Like so many others, we are very glad to see the outcome of the #HarveyWeinstein trial this past week. He has done immeasurable harm with his sexual exploitation, abuse and rape of so many women, using his position of power for his own self-gratification. #HarveyWeinsteinGuilty

While most are disgusted with the extent of #HarveyWeinstein’s offending, the same can’t be said for the sick minds at #Pornhub His crimes are treated as masturbation fodder in re-enactments for men’s entertainment. His victims are named (we cut from pic) #ShutDownPornHub

Meanwhile, popular culture treats #Pornhub as a big joke. Men’s demand for the bodies of women and underage girls, objectified, used, abused, humiliated, bruised, restrained, abducted, choked, raped, tortured, trafficked, subject to misogynistic & racial abuse treated as a joke.

When will #MeToo reach the sex trade? When is it #TimesUp for #Pornhub & mega-pimp owners #MindGeek? Larry Nassar’s victims face same re-enactments as #Weinstein. Nassar abused more than 150 gymnasts during his career, now the worst moments of their lives are men’s entertainment.

While pop culture looks at #Pornhub and laughs, mainstream news looks at Pornhub and promotes their publicity stunts while uncritically referencing it as an authoritative source on “sexuality,” we see what it really is - a stockpile of evidence for crimes against women and girls.

There is a global push to #ShutDownPornhub and hold its executives accountable for aiding trafficking. If you’re behind #metoo & #TimesUp get behind this too. Justice is not only for women in Hollywood, it’s for ALL women. Sign & share >> change.org/p/shut-down-po… @LailaMickelwait
