50 Actual Facts About Rape

47. When certain members continually dismiss feminists as "prudish" or "sex negative"

It is clearly meant to trivialize and deligitimate concerns. That was part of the reason for the thread I posted expressing appreciation of men who prefer sex with real women to porn. That brought on its own shitstorm.

Not liking rape or rape porn has nothing to do with not liking sex. Rape isn't sex. Porn isn't sex, and rape porn most certainly isn't sex. That they think it is suggests something seriously wrong, IMO. I thank God everyday that this is only the internet,and I will never have to encounter them off-line, particularly the one who spouted the GOP views of forcible vs. non-forcible rape and insisted that the victims (female victims anyway) are as responsible as rapists (though he said men) for their own assault.

I'd also like to point out that many of the so-called sex negative feminist writers are lesbians. These men assume that without a man, no sex occurs. Gay and bi women would disagree. Amazingly, they make these same claims about sex negativity along with accusations of heteronormativity with absolutely no awareness that women too are homosexual.
