coming out as a lesbian & being asked if you’ve ever dated a man is such a catch 22 cause you know if you say yes they’re gonna think you’re open to fucking men but you just “chose” women after having a bad experience with a man or something but if you say no they’re gonna tell you there’s no way you can know for sure if you haven’t tried being with a man. ladies tell me if this is a reach but i almost feel like the core tenet of lesbophobia is that no one sees lesbianism as a real identity & everyone thinks it’s impossible for women to not be attracted to men
‘To you, my Father, who do you hate girls? With the same hatred you hate our Mothers…’
In the village of Umoja in Kenya, men are not welcome. In fact, they are banned. In Swahili, one of Kenya’s official languages, Umoja means unity. It is a safe and inspirational refuge for 50 women and 200 children. Umoja was founded in 1990 by female survivors of rape and sexual violence. It has also become a haven for women fleeing sexual and domestic violence, and welcomes people fleeing female genital mutilation, child marriage, and more.
‘I wouldnt wish any Maasai girl to go through what I went through.’
The local Samburu culture is patriarchal where historically women are seen as property. Beading is culturally significant and the women are able to support themselves by selling crafts. Protected by a wall of thorns, the village is self-sufficient and the women run their own lives. Despite resistance from local male-run tribal groups, the village continues to grow. Life is frugal, but the women own the land the village is on and proudly call Umoja their home. A beacon of light for women, Umoja has inspired other women-only villages in Kenya.

They are making and selling jewelry online now! ☺☺

Oh fuck I want the jewelry. That’s gonna be gifted to everyone come holiday season.
Welp time to buy some jewelry
I can’t help but wonder if they’re intersectional enough to accept trans women or AMAB non-binary people. Cause if they’ll turn you away for having a dick then they need to work on some things.
^ That’s the whitest comment I’ve ever seen on anything ever. Take your weird neoliberal colonial gender nonsense and take a fucking hike.
You Are Like Other Girls
That hyper feminine girl who loves makeup? She hates her natural face, she feels ignored without wearing it, she is looking for a way to get positive attention from people because humans are social animals and we require it to survive.
That super sugary sweet girl who lets herself get pushed around? She was policed in to that behavior. She is terrified of how people will react if she speaks her mind. She has seen the way girls with strong opinions that differ from the male consensus are called bitches. She doesn’t want to be a bitch.
That girl who says she loves cooking and cleaning? It’s the only way she’s ever achieved a sense of accomplishment. It’s the main thing she was encouraged to get good at doing.
Women who conform to what’s expected of us don’t do it because they were born with “correct” femininity receptors in their brains. We are all doing our best to survive in a patriarchal society, we are all reacting to the environments of our homes, our social circles, our communities.
We are all born as blank slates, and we make our choices on how to behave based on the consequences we are offered and how prepared we are to accept those consequences. We learn what to expect from certain behaviors from observing what happens to those who commit those behaviors, or from being behaviorally reinforced ourselves.
It is more difficult to behave socially out of line than it is to behave socially in line.
Teenagers are right when they call each other “fake” for performing femininity. Because deep down they know the truth, that such behavior is a performance of a societal role, rather than an expression of genuine humanity.
As children we all paint our faces in a wide variety of ways. When children paint their faces, they are expressing joy and creativity. As we get older, we paint our faces to blend in or to attract positive social attention or to express belonging to a subculture (like goth makeup). Our creativity gets cut up in to bite size pieces to fit in to a social sphere. This doesn’t happen because we are born to behave this way, it happens because of the chain of events of our lives.
No human being is born to exist as subservient or meek, no human being is born for the purpose of serving others. No human being is born to be a sacrifice.
Women are human beings. Every woman and girl is a human being.
Every girl you have looked at and thought to yourself, “she’s one of those girls that are nothing like me” is exactly like you, because she is human, because she is a female human existing in the same world as you, under the same pressures as you, and she is doing her best with what she’s got, just like you.
We are all the “other girls” to someone else because men write the narrative of what womanhood means, and as that is the only narrative offered to us, we learn it. We are indoctrinated in to a role of self hatred–which develops in us a hatred of the class we belong to.
Deep down, every woman’s heart beats with the hope of liberation.
Girls, when you’re feeling sad, just remember:
a vagina can go back to it’s original size after taking something 20x its size
a penis will end up looking like an empty potato sack that’s been run over quite a lot if it does
You can do this girl.
Be as resilient as your vagina.
Shine bright like a ‘gina
THIS IS THE MOST UPLIFTING POST
This is the most amazing thing I’ve ever read.
Tumblr can be so interesting sometimes…
How about instead of saying “girls” and then facts about genitals, you say “people”. Because not all women have vaginas. So by trying to put down penises, you are potentially hurting a woman with a penis.
anyway women and girls be strong and shine bright like your gina
boohoo
Women don’t have penises 😘
How the fuck are we “putting down penises” lmfao??? Celebrating vaginas is not putting down penises you fucking narcissists lmfao.
“ a penis will end up looking like an empty potato sack that’s been run over quite a lot if it does “ this is the most exclusionary TERF shit.. its blatant violence that opens up trans women to being assaulted and murdered.. that’s what eclusion does.. stop acting like the blood is not on YOUR hand
Of course blood is on our hands.
Menstruating is a messy business, which you’d know, if you were female.
But you mean the purely metaphorical blood… of what, trans women who are assaulted by other men?
Take it up with the testicle-havers.
Literally, the penis will not recover from taking anything 20x its size. That’s not putting it down so much as stating a fact.
This is being called violence… I’m fucking WHEEZING…This is why I have this url lol.
Yes, cuz men that buy sex from prostitutes, you know the one who are responsable for trans woman deaths, are listening to us and clearly are influenced by this phrase
anyways, i hope this pussy oppresses trans women as much as she can 💕 you go queen
The men are upset again
“A penis can’t take something 20x it’s size”
That’s transphobic violence? Would you like to give birth through your dick because that sounds a lot more violent to me.
You killed me with that last line.
Thank you, my gyn
it’s violence to say penises can’t get fucked but it’s not literal violence to talk about raping and killing TERFs!
anyway be as resilient as your vagina, sis :)
"hello! Welcome to pornhub head office do you have an a-"
it is disgusting to be alive in america right now. what have they told us? “let them eat cake” comes out of the mouths of every other politician. we are told to send kids back to school, that only their friends will die, and their teachers, and maybe you. we are told to just find another job in the middle of a hiring freeze and massive unemployment. we are told that healthcare is a privilege while being encouraged to “be smart” about covid. we are told to move somewhere else if the rent is too high. to just grow more vegetables if food is running thin. to spend less on coffee. if you don’t like it, they assure us, the problem is you. america is the land of opportunity! there are a million ways for you to be taken advantage of, and we will blame you for all of them.
jeff besos could end world hunger, could help yemen, could pay his employees an actual wage - and still be the richest man in history. the police continue to open fire on protesters, but the media has moved on. citizens are kidnapped by federal officers. children are in cages. flint still doesn’t have clean water. disney, gleefully paying minimum wage, happily opens to crowds.
i click on another article where another rich white man tells us to simply be brave and to be proud when we are afraid and dying and aware we are being mulched for profit. there is a parable, somewhere, about what happens when the wolves are starved but the mayor has hundreds of sheep.
i am getting hungrier and hungrier. and there is no more bread to eat.
Career politicansno matter the aisle are nothing but a danger to you and what you hold dear. Billionaires won’t do shit until threatened with their life or massive massive amounts of wealth.You have to rely on yourself and your community for change and support
Update from the man himself
The Porn Guy aka The Nice Guy aka The Canadian side of Pornhub aka SFW Pornhub’s REAL NAME is Ryan Creamer. No joke, that is legit his real name.
Also this.
Which led him to this.
Bless this man.
wow this is heartwarming. next maybe he should make an encouraging video for all the women and girls who are struggling to get videos of themselves being raped or molested removed from the site, while pornhub profits from leaving videos of the assaults up as long as possible and maximizing the number of people who see it. good vibes 💕
“A kiss may be grand, but it won’t pay the rental, on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.”
Like literally the most famous song about how much girls love jewellry is just explaining the importance of getting jewellry for when your partner leaves you penniless and alone.
The founder of Girl Scouting in the US, Juliette Gordon Low, funded her first troop by selling her pearl necklace, which was her only belonging after her husband died and left everything to his mistress.
She founded Girl Scouts to teach girls self-sufficiency so they wouldn’t have to go through what she went through when her husband died and she didn’t know how to take care of herself.
i don’t like when men talk about megan fox
Yeah because you can totally tell how smart I am based on my opinion that porn is okay vs your opinion that is isn't. You're what's wrong with feminism; making men evil no matter what and women are always innocent victims who can't make choices for themselves. Because porn stars are totally forced to shoot videos and none of them have EVER quit the industry, right? Oh wait they have.
gonna need to pull your head out of your ass to read this one buddy

Ex-porn star testimonies:
Corina Taylor: ”When I arrived to the set I expected to do a vaginal girl boy scene. But during the scene with a male porn star, he forced himself anally into me and would not stop. I yelled at him to stop and screamed ‘No’ over and over but he would not stop. The pain became too much and I was in shock and my body went limp.”
Jenna Jameson: ”Most girls get their first experience in gonzo films – in which they’re taken to a crappy studio apartment in Mission Hills and penetrated in every hole possible by some abusive asshole who thinks her name is Bitch.”
Alexa James: ”The first shoot I did was with a man who was probably 40 and he was as thick as a soda can. He held me down and shoved it in me with no lube tearing my vagina. When I started to tear up and cry he flipped me over and continued from behind be so they wouldn’t get me crying on film. He pulled my hair and choked me over and over again even when I told him it hurt and I could barely breathe.”
Linda Lovelace: ”My initiation into prostitution was a gang rape by five men, arranged by Mr. Traynor. It was the turning point in my life. He threatened to shoot me with the pistol if I didn’t go through with it. I had never experienced anal sex before and it ripped me apart. They treated me like an inflatable plastic doll, picking me up and moving me here and there. They spread my legs this way and that, shoving their things at me and into me, they were playing musical chairs with parts of my body. I have never been so frightened and disgraced and humiliated in my life. I felt like garbage. I engaged in sex acts for pornography against my will to avoid being killed.The lives of my family were threatened.”
Andi Anderson: ”After a year or so of that so-called “glamorous” life, I sadly discovered that drugs and drinking were a part of the lifestyle. I began to drink and party out of control! Cocaine, alcohol and ecstasy were my favorites. Before long, I turned into a person I did not want to be. After doing so many hardcore scenes I couldn’t do it anymore. I just remember being in horrible situations and experiencing extreme depression and being alone and sad.”
Alexa Milano: ”My first movie I was treated very rough by 3 guys. They pounded on me, gagged me with their penises, and tossed me around like I was a ball! I was sore, hurting and could barely walk. My insides burned and hurt so badly. I could barely pee and to try to have a bowel movement was out of the question. I was hurting so bad from the physical abuse from these 3 male porn stars.”
Jessie Jewels: ”People in the porn industry are numb to real life and are like zombies walking around. The abuse that goes on in this industry is completely ridiculous. The way these young ladies are treated is totally sick and brainwashing. I left due to the trauma I experienced even though I was there only a short time.”
Genevieve: ”I had bodily fluids all over my face that had to stay on my face for ten minutes. The abuse and degradation was rough. I sweated and was in deep pain. On top of the horrifying experience, my whole body ached, and I was irritable the whole day. The director didn’t really care how I felt; he only wanted to finish the video.”
Jersey Jaxin: ”Guys punching you in the face. You have semen from many guys all over your face, in your eyes. You get ripped. Your insides can come out of you. It’s never ending.”
Elizabeth Rollings: ”I didn’t want to feel the pain of penetration from an over average sized man, being told to freeze in a position until the camera man was happy with his shots was very painful. I had peoples body fluids forced on my face or anywhere else the producer pleased and I had to accept it or else no pay. Sometimes you would get to a gig and the producer would change what the scene was supposed to be to something more intense and again if you didn’t like it, too bad, you did it or no pay.”
Lucky Starr: ”I was worried about my first anal scene for quite a few days … then the big moment arrived. It REALLY hurt! I almost quit and said, “I can’t do this”. When it was all over, I was so happy and relieved I was able to do it…”
Ashlyn Brooke: ”I honestly felt that if I had to have another strange man in my face, his hands (God knows where they’ve been all over me) him calling me his baby and having to exude some sort of forged passion for the world to see, I probably would have exploded. And what would have been stuck to the walls would have probably been nothing, just pieces of skin, bone, the brain of a robot, and what would have been left of what would have existed once as a huge and warm heart.”
Roxy: ”After only 30 movies I caught two sexually transmitted diseases. Herpes, a non-curable disease and HPV, which led to cervical cancer where I had to have half of my cervix removed. Porn destroyed my life.”
Anita Cannibal: ”Yeah, there are a lot of cover-ups going on. There is a lot of tragedy. There are a lot of horrible things.”
Tamra Toryn: ”As for myself, I ended up paying the price from working in the porn industry. In 2006, not even 9 months in, I caught a moderate form of dysplasia of the cervix (which is a form of HPV, a sexually transmitted disease) and later that day, I also found out I was pregnant. I had only 1 choice which was to abort the baby during my first month. It was extremely painful emotionally and physically. When it was all over, I cried my eyes out.”
Jessi Summers: ”I also did a scene where I was put with male talent that was on my no list. I wanted to please them so I did it. He put his foot on my head and stepped on it while he was doing me from behind. I freaked out and started balling; they stopped filming and sent me home with reduced pay since they got some shot but not the whole sce
porn trends:
“teen” is the most commonly searched porn term
child pornography is one of the fastest growing businesses online.
how pornographers feel about women:
“I’d like to really show what I believe the men want to see: violence against women. I firmly believe that we [pornographers] serve a purpose by showing that. The most violent we can get is the cum shot in the face. Men get off behind that, because they get even with the women they can’t have. We try to inundate the world with orgasms in the face.” - Bill Margold, porn industry veteran, quoted in Robert J. Stoller and I. S. Levine, Coming Attractions: The Making of an X-rated video; 1993.
“There’s nothing I love more than when a girl insists to me that she won’t take a cock in her ass, because — oh yes she will!” -Max Hardcore, interviewed in Hustler (June 1995).
“My whole reason for being in this Industry is to satisfy the desire of the men in the world who basically don’t much care for women and want to see the men in my Industry getting even with the women they couldn’t have when they were growing up. I strongly believe this… so we come on a woman’s face or somewhat brutalize her sexually: we’re getting even for their lost dreams. I believe this. I’ve heard audiences cheer me when I do something foul on screen. When I’ve strangled a person or sodomized a person, or brutalized a person, the audience is cheering my action, and then when I’ve fulfilled my warped desire, the audience applauds.” - Bill Margold, porn industry veteran and Free Speech Coalition board member.
“It might promote violence against women in the United States, but I say, ‘Good.’ I hate those bitches. They’re out of line and that’s one of the reasons I want to do this … I’m going through a divorce right now. … I hate American women.” - What pornographers really think of women (Deutsche Presse-Agentur, 14 October 1999)
2010 study on popular porn films:
88% of scenes contained physical aggression, including spanking, gagging, and slapping.
Women were overwhelmingly the targets of aggressive acts, and men the perpetrators.
Following instances of aggression towards women, in 95% of cases the women expressed pleasure or neutrality.
cases of porn leading children to commit sexual assualt IN THE UK ALONE:
February 2014: A 13-year-old boy told a UK court that he raped his 8-year-old sister after viewing pornography at his friend’s house. The teenager told police he “decided to try it out” on his sister because she was small and “couldn’t remember stuff,” reported the Lancashire Telegraph.
November 2013: A different 13-year old UK boy pleaded guilty to raping an eight-year old girlwhen he was 10. A pornography addiction since age 9 was said to have played a significant role in his crimes.
March 2013: Two boys aged 14 and 15 admitted to a British court that they were re-enacting scenes witnessed in violent online pornography when they beat, brutalized, then raped a 14-year-old girl they had tied to a chair.
March 2013: A UK report found that thousands of British children had committed sexual offenses. In all, 4,562 minors – some as young as five – committed 5,028 sexual offenses over a three year period from 2009-2012. Experts blamed “easy access to sexual material.”
January 2012: Children’s aid and sex abuse organizations in Australia largely blamed 414 cases of children sexually abusing other children on the explosion of pornography made accessible to children.
August 2012: A 13-year-old Canadian boy pleaded guilty to repeatedly raping a 4-year-old boy who lived in his foster home. The boy said the idea came from watching “gay porn” on his foster parents’ home computer.
April 2012: A child therapist reported a case of a 13-year-old boy who raped his 5-year-old sisterafter developing a “complex fantasy world” warped by “two years of constant porn use.”
racism in porn:
Latinos and Hispanics: Pornography tends to stereotype Hispanic women as feisty, “hot and spicy Latinas”, sexy Señoritas, with a high sex drive and low impulse control. Many are portrayed as maids, illegal immigrants to the United States, or unfaithful wives. Since Latinos and Hispanics can be of any race (many are white Hispanic Americans, Mestizos etc.), cultural characteristics are sometimes portrayed via iconic items like South and Central American national costumes, sombreros, maracas, or Mexican dresses.
Asian women: Are viewed as sexually willing or submissive. Asian men are hardly portrayed in pairing with white women and not as common compared to white men with asian women porn. Asian women are mainly portrayed as the: “Dragon Ladies”, as servile “Lotus Blossom Babies”, “Innocent School Girls” in private school uniforms, “China dolls”, “Geisha girls”, war brides, or prostitutes. Japanese media have also at times sensationalistically promoted the stereotype of Japanese women overseas as “yellow cabs”.
Black performers: Large penis size in Black men is consistently emphasized in pornography, often by exclusively casting actors with larger than average penises such as Lexington Steele, Kid Bengala, Jack Napier and Mandingo. Men are often treated to stereotypes of gang affiliation, working class labor, and are overrepresented in gang rape fetish films. Also, they are represented as overly aggressive and demanding, and are performing with white women. Similarly, black women are often portrayed with large breast and buttocks, or ‘booty’. They normally play a submissive role while performing with a white male.
Kid’s access to pornography:
Youth who look at violent x-rated material are six times more likely to report forcing someone to do something sexual online or in-person versus youth not exposed to x-rated material. [12]
Middle-school aged boys who view X-rated content are almost three times more likely to report oral sex and sexual intercourse than boys who do not use sexually explicit material[13]
A study in the southeastern U.S. found that 53 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls (ages 12-15) reported use of sexually explicit media. The Internet was the most popular forum for viewing. [14]
The words “sex” and “porn” rank fourth and sixth among the top ten most popular search terms. [15]
Roughly two-thirds (67 percent) of young men and one-half (49 percent) of young women agree that viewing pornography is acceptable.[7]
Nearly 9 out of 10 (87 percent) young men and 1 out of 3 (31 percent) young women report using pornography.[8]
Experts have warned that the rise in the viewing of pornography was implicated in a variety of problems, including a rise in the levels of STDs and teenage pregnancies. Additionally, males aged between 12 and 17 who regularly viewed pornography had sex at an earlier stage in life and were more likely to initiate oral sex, apparently imitating what they had seen. [9] [10]
Internet pornography was blamed for a 20 percent increase in sexual attacks by children over three years.[6]
One out of three youth who viewed pornography, viewed the pornography intentionally.[1]
Seven out of ten youth have accidentally come across pornography online.[2]
Nearly 80 percent of unwanted exposure to pornography is taking place in the home (79 percent occurs in the home; 9 percent occurs at school; 7 percent other/unknown; 5 percent at a friend’s home).[3]
Kids experience unwanted exposure to sexual material via:[4] A link came up as a result of an innocent word search (40 percent), Clicking on a link in another site (17 percent), A pop-up (14 percent), Other (13 percent), Misspelled web address (12 percent), Don’t know (4 percent), Pictures involving animals or other strange things (10 percent)
Type of material youth encounter when unwanted exposure to pornography occurs:[5] Naked people (86 percent), People having sex (37 percent), Violent pictures (13 percent)
Nearly 74 percent of pornography websites surveyed display adult content on their homepage (accessible to anyone) before asking if the viewers are of legal age. [11]
American children begin consuming hardcore pronography at an average age of 11
Four out of five 16 year-olds regularly access pornography online
Findings from the Youth Internet Safety Survey indicate that 15% of 12-17 year olds have purposefully looked at x-rated material online.
Data from the PEW Internet and American Life Project suggest that 70% of 15-17 year old internet users accidently view pornography “very” or “Somewhat” often.
Child Pornography
Child pornography is a $3-billion industry. (Top Ten Reviews)
Child pornography is one of the fastest growing businesses online, and the content is becoming much worse. (Internet Watch Foundation) Internet Watch Foundation confirmed 1536 child abuse domains in 2008.
The fastest growing demand in commercial websites for child abuse is for images depicting the worst type of abuse, including penetrative sexual activity involving children and adults and sadism or penetration by an animal. 58% of child sexual abuse images depict this level of abuse. (IWF, 2008)
69% of all victims in child abuse images are between the ages of 0 and 10 years old. (IWF, 2008)
In a study of arrested child pornography possessors, 40 percent had both sexually victimized children and were in possession of child pornography. Of those arrested between 2000 and 2001, 83 percent had images involving children between the ages 6 and 12; 39 percent had images of children between ages 3 and 5; and 19% had images of infants and toddlers under age 3 (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, Child Pornography Possessors Arrested in Internet-Related Crimes: Findings fro the National Juvenile Online Victimization Study. 2005).

HOW YOU CAN HELP
if these links aka fucking cold hard proof dont make you stop watching it, i hope you drop dead.
I knew the porn industry was messed up but this is just so horrible and inhumane … thank you @luaren for taking the time to make this informative and eye opening post.
“Kek you think you’re smarter than me for being anti porn”
Yes. Yes I do.
Read it. Read it again and tell me that porn is ok in anyway??
This stuff is disgusting, and the fact that its such a widely accepted and supported industry is even worse.
men are allowed to be so mediocre it’s insulting on the deepest level
Porn needs to start being shamed again. Don’t call it natural. Don’t accept it. Make a contemptuous and disgusted face when you see a guy talk about it, or a woman support her SO’s porn habits.
a man: hey
me: that’s enough
I say this every 10 days but golddiggers aren't a real problem and don't exist and powerful men who marry 20 year olds are the problem
men: *create an entire society centered around preventing women from gaining equal access to capital*
also men: wtf I can't believe women expect us to help pay for food and shelter
people REALLY don’t assassinate presidents and prime ministers like they used to
Woman tip!
if you face any misogyny coming from a man, just pull him aside and let him know you’re actually MALE and use he/him pronouns and he will be like “Pardon me, my fellow Man! Thank you for letting me know you are not actually a woman, I simply mistook you for one based off of how you look. I will go harass a real Woman now.”
simply Identifying out of oppression really works !!
