    We’re happy for you to use the ‘bin the bunny’ logo in the way you have described in your comment.

    Thanks for visiting the blog.

    I have read three of your flyers and dont disagree with a single word of any of them

    Thanks Ed; it’s always good to hear from a pro-feminist man (if that is how you would choose to describe yourself), or any man who agrees broadly with our aims!

    Thank you for your excellent blog. I have recently become interested in women’s issues but I have been put off by feminists who are pro-porn. I find this attitude very hypocritical. How can one say they care about sexual assault victims and then turn around and defend rape porn. If feminists really care about women then they shouldn’t be such hypocrites. Thanks again.

    Hi Erin. I had to giggle (to my utmost relief) that you were turned off feminism because of pro-porn rubbish. I am used to people telling me they are turned off feminism because of the ones who are against pornography!!! I hear ya. I never understood how feminism and pornography can be put together….RF

    Thanks for your blog. It is great news that the struggle against these images and violence against women are alive and well in spite of pro-porn activists within the mainstream womens movement.

    I live in Canada but have roots in the U.K., and support your campaign.

    We are overwhelmed here with pro-porn rubbish in both the womens, gay and lesbian movements.

    Just wondering what you think the odds are of ever finding a ‘man’ who is not into, wrapped up in, or supporting the porn/sex industry? This seems to be a huge theme in my relationship life and quite frankly I’m thinking about giving up on men all together.

    I believe being ‘gay’ is based on biology, but am starting to think I’d have better luck having a successful, supportive, and porn-free relationship with a woman.
    Thanks

    This is all so refreshing to read. However, it doesn’t last long. I am 22 years old and I am becoming aware, and fast, of what it means to be a woman. And it’s very scary. I was raised by my father. I have 2 brothers and 9 boy cousins. I’m reading feminist blogs at 4am and I don’t talk about it at any other time (except with my psychiatrist, which is still a limited conversation). I am just in a very confused and embarrassed state; I appreciate these blogs, but I need to talk to someone. I need closure. I’m terrified for my relationship with my boyfriend – how can I love him when I “hate” all men? And how do I show him that the idea of porn and strip clubs are disrespectful to me? He thinks they’re okay, which hurts me, to the core. I am afraid to reveal my feminist side, I’m afraid he’ll leave – of which I am infinitely ashamed. Does this feeling ever subside?

    In response to the post titled please help. You did not state the country that you are in at the moment. I would try and find a womens centre or resource where you may be able to meet other women like yourself and discuss these issues. Generally, there are Rape Crisis Centres or other focussed groups in many towns and cities. Hope this helps.

    Dear pleasehelp
    You ask does this feeling ever subside? Don’t worry, it does but, in the meantime, don’t be ashamed at all that you’re afraid he’ll leave. That’s only natural for you to be afraid. After all, at present, the only time you get the chance to think about feminism is reading blogs at 4am. I remember I actually fainted on a train the first time I was reading a feminist magazine and an article inside really shook me – it was something that I knew was true because I had experienced it for myself, but I had never seen it written down before and the truth of it was too much for me to take in at once, I felt so utterly alone. As Gloria Steinem said, “the truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off” or, in our case, make us feel afraid and ashamed of being afraid.
    It sounds like your psychiatrist is not a feminist. Try broaching again your opinions and, if your psychiatrist is unsupportive, I wonder if it is possible for you to change to someone else.
    In the meantime, try to google a women’s bookshop or failing that a general radical bookshop or, failing that, a bookshop which has at least one shelf of women’s studies where you could maybe start up a conversation with another browser. Alternatively, if you find a bookshop with a feminist section, the bookseller might be able to refer you to other feminists. Similarly, your local library might have some information on women’s groups or a local college might run an evening class or other course on women’s studies.
    Good luck and do let us know how you get on.

    The attitudes that are depicted in film and TV resonate powerfully in the rest of society. There are still 2 men for every woman depicted in TV and film drama and most of those women play ‘supporting’ roles – eye candy being the most popular with the knock on effect that women depicted in drama generally reach a sell by date at an early age. There is a petition to address this imbalance published by Equity on a safe site -
    http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/24658.html – please sign up to it as it is both individually and collectively that we’ll make a difference and each issue has a knock on effect to the next.

    Hello there. I’m so glad I found this website via the pornharms and Antipornblog pages on youtube. For the last couple of days or so my anger on the subject of porn has reached boiling point, because I feel as though I’m surrounded by many women in my everyday life who think its alright for men to objectify them so I’ve been doing some research on ‘tinterweb and I’m so pleased to see there are many women who share my opinion out there. I was begining to think we were a dying breed but I’ve never been so happy to be wrong. We’re not boring, prudish, men-haters who are afraid of sex and its about time people stopped thinking of us as such just because we think its wrong to, oh I dont know, lets say, to physically and verbaly abuse other human beings while you’re having sex with them and to feel sexual gratification whilst watching it.

    Verinon,

    The best method is education. Pornography is bad for all of us, men as well as women, and we’re beginning to see the fall-out from the first generation of young adults who grew up with unlimited access to extreme pornography in terms of relationship violence and STIs etc.

    A lot of people aren’t happy with pornography, and feel it has negatively affected them. But to speak up (especially if you are a woman) is to risk being ridiculed as a prude and anti-sex, so challenging that (which is, in itself, a form of censorship!) is important.

    You’re right, in that some of the people who defend porn as ‘free speech’ readily admit that it does have a negative affect, and that power is what makes it speech and therefore in need of protection.

    But if porn is speech it’s hate speech, and the only form of hate speech that gets a free pass. If racists communicated their racist ideas by recording racial violence (even if the victim was so poor they could be induced to submit to the violence in return for money), it wouldn’t be defended the way porn is defended.

    Pornography is an intrinsic component of male supremacism, that’s why it’s defended the way no other hate speech, or recording of violence would be.

    It is reassuring to find other people with the same opinion as me, i find that my girlfriends do not know what porn is these days. I found out through researching raunch culture for my dissertation and i refuse to talk to them about it as i wouldn’t want to put this kind of anger towards men on anyone, they are better off not knowing. Anyway i need other people to talk to about it. How do i connect with the members of this group?

    Hello,

    APL isn’t really all that active at the moment, for active feminist groups try the London Feminist Network or Object. If you’re looking for an online forum, I Blame the Patriarchy has a good community of commenters.
