“I am simply saying that much of the pornography in the United States records scenes of women being hurt and humiliated; that men masturbate to orgasm to those images; and that those men are not deviants but are acting on the cultural norms that are widely taught. And I am suggesting that these facts should matter to us; they should scare us.”

right on!

It’s scary how much we accept the dehumanization of women as perfectly normal.

Have you read The Second Sex? That book smacked me upside the head with its devastating analysis of how men are considered the default sex (despite numerical evidence to the contrary), and women are considered some weird variation – to all kinds of evil consequences, naturally.

keep on with these entries! they rock!

Thanks

I got a bit carried away on this one. Porn has become such a big part of mainstream society that it’s difficult to articulate disagreement with any of it without sounding like a prude or someone who doesn’t want free speech. I’m not saying ban certain kinds of porn, or don’t look at porn, or even that something is wrong with you if you like porn. There are as many different types of porn as there are feminists (ha, never thought I’d type that sentence). I don’t agree with a blanket condemnation.

I think not this thing is the biggest problem but

this: those women are doing this volunteered. They like to do this because they get very much money for this, they feel like they are doing something really great and superhuman and they are sex goddesses, dreams of men, etc. We know that they are just pathetic persons but they think their selfs great. So, as long as these kinds of women are existing (and they will exist forever), there’s nothing to do with porn. In porn women are treated like objects and they get f%!”cked very hard, so hard that no women could enjoy it. But it’s spectacular and this is what matters there. The men really enjoy these scenes, that’s it. And the biggest problem of all: men who are watching porn very often think that this is the only way to have a good sex, that there’s no need to be gentle or caring, every woman wants only to be f%cked really hard and that’s the only thing they enjoy and they are very surprised if somebody don’t want to swallow it or doesn’t like anal sex and so on. My mother is a teacher and I am often with children and I am really scared on what I see. 9-10 years old children are pretending to be these kinds of porn stars, they act like them, they seduce children, there was a situation when 13 years old girls were competing on who can give more blowjob in a week(of course, swallowing it); and on a trip 10 years old children went to a SIX year old boy and wanted to seduce him I know many stories like these…This is really dangerous thing, isn’t it? (I know my grammar is not perfect but I hope you understood me:) )
