Porn Again [View all]
The real genius of using gender to divide and conquer is that it's timeless.
Right Wingnuts learned that long ago. It's still workin for em bigtime. Such that people are still calling themselves Republicans instead of fleeing the insanity; voting against their own best interests and even their own bodies and health.
Health is at stake here: physical, emotional, psychological, societal. It's all wrapped up together.
On this board, recent squabbles about discussing women's issues inevitably turn to issues of control, dominance and accusations of censorship.
Why? Why is being able to discuss women's rights and societal impacts on the lives of women automatically turned into a supposed affront to the rights of others?
Because they want to watch porn?
It's possible to chew gum and walk. Maybe it's possible to discuss societal impacts on gender issues AND also consider the huge can of worms that is pornography (or not even think about it).
Being pro-feminist, pro-woman, pro-healthy relationship/society is not automatically anti-male, anti-porn, anti-free speech. To pretend that it is, shuts down open discussion and serves the Right Wing agenda.
