When ideals collide... porn vs. feminism

[RainDog]

133. If that's the case

those people would not be linking to right wing religious sources to make claims related to feminism - unless you are saying that they are so indoctrinated by religious sexism that they validate it in their own lives by aligning with it.

...and someone wouldn't call someone a bigot and try to get other person banned if they really gave a shit about religious oppression, would they?

The studies are crap.

If someone has to link to discredited sources to make a point - maybe the point isn't valid or worth making.

In fact, when Dworkin and MacKinnon, etc. were trying to create a legal case to sue the porn industry out of existence, they could not find ANY feminist, Dr. Everett Koop, the Surgeon General of the time, and so on who could support their claims via meta-analysis of primary data.

So, the reality is that these people are aligning with the religious right by choice.

Take from that what you will.

Me? I generally assume their "feminism" is a cover for their religious proscriptions.

And they find broad agreement among many women because of women's personal dislike of porn that is so often created for a male viewer, rather than female, and because people use the most outrageous examples as tho they were the norm, when, as noted here on other threads - most porn is not violent, nor does it simulate rape.

But this speaking out on porn is a really, really stereotypically traditional role for females when they had no power. There's nothing really progressive about it - it's merely another iteration of Victorian woman on a pedestal bullshit. imo.
