This author has a terminal case of feminist brainworms. The pearl-clutching, moral panic induced by artificial sex dolls plus a feminist lens is funny though.

Sex dolls show us what men want from real women — we should pay attention feministcurrent.com/2018/09/08/sex… via @FeministCurrent

Some gems:

“Let’s be clear. There is nothing harmless about “sex dolls.” They represent the ultimate debasement of women.”

"Make no mistake, that isn’t a doll he’s doing, or maybe raping, choking, or hitting — it’s all those women he can’t measure up to.

Maybe one day it will be a real woman.

Men do not have a right to sex."

"In pornography, women say ‘no' while tears stream down their faces. Their pain and fear is real.”

So, a SWERF then?

No pearl clutching would clutch pearls quite enough without a “won’t somebody think of the CHILDREN?”

“Children huddle in small groups on school playgrounds during recess or lunch, watching degrading porn on the screen of that one kid who is allowed to bring a phone to school."

And of course, as always, the FEMINIST critique of porn is shown to be vacuous, since it simply pretends gay male pornography doesn’t exist, which is of course FAR from true.

This article fails to touch on the real evil of πορνεία.

Feminists can’t manage to COHERENTLY critique pornography, because it ISN’T a women’s issue.

It is a sexual issue, and both men and women are sexual (duh).

The pornographic society is the logical outcome of “autonomy”. Feminists can’t assert BOTH female autonomy AND deny it.

If women are indeed “autonomous moral agents” who are not defined by their bodies, then they can choose what to do with their bodies, i.e. women can participate in porn.

“Women aren't allowed to do this” doesn’t sit well with “women’s liberation."

It’s always incoherent when FEMINISTS start telling women what they are not allowed to do.
