to all those men so "offended" by the feminists

[BainsBane]

285. I never said ANY of that crap

I never advocated banning all porn. That I find rape porn repulsive and am concerned about human trafficking, slavery and working conditions for sex workers is not banning all porn. Sexually expressing oneself is entirely different from being enslaved and sold for profit. There is no expression without consent or free will. Denying the reality of the conditions of sex workers is not supporting female sexuality. It is turning one's back on human rights. I have advocated responsible consumption of porn through licenced and regulated porn producers and distributors, something no one here will agree to and in fact insist on ignoring my argument and cry about "banning porn." The circumstances of the workers who make that porn are simply not important to many. Some here even oppose something as basic as requiring porn producers to have their actors use condoms, the equivalent of mechanisms for preventing black lung in the coal mines or brown lung in the textile mills. Why should sex workers have fewer rights than those in other industries?

Many men and women on this site have accused me and others of not being feminists. Your assertion above that "feminists today" believe in x shows exactly that tendency. Before you said you had never heard of a feminist who opposed pronograpy. I am not a wave. I am an independent thinking human being who is entitled to advance the ideas I believe rather than fit into the categories you insist are legitimate or not.

This is the "feminism" you have advanced: You said the jails were too crowded to keep imprisoned a serial rapist in CA who had committed over 20 rapes, including a reoffense on the very last day of his release. You responded to an article with evidence of a 50 history of universities and judicial authorities pushing rape under the rug and insisted that it must have been because there was inadequate evidence. You reveal an astounding lack of awareness of the way in which rape culture affects the judicial system.
You claim DNA evidence, bruises and vaginal tearings are insufficient evidence for the Heisman trophy rapist to be prosecuted yet you didn't raise the issues of innocent until proven guilty in the case of a woman accused of a false rape allegation. Yet you continue to argue for the innocence of accused rapists? Why? Why do you feel that is necessary? Why do you feel compelled to continually accuse women of making false accusations when DOJ stats show very, very few ever do? Overall, a picture comes together that shows what you do and don't value.

You have said feminists have a responsibility to fight for men's rights and in fact claimed feminists do not care about equality because they don't busy themselves with looking after men's issues. If feminists don't care about equality, why would you claim to be one?

You are entitled to your views, as I am entitled to mine, including whom I see as my ally. Posting here is evidence of nothing other than someone has an active account. I learn people's positions and values based on what they write, not on some sort of assumption about what being a member of DU entails. When somone make clear time and time again that he opposes what matters most to me, he is not my ally.
