Throwback to the 90s when liberal feminists successfully argued that a ban on filmed rape would censor nude art as well as education on sex, health, maternity, homosexuality etc. We got the world full of porn that they wanted and it harms... everything they sought to defend.
I can't think of a single medium spreading more harmful lies about sexuality, sexual health, etc. than porn. It's normalized strangulation, violent anal sex & much more - not condoms. To many young people "lesbian" is not a sexual orientation but a porn genre. So is "pregnancy".
I can't count all the women and girls I know personally who have survived (filmed) sexual assault where acts were specifically inspired by pornography. And yet the pro-porn "feminists" are still out there blathering about how porn "liberates female sexuality". Wake the fuck up.
Nobody is saying male violence didn't exist prior to porn. We're saying porn springs from rape culture and perpetuates it (as well as racism, pedo culture, etc.), it emboldens and inspires violent men to new heights of cruelty. It teaches boys objectification and aggression.
And all you need to do to confirm this for yourself is to speak to teenage girls. And tbh porn culture starts affecting us earlier and earlier. It started touching my life at 12. I now know kids even younger than that who were either exposed to porn or pornified pop culture.
There's so much to say. I can't cover it all now. But I need people to believe women & girls who are saying that we're in a state of emergency. We're on the cusp of deep fake tech being available to masses of men and boys. How do you think a generation raised on porn will use it?
For those who have not heard the term #deepfake before: technologyreview.com/2021/02/12/101… This technology means that in the foreseeable future any woman or girl can have her face superimposed onto the body of a woman in porn and yes - it will look real!
