This quote is from a rad-fem blog I found today, Mighty Crankosaurus:
“Pornography users loudly proclaim the harmlessness of their hobby while simultaneously reporting sexual dysfunction, disgust, shame, and addict-like behavior. Women report feeling uncomfortable with their partner’s use of pornography but not wanting to seem like a “prude”. Boys are learning that women are hypersexual beings for whom no never means no, and girls are learning that that’s what boys expect them to be. And all the while porn is screwing up people’s relationships and sex drives and self images, we are being told that porn is sexy! Porn is edgy! Porn is cool! Porn is rebelious! Porn is none of those things. Pornographers like to act like they are on the edge, that they are anti-establishment, but they are some of the most pro-establishment people you can conceive of. There is nothing edgy or cool or rebelious about an industry that exploits the weakest people in our society, that thrives on sexist and racist stereotypes, that makes more profit than virtually any other industry and insults its customer base by pandering to their basest and most disgusting desires.”
The whole post is brilliant, so go read it!
