The Solution to MRA Problems? More Feminism

31. Oh I agree completely.

The disclaimers are automatic at this point, because the accusations are that commonplace. So to avoid it, many just throw it out there before they say anything else, as if that could ever even work.

I saw the most amusing deconstruction of it regarding criticism of porn. The idea that before anyone can dare criticize that sacred cow, one must first state that ... Well here I'll just post it again.

I'm pretty tired of any feminist critique of porn, in order for it to be seen as valid, the author is expected to like pornography and heartily endorse it in a disclaimer. The happy, fun, consent-filled, queer and woman-friendly stuff we see on the internet is a rarity compared to the hateful (not a strong enough word) disgusting and degrading reality that is the whole picture. Say you have a pizza, and 14 out of 16 slices are covered in broken glass and dog shit, but two slices are cheesy and perfectly delicious. If I'm reviewing it, should I have to make some statement about how great those pieces fit for human consumption were? Should I support Pope Benedicto's Dog Shit N Broken Glass Pizza Parlour because they manage to make two edible slices of pizza per pie? It not only distorts the reality of the situation, but also seriously diminishes the pain and suffering of the vast majority of human beings who've actually been through it (eaten pizza/been involved in the pornography industry.)
