I figured I'd drop in to say not all men are disgusting porn addicts that get off on the debasement of women. Probably 50 or 60% of us are but certainly not all of us are the enemy.

I, for example, completely agree that making a movie where three guys force their penis down a womens throat, regardless of consent, serves to reinforce the concept that women are objects bred only to submit to men. Its rank and disgusting conservative thinking.

Also I'm a part of the privileged class. Born a white male. And maybe the only thing that will cause the usual suspects to squeal louder than the mention of rape culture is to suggest the existence of privilege.

I'm also a firm believer that shaming is the best way to bring about the end of violent porn.

So keep up the good work.
