The Unpopular Opinions of a Post-Modern Prep

radfemale:

did i tell u guys that in my final gender class i was repulsed to find out all my ‘feminist’ class mates were porn supporters and they STARTED TALKING SHIT ABOUT ANTI-PORN WRITERS LIKE ANDREA DWORKIN

and i was fuming because they did that thing libfems do where they laughed and were like ‘lol…

We were discussing the feminist movement in class yesterday, and one of the younger women was talking about how regressive it was that some feminists didn’t like porn and they were trying to control sexuality.

Hooooboy.

I looked at the prof, he looked at me, and I just whipped around in my seat and was like, “It could also be that pornography is a 97BILLION dollar industry alone, with enough global revenue to purchase VENEZUELA, that makes that money by capitalizing on the desperation of women who subsequently experience levels of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder higher than VETERANS OF COMBAT. It could also be that pornography alters brain chemistry in a manner similar to cocaine, leads to addictive behaviour and contributes to long-term male impotence” (and suddenly the males in the class looked a lot more concerned), “AND contributes to the rape culture you were just critiquing by positioning women’s’ bodies as consumable goods for the male gaze, directly reinforcing the culture of entitlement males live in—and yes, men who view hardcore pornography ARE more likely to agree with statements saying that women are asking for it, and that sometimes, rape is justifiable.”

That girl went grey as a concrete slab, and I didn’t get a rebuttal out of her.
