to all those other pro-life advisory boards that are full of intelligent and reasonable people... :P

The link to the Des Moines Register includes a picture of someone holding a baby/fetus replica. The reason I’m not sure if it’s a baby or a fetus is because the caption reads, emphasis mine,“Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina looks on as Jenifer Bowen with Iowa Right to Life holds up an example of a 26-mon…

They don’t care about making positive changes. They thrive on using women. They thrive on not caring. Do you think most guys within the industry or the male consumers will be interested in “feminist porn”? They hate feminism. They don’t even know what it is. Most guys love porn in which the woman is humiliated and…

So when does Stoya start raking in all that sweet, sweet, rape accuser money I keep hearing so much about?

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…
