They are angry about the age verification because boys are first exposed to porn at 11-13 years old, often younger even. When they are exposed so young, they get locked into it easier. This ensures lifelong fans. Real mask off moment.
It baffles me how radical feminists are considered conservative when the idea of female separatism is 10x more radical and far left than most of the beliefs held by left-wing parties. I will not listen to anyone who calls radical feminism a conservative ideology because it means they haven't done any research or reading.
We don't hate porn because we think women should be pure virgins who only commit to one man, we hate porn because it degrades women and is the product of sex trafficking, coercion, and propaganda.
We don't hate tight clothing and makeup because we think women should be covered from head to toe, we hate it because it restricts movement and makes day to day life uncomfortable for women.
We don't criticize the trans community because we think everyone should conform to gender roles and there should be no attempt to break the gender binary, we criticize the fact that transition is based on stereotypes, norms, roles, clothing, and other things women have fought for years to be free from.
Radical feminism does a better job at attacking actual oppressive structures and frameworks than most other leftist ideologies and I am done with ignorant people online comparing radical feminism to trad wife life or traditional conservatism. Especially when this criticism comes from losers who spend all day watching porn that promotes racism and classism.
One trouble with soft-core sexual imagery aimed at young men is that the women photographed are not actually responding sexually to anything; young men grow up trained to eroticize images that teach them nothing about female desire. Nor are young women taught to eroticize female desire. Both men and women, then, tend to eroticize only the woman’s body and the man’s desire. That means that women are exaggeratedly sensitive to male desire for their own arousal, and men are exaggeratedly insensitive to female desire for theirs.
I wish every man on the subreddit could go through a fraction of what that woman has been through.
Men always tell OF girls and porn stars to get respectable jobs then prevent them from living normal lives and leave the industry by acting like this. Every single man on that subreddit needs to be doxxed. I want their mothers and sisters and all the women in their lives to see how they act.
these are the men you write male positivity posts for
If y'all don't stop romanticizing being a housewife I swear. Women did not trick men into letting women be housewives, it's literally a way for men to hold all the financial and social power in the home and the country. Being a housewife wasn't staying home all day, putting makeup on, and going shopping. It meant taking care of multiple kids. It meant being drugged out of your mind and even being forcefully lobotomized. Housewives of the early and mid 1900s were usually extremely depressed and anxious.
Education for women is precious. Being able to hold a job as a woman is something we should be thankful for every day.
I can't believe that in 2024 this type of content gets millions of likes.
labour (as in effort) and job (as in profession) are not the same thing. but work can mean either of these things. and sex is labour, but its not a profession.
thats why they chant „sex work is work“ and not „sex is a job“. if they did, people would realise there is something off about the claim. they also dont chant „sex is a service“ even though thats how they treat it if they advocate for „sex work“ to be recognised as a profession.
you see, „sex is work“ can be interpreted as sex is (physical) effort, it can or can not involve payment (for example, planting a flower is work, but only becomes the job of gardener if you get paid for it). but „sex is a job“ and „sex is a service“ implies obligation. obligation implies negative consequences if you dont do it. its clear what this means in the context of sex: coercion. you are obligated to have sex (even if you dont want to do it), like you are obligated at a job to do things you might not want to do, or enjoy doing.
„sex is a job“ and „sex is a service“ also implies a hierarchy and power imbalance. one tells the other what to do. this of course is at odds with emphasising the alleged bodily autonomy and voluntarism that prostitution advocates say they want - for prostitutes, who are being told what to do if sex is their job.
in my opinion, the cognitive dissonance of feminists supporting the sex industry is perfectly exemplified in their favourite mantra, „sex work is work“.
Think of all the little girls in African and middle eastern countries who are pinned down while their genitals are horrifically cut open and mutilated without any sort of pain killer. Were they mutilated because they liked painting their nails and wearing dresses?
Think of all the little girls in developing nations who are told that they are being sent to work as a maid, only to find out that their parents were tricked, and they are now being prostituted at a brothel. Were they sentenced to a life of sexual abuse because they liked wearing makeup and having long hair?
Think of all the girls and women in Nepal and India who are forced into menstrual huts when they have their periods. Think of the girls who are left exposed in these huts and are raped by strange men, or else die from exposure to extreme heat, cold and flooding. Did they die because “skirt go spinny,” or because they liked playing the female avatar in video games?
Think of all the little girls in Africa who have just started developing breast buds, and their panicked mothers, aunts, and grandmothers feeling as though they must flatten their breasts with an iron in order to prevent them from being raped or married off as child brides. Were their bodies stunted because they liked playing with dolls rather than trucks?
Think of all the girls and women who become pregnant through rape, or else are impoverished, homeless, disabled, or not physically or mentally healthy enough to have a child. Are they denied control over their bodies because they look or act a certain way? Or was it by virtue of having a female body and genitalia?
Think of all the girls and women in countries ruled by Sharia law and militant Islam, who are denied an education, and routinely killed for trying to go to school. Were they murdered for opting into womanhood as some indefinable, mysterious, unknowable essence?
This is why I vehemently disagree with the notion of "centring transwomen" in discussions of the systemic abuse that women suffer, both presently and historically. The majority of violence, abuse and oppression inflicted upon women on a global scale is SEX BASED, not gender based. It isn’t because they’ve chosen to present as a woman, it is because they ARE women. And if people would step outside of their privilege and view things on an international scale, they would clearly see that.
Being a woman isn’t a costume, it’s a life sentence. Trans rights should be discussed separate to women's rights.
There are thousands of porn videos with women crying and asking to stop and being ignored. Multiple pornstars have come forward and confessed that they were tricked into doing rough scenes.
It's so funny when pornsick weirdos use this argument as if they are not the ones looking up 'barley legal teen gets brutally fucked and begs to stop' or 'alpha male ignores safe word' or whatever you weirdos get off too. Y'all know it's real and that's what gets you off.
did you really think this was somehow a winning argument against videos of women actually being put thru violent sex (many of which the women themselves said they didn’t consent to)? you think that’s equivalent to people acting in plays and being boxers?
