"pornography is no more misogynistic than any other media in our society"

average porn plot: raping a random woman

[rathmaa]

Adding it this way because I'm not directly giving this person the reblogs that they want.

It is never just sex, and sexual assault in porn cannot be separated from nuclear bombings, nor can it be separated from war (even in film, because i suppose that only happens in movies) when real people are assaulted daily in real life wars.

Jan Villarubia: "I was given drugs and alcohol before being filmed and then porn producers would record me saying that I was NOT under the influence of any drugs or alcohol prior to filming.

I gladly accepted the drugs and alcohol because I didn't want to feel the pain of penetration from an over-sized man or from being told to hold poses for still camera shots while being penetrated and choked."

Aaron Crowley: “There came a point where [my talent manager] unzipped his pants and pulled out his penis and sat in a chair and said, ‘If you want to be a part of this industry, this is a part of it.’

And what he was doing there was basically seeing if I would be comfortable with exactly what was gonna happen to me in porn, where I was no longer in control of my body. Was I going to submit and do what I was told? Was I going to acquiesce to the demands of the producers and everyone else on set?

That’s sexual assault. But because it’s porn and because sex is the nature of the industry, sexual assault is the nature of the industry. It’s normal. This is exactly what goes on. He was right there, saying sexual assault is a part of this industry.”

Felicity Feline: “I worked for a site called Facial Abuse…it’s basically a site that is extremely degrading and rough. It promotes explicit, horrible acts onto women…mainly to vomit…and be called names and to do really awful things on camera…I was 21 years old and confused so I agreed to do it. I wish more than anything that I never shot for that company. So the scene starts off with an interview type of thing…They start asking me questions like have you ever been molested as a child or touched by family members? They start asking these weird questions to dig for information that they can use against me… They wanted to break me.

c: exoduscry

A snippet from Aurora Snow's interview with The Daily Beast, that shines a light on the real abuse and real exploitation in the industry.

" But stopping was not in her contract. Snow says someone grabbed her and tried to forcefully penetrate her anally with one of the approved devices, but she did not consent to extras utilizing them. She dodged him just in time and yelled at him, but he laughed at her.

“He was laughing like I was a joke, saying things like ‘But you’re Aurora Snow, you can take it.’ But I could not take it. I was shattered—my nerves so frayed I was entirely unable to explain how what I consented to turned into something I never imagined.”

Snow said she was not in a scene she agreed to. No one came to her defense. The cameras kept rolling."

"For example, one study found that 1 out of every 8 porn titles shown to first-time users on porn home pages described acts of sexual violence. And according to studies analyzing the content of porn videos themselves, it’s estimated that as few as 1 in 3 porn videos (33.9%) and as many as 9 in 10 videos (88.2%) show acts of physical aggression or violence, while 48.7%—about half—contain verbal aggression. These studies also found that despite the levels of violence and aggression, the targets were almost always portrayed as responding with pleasure or neutrality."

"But that’s not all. This study from 2011 found that women are more likely to watch porn—especially the more hardcore categories—when they have suffered sexual assaults and psychological violence at the hands of their families. Just read this personal account, and this personal account to see personal experiences that back this up. Also, not surprisingly, more research has shown time and time again that there is a direct connection between pornography and sexual assault."

Fight The New Drug

Lastly, comparing fetishized sexual assault to war is not only tone deaf, but disingenuous at worst and ignorant at best. There are thousands, maybe even millions of testimonials from the families of women and little girls who have been raped during real life wars, and from the women and little girls themselves. There are testimonials directly from the men who have committed these sexual assaults, who are proud of it, who keep photos and diary entries as trophies.

c: wikipedia

"Rape, among other acts of wartime sexual violence, was frequently committed against female Vietnamese civilians during the Vietnam War. It was an aspect of the various human rights abuses perpetrated by the United States and South Korea, as well as by local Vietnamese combatants. According to American political scientist Elisabeth Jean Wood, the sexual violation of women by American military personnel was tolerated by their commanders. American professor Gina Marie Weaver stated that not only were documented crimes against Vietnamese women by American soldiers ignored during the international legal discourse that occurred immediately after the conflict, but modern feminists and other anti-war rape campaigners, as well as historians, have continued to dismiss them."

c: wikipedia

"Comfort women were women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces in occupied countries and territories before and during World War II. The term comfort women is a translation of the Japanese ianfu (慰安婦),[6] a euphemism that literally means "comforting, consoling woman". During World War II, Japanese troops forced hundreds of thousands of women from Australia, Burma, China, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, East Timor, New Guinea and other countries into sexual enslavement for Japanese soldiers; however, the majority of the women were from Korea."

Here are some testimonies from the last survivors of the Nanjing Massacre in 1937. The Nanjing Massacre was led by the Japanese military during the second Sino-Japanese war, who invaded Nanjing, China and engaged in a campaign of mass killing and mass rapes.

[comrade-quell]

Genuinely curious, how do you feel about war movies and action movies? Should they never be made?

[rathmaa]

Well, for one, Superman is not real. Godzilla is not real. Real people are incapable of having superpowers, and giant lizards that destroy entire cities do not exist.

Nobody died in the creation of Fight Club, nobody died in the creation of Friday the 13th or Terrifier (though there are other criticisms about movies like these, such as the exploitation of women). Real life people are raped in pornos. Real life people are raped outside of pornos, in war, in back alleys, in breakrooms at work, and in their own bedrooms by people that they know.

This isn't a conversation about fiction vs reality, this is a conversation about real life people being raped on camera, footage of those rapes being sold and spread across the internet, and real life people being raped yet again because it is now profitable. Real life people will get raped because someone has seen these videos, and now believes that it is okay to do.

[fuckcrumpets]

“There is ZERO reason for [female-only] spaces to exist.” Okay.

[loserdogma]

What they meant to say was “there is ZERO reason for female-only spaces to exist that I respect.” There are thousands of reasons for female-only spaces, they just do not respect or value those reasons.

[doingitatmybirthdaydinner]

if males aren't any more unsafe than females, then go be with the males. go in the male bathroom and locker room, and the male college dorm. you'll be safe, because amab bodies are not unsafe and you don't have trauma from amab bodies. tell the males in those spaces that they won't be better for excluding minorities.

"If sex is a service rape is just unpaid labor.

If sex is a service it can be provided to family members, morally.

If sex is a service it can be a small child's career aspiration, and it should be supported as such.

If sex is a service, and sex work is an existent opportunity to you, you can't complain about being unemployed.

If sex is a service, SA is just some form of child labour.

If sex is a service it is bigoted and against the customer’s rights to deny service on the basis of anything, including sex, regardless of the workers orientation and they should provide service to the costumer.

Things get really creepy when you mix things with inherent different natures like sex and labour.

If sex work is work, then incest is no different than working in the yard or shed with Mum and Dad. It's just practice for working in the real world.

If sex work is work then it should be held to the same safety standards as other jobs, including treating any and bodily fluids as biohazards that should never touch the workers' skin (rubber protective gloves, etc). There would be unions, benefits, healthcare, the things expected from other jobs. Legal action against pimps when they harass, assault, and threaten their"employees." Strikes, protections, wages that increase rather than decrease over time (why would an 18 year old be more "valuable" than a 30 year old?).

Are you starting to see it now?

Sex work is ultimately the exploitation of women and will never be empowering.

Try identifying out of that."

Natalia Smith

[moved-to-empresscaress]

I hate the entire concept of rehabilitating a rapist. Rapists aren't ill. Raping is not a symptom. It is a misogynistic hate crime. Stop letting violent men pathologize themselves out of consequences. They're not the ones suffering from what they've done.

[kkoffin]

It’s funny that when you address the fact that men have more physical strength than women, people act as though you’re saying women are inferior. Like do you people think gorillas are superior to humans? maybe in a boxing match, sure, but I don’t see gorillas running successful democracies and building rockets to take them to the moon.

[gender-machine-broke]

“Ohhh so you think women are just useless little fragile waifs who can’t take care of themselves and should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen” no. Literally no one said that either. Women have several physical advantages over men including flexibility, more dexterous hands, and better resistance to famine and disease. But in a world where everything was designed for men and their bodies and men regularly use their greater physical strength to terrorize women, pretending there are zero physical differences between the sexes is not the more feminist stance. It puts women in harm’s way

[bushpropaganda]

exactly!!! painting physical strength disparities as anti-feminist only serves to aid male violence and victimize women. you teach a woman that she's as (physically) strong as any man, and she will be woefully unprepared when she's in a situation where it's her strength against his.

if you've ever had to fight off a man, either for your safety or another woman's, you would realize how insanely strong even the most sedentary man is. in addition to natural upper body strength, they have longer arms, larger hands, and stronger grip strength—it's easier for them to grab you, and when they do, you are not getting away without fighting dirty.

it's why women's self-defense classes teach unique incapacitation methods that do not rely on upper body strength, but on weak spots, dexterity, and making use of our legs.

i want all these feminists who have an issue with this to ask a man in their lives to subdue them without holding their strength back. then i want them to try and get away. then i want them to come back to me with how it went.

now, imagine a situation where a man's full intent is to hurt you, where he is exercising the full extent of his strength in an attempt to victimize you, and ask yourself how that would go.

instead of pretending that the strength disparity doesn't exist in an effort to prove women's value, stop making physical strength a defining factor of worthiness.

[a-lesbian-feminist]

We also know that young girls are prevented from being as physically active as their male peers. A decent portion of the male-female strength disparity is that young girls are deprived of food to make them skinny, put in clothing that restricts their movement, and excluded from physical activity, while boys experience the exact opposite.

Pretending that the strength disparity does not exist is just turning a blind eye to this form of discrimination, and it denies us the chance to work on it.

[multigenderswag]

Reminder to multigender people (and trans people in general, but this came up on the multigender survey so I'm addressing multigender people in particular) that you can't "transition to become intersex." You can absolutely transition to have mixed sex characteristics, or both a penis and a vagina, or whatever other transition is best for you, but if you're not intersex you shouldn't refer to yourself that way. Intersex people have repeatedly explained that it's inaccurate and offensive to claim you're "transitioning to intersex," don't do that.

[dhakcjshkvjbd]

it’s offensive to think you can become intersex but not offensive to think you can become female? why?

[dhakcjshkvjbd]

hmmmmmm

[sickofthis666]

"A social and medical category of ppl facing specific discrimination since birth" 🤔 Well I wouldn't know nothing 'bout that. Obvsly.

[an-awkward-tangerine]

"Intersex people face so much discrimination from the moment they are born, doctors mutilating their genitals, parents forcing them down one gender path, etc. that it would be offensive to call yourself intersex when you have faced none of that discrimination"

Unlike women who aren't discriminates since birth, aren't mutilates because of their sex, aren't forced down one gender path... wait.

If sex is a spectrum and one can transition to female even if they were not born that way, why can't they transition to intersex even if they're not born that way ? Because of oppression ? Are you saying female people are not oppressed ?

[mini-wrants]

I can’t with corset-fuckers, I really cannot.

Everyday, women around the world put ground mica on their eyelids and pigmented clay on their mouths and cheeks in the form of eyeshadow, blush, lipstick, and foundation, because wearing makeup is expected of women.

Everyday, women wear high heels and other uncomfortable shoes not because they want to, but because it’s expected for working in a professional setting.

Everyday, women squeeze themselves into spanx and other restrictive undergarments, because having loose flesh and ripples in the skin is “unseemly”, and the expectation is that women should always be wearing tight fitting clothing.

Everyday, women start new juice cleanse diets or pound laxatives to lose weight, because being fat is synonymous with being lazy and stupid and gross. Sometimes those women die from it.

“You just expect me to believe 95% of the women in ye olden times were idiots who liked to torture themselves” no, I expect you to believe that it’s very easy to pressure a large majority of a population to act in a way that’s detrimental to their own health and comfort, because going against societal expectations can make it harder to find/keep a job, get promoted, or be treated with respect.

[mini-wrants]

I’m making this rebloggable again now that Thin Is Definitely In.

[catfinancier]

does anyone have that post about OSHA compliant sex work? something about a dude who shows up to a guy's house in full ppe to give him a dry handjob

[radfem-woman]

[awoman-is-alive]

this goes without saying but women who claim they are actually not women are making such a bold assumption about the billions of women who exist in this world. are you able to read the minds of every woman around you? are you saying that there is no woman in the world who feels how you feel on the inside? who thinks how you think? what would it mean if you found someone who is exactly like you (just as complex and multifaceted as you uwu) however she did not identify out of womanhood? would you say she is trans in denial? or are you actually just both women? how can you be completely sure you are in an entirely separate category from all women? have you met every woman? what rulebook are you reading from?

[disctrict14]

it makes me sad because I do feel angry at the nb iding women I know because its like…. do u think I must somehow fit into the constructed idea of femininity, whilst you have outsmarted it? Do you think that by calling myself a woman im dumber than you, accept and am more suited to gender roles more than you, even though you make no effort to change your behaviours or thoughts to go against female socialisation..?

And its clear they really do. I’ve seen so many of those memes that are like “haha cis people don’t understand my gender they r so stupid!”… the condescension…..its staggering how much class solidarity we’ve lost to this ideology.

[harrypotterfuryroad]

Some revisionist history on this lovely Tuesday

[bellaforwhomittolls]

Have you literally never read anything about LGBT history? Marsha P Johnson, a TRANS WOMAN, thres the first brick at stonewall. Trans people have been integral to the movement from the beginning and het have been left in the dust by reform.

But Marsha saying so, is still not enough for them.

@babybsweettea do YOU? Everything you said is fucking wrong. Maybe don’t lecture people on not reading anything about LGBT history when you clearly haven’t either. You’re a damn clown.

[cheesyradfem]

Anyway the first pride parade was organized by gay men Fred Sargent And Craig Rodwell and lesbians Linda Rhodes and Ellen Brody. Don’t let the historical revisionists claim that gays and lesbians weren’t at the forefront of their own liberation movement!

[weaverlegaspi]

Also… fucking LGB rights and pain is more than just Stonewall. So much damn more. Go read a history book OP, not just get cult brainwashed by Tumblr. For the love of…. arghhhhh….

[mithliya]

marsha’s words regarding stonewall: 

but ok, i guess marsha saying “i wasnt there at stonewall when the riots started” and “im just a gay man in drag” is all meaningless, and we owe every single event in our history worldwide to marsha, and marsha was somehow a trans woman despite her own statements that she’s not. and the organisers of the first pride march had nothing to do with it too. totally not revisionist.

[gendercritquinn]

Considering now a days terf is just a synonym for woman I don’t like and actual lesbian that’s not down with the girl dique, that first couple of posts is very on brand for TRAs.

Sorry OP, when you’re wrong you’re wrong.

[the-rad-menace]

In 2022, trans activists beat and shoved Fred Sargent, one of the actual founders of Pride, to the ground at a Pride event. They threw a drink on him to further humiliate him. You people know nothing about history nor respecting the people who actually fought for LGBT rights.

[depressao-com-cafe]

One of the aspects of "peaking" that hit me much later was the disillusionment that comes from identifying with a "progressive" movement then watching the language that defended the ideas I agreed with turn against me.

Don't like how women are sexualized in media? You've got to deconstruct your internalized puritanism. Pointing out male violence? Fear of the "other" puts minority men at risk therefore any criticism against males (unless it's cishet able bodied white ones) empowers discrimination policies. Capitalism wants you to feel bad about yourself and buy things to fill that void but don't criticize the aestheticization of LGBT identity or else you're a bigot. If you think the female sex exists you're a bigot. Deconstruct your anti-male biases or else you support your local fascist.

[depressao-com-cafe]

This does not in any way means I'm no longer leftist/progressive. It means I've grown wary of how people can twist words and ideas to fit their shitty views. I understand that to some it's despairing how "the whole bird hates women". I don't think that's enough reason to not care about class and geopolitical structures.

my straight female friends don't masturbate while watching videos of men being slapped, beaten, yelled at, thrown around, crying, or in pain. they don't masturbate to videos of men described as "teen" or "teen boy" or "teen virgin". they don't masturbate to videos where a man pretends to get stuck in some furniture and have a woman sneak up and fuck him while he is stuck and can't move. they don't masturbate to videos where a man has things shoved down his throat and is gagging and crying and trying to break away, but the woman won't let him. they don't masturbate to videos of men being painfully fucked in the ass, where their pain is the point, referred to as painal. they don't masturbate to videos where men are alternatingly described as teens, young, virgins, naive, or dilfs, mature, sluts, whores, nasty, etc. they don't masturbate to videos where a man is tricked into sex by a woman under false pretenses, or forced by a woman to have sex to make up for something, like a crime, or to pay for something. they don't masturbate to videos where men appear to be drugged or sleeping while a woman fucks him. they don't masturbate to videos of men being fucked by women while mimicking all of the body language and style of dress of teens and children. they don't watch videos of skinny barely 18-year-old boys who look much younger being fucked by older women. in fact, they don't really watch much porn at all. my one straight friend doesn't even watch porn anymore, but when she did, it was just videos of this one guy who was like a pussy-eating specialist and would go down on girls very skillfully and for a long time. basically, straight women just want to see a hot guy eat a girl out for longer and with more care than your average real-life straight guy would, but men want to see women and teen girls be hurt, scream, cry, pretend to be children, pretend to be asleep, stuck, unable to move, naive, tricked into sex, etc. interesting. something to think about.

feminists are discouraged from speaking harshly for fear of aggravating/upsetting men, but male responses to feminist critique end up in a retaliation ("oh, you want equality? go work in the mines/i can hit you then/no holding doors for you missy") because they already view the class of women as an enemy class, something to defeat rather than somebody to collaborate with in order to improve the livelihood of all. and so no amount of gentle begging is going to make them reconsider their actions, because by the virtue of being a woman and speaking up for women you are already considered an enemy presenting a case for an enemy class. why should they listen to you?

What I think a lot of people don't understand is that men don't actually, fundamentally comprehend the gravity of rape. In general, men haven't ever had to live with the omnipresent fear of it, and it certainly doesn't mark their daily lives to the same extent. They have no idea what it really means and view it as 'bad/unpleasant sex' rather than what it is-- total dehumanisation, violence that leaves its mark on the body and mind forever. For someone who never actively runs this risk, it's a difficult thing to grasp.

This is why you see so many men empathising with the accused rather than the accuser. In a situation of a rape accusation, they subconsciously put themselves in the place of the man, the rapist. Funnily enough they often can understand it if they think about themselves being raped by another man, it's then that they comprehend the subjugation and the violence inherent in the act. But this is still a fairly unlikely scenario for most men. Since the vast majority of rapes are committed by men against women, and men are conditioned to identify exclusively with men, they simply don't fully empathise with a female victim.

Even in consensual sex with the near universal penetrative active male/passive female sex model, they view women as made less than and degraded, and often hurt because that's just what sex is supposed to be like. So when someone says that rape makes women feel less than and degraded and hurts them badly, it doesnt strike them as particularly especially evil or horrifying.
