"As a woman, I think porn is a disgrace. I started watching porn when I was 11. It really destroyed my brain. I'm so angry that porn is so loved.

Women are like, 'I have to like being hurt to be thought of as good in bed.'"

This summer a trend on TikTok saw young women and even underage girls listing off 'kinks' including choking and CNC — "consensual non-consensual."

About one-third of TikTok users are underage.

A 10-year-old girl in Italy died of asphyxiation after participating in a TikTok BDSM “blackout challenge”.

TikTok was made to remove more than 500,000 accounts & barred children under 13 (in Italy) following an intervention by national regulators.

An ad by Seoul Milk (서울우유) depicting a voyeur filming women — who then turn into cows — has been pulled by the company following outcry.

South Korea is the global epicenter of spy cam pornography (몰카).

Some women victimized have committed suicide.

The issue of spy cam porn (몰카) in South Korea is so severe that professional investigators are hired to sweep hotel rooms.

There are organized crime networks that profit from streaming women in restrooms or hotels unaware on subscription-based porn sites.
(🎬Stacey Dooley BBC)
Soo-Yuen Park of Digital Sexcrime Out works with victims of spy cam porn.

She says there are sites with over 100k users where videos of women in public restrooms and changing rooms are streamed. Many women feel afraid to use public facilities.

"It's a global problem."

Luc Besson met Maïwenn Le Besco when she was 12.

They married when she was only 15 and she gave birth at 16.

"Léon: The Professional" was based on their relationship.

Besson left her three years later for Milla Jovovich during the filming of "The Fifth Element." Image
The original cut of "Léon" had scenes which portray 12 year-old Mathilda as highly sexual, attempting to seduce Léon.

These scenes were cut from the US release because they "tested very poorly" with American audiences, but were included in the 1996 European release.
When the film was first tested in LA, it incuded a scene where Mathilda asks Léon to be her lover. However, the audience became extremely uncomfortable and began to laugh nervously. The film received terrible test scores at the screening, and Besson cut it for theatrical release.

The World Professional Association of Transgender Health is seeking to include men with castration fetishes under the transgender umbrella.

In their proposal, WPATH links to a castration fetish website that hosts written child pornography and bestiality.

Disturbingly, an administrator of The Eunuch Archives claims to have been heavily involved in drafting WPATH’s new SoC for several years. In this post from 2016, he says Eli Coleman, former president, contacted him directly.
In 2010, the admin said, "I was one of the many who were asked to draft position papers for the committee to read as they prepared their draft," referring to the 2013 DSM-5, for classifying mental disorders. According to this, proposed changes were discussed among the community.

The military coup in Myanmar, led by men, ousted female leader Aung San Suu Kyi & began collaborating with male management at factories to quash women-led workers' unions.
The garment industry is worth $6 billion nationally; women are 90% of its workforce.
vice.com/en/article/k7w…
"A majority of the factory managers are men", a trend seen across sweatshop / garment factories in Asia.

They prefer to employ women, paying them a pittance ($3.40 / day) for long working hours, and are known to sexually assault the female workers.

ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/…
Women garment workers have been at the forefront of protests against the military coup in Myanmar.

The sexual politics of the junta's takeover are impossible to miss: it occurred as the women's labor movement had begun to make gains.

Women are protesting in Spain against proposed gender identity laws that would erase women's rights, allow "puberty blockers" to be given to children, and impose fines for accurate language.

WE ARE WOMEN, NOT A FEELING 💪

In addition to rallying against sex self-identification, grassroots feminist organizations took to the streets to call for an end to violence against women
Feminist organizations have protested against "gender identity" laws, as well as surrogacy and prostitution, several times this year.

"Although our elites are using the word 'feminism' in their policies, they put women and females last on their agenda."

The first silicone breast implants were performed on Japanese women trafficked into sex slavery during WWII American occupation.
The silicone, stolen from shipping docks, was injected directly into their breasts, resulting in gangrene or “silicone rot”, and in some cases, death.
As early as 1899, men were injecting women's breasts with paraffin wax, causing infections. Male doctors killed countless women by implanting them with: glass balls, wood chips, kitchen sponges, and substances destined for fuel or industrial rubber tubing.
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
In recent years, even silicone implants have been linked to a novel form of breast cancer and class-action lawsuits.
New FDA Guidelines identify women who suffered breast cancer as most at risk for implant cancer — the group they are most marketed towards.
