(57,808 posts)of those defending rape porn? It's as though nothing you say to them can convince them to consider our rights, or the humanity of the women raped for male enjoyment on film and those subsequently raped as a result of the dissemination of porn. They just refuse to address that aspect. We're "moralistic" because we find the eroticization of rape culture repulsive, that men get off on seeing women's lives destroyed. (That part reminded me of the film on Sor Juana).
I was literally told I had no right to judge anyone who gets off on rape. When I compared it to the kind of judgments liberals make all the time about labor exploitation and dangerous work places, one responded saying "I didn't say liberals didn't have a right to judge. I said YOU don't have a right to judge." (You're a woman opposing the fact I get my rocks off watching women raped, so you don't have a right to speak.) it's not surprising that men who hate women so completely that they think watching them raped and dismembered is erotic would not give a flying fuck what any woman says to them. Our rights and our lives mean NOTHING to men like that.
The comment from one that we are "trying to punish men" by arguing against rape porn exemplifies more than anything an absolute inability to care about anything but their own desires. Those women are not human. They are objects of male erotic rage, and the rest of us who are raped by men who find watching it on film isn't fulfilling enough and then seek the real thing are not worth thinking about for a second. There is not a clearer demonstration of their contempt for women and their lives than those rape porn threads. Clearly their own arousal is far more important than our right to safety or life. What could possibly be more misogynistic than that?
I Google raped porn and saw ads for watching "Indian gang rape." "See drunk girl raped." "Watch military women raped." These are real life rapes from the newspapers than have inspired this porn to appeal to men so twisted that they see a story about Indian gang rape and think, "that sounds hot."
Know who else got off on rape porn? Ariel Castro and Ted Bundy. They learned their craft from that shit. http://www.salon.com/2013/08/01/ariel_castro_says_his_addiction_to_porn_made_him_keep_three_women_captive_for_more_than_a_decade/
There are sites advertising "basement cellar sex" for men who want to keep women locked up like Castro did. You know no person who doesn't feel inadequate gets off on shit like that. They are men so weak that they feel they can only achieve a sense of power by watching women abused and violated for kicks or then even doing the same thing in real life.
