21 Reasons I'm Against Porn

Porn as an industry is exploitative.

It creates a market for human trafficking.

It is degrading and objectifying towards women.

It eroticises misogyny and female humiliation.

Popular porn categories eroticise things such as racism, paedophilia, domestic abuse, and infidelity.

Lesbian porn is primarily consumed by straight men and presents lesbians as a commodity for male sexuality.

Sites such as Pornhub have hosted videos of real rape and child sexual abuse material.

Studies indicate that prolonged exposure to pornography desensitises both men and women to sexual violence.

Although pornography addiction is not currently recognised in the DSM, there is evidence to suggest that watching porn creates a compulsive habit.

Porn causes self-esteem issues in both sexes.

Some studies suggest that men who watch porn have a harder time maintaining healthy and happy relationships.

Porn consumption has been linked to erectile dysfunction and anorgasmia in men, and vaginismus in women.

Porn actresses are often drugged.

Porn consumption is known to cause relationship problems.

The rise of 'interactive' porn sites like OnlyFans has encouraged parasocial relationships.

Young girls are being pressured to do OnlyFans.

There have been cases of children sexually assaulting other children because they had been exposed to porn.

Porn has normalised violent sex acts such as sexual strangulation.

Porn encourages unsafe sexual practices such as having intercourse with multiple partners with no protection.

The accessibility of porn has normalised fetish content, including potentially dangerous fetishes like knife-play, feederism, etc.

Revenge porn and non-consensually posted porn is rampant.

https://www.instagram.com/fluence.co/: They say 87% of non-human characters on children’s shows are male, so we looked at our favorite films as children and counted. In our estimates at Fluence, less than 9% of non-human characters from our favorite childhood shows were female. But does that really matter? It turns out it does. In many Disney princess movies these side characters have a lot more speaking time than the main princess. Mushu speaks more than Mulan. Iago speaks more than Jasmine, etc.

And yes, Raja from Aladdin is a boy. The word raja literally means “prince”. Sorry to be the one to tell you. We’re working on an IGTV episode all about Disney’s focus on male characters in Princess movies, but here are some sources if you want to get a jump on the reading for extra credit.

Do men know how dumb and stupid they sound like? “I love women but if a woman lets her own body hair grow she’s gross and disgusting and I will throw hatred at her until she’s ashamed of her own body and gets rid of pieces I don’t like” Like, you sure you love women?

“If you are interested in the liberation of women, you’ll find that the biggest barrier to this is men: men as a class. I used to think, “I don’t hate all men.” I had therapy and everything. Now, I think that any intelligent woman hates men. There are very few problems in the world that don’t have, at the root of them, male violence and woman-hating.”

How could anyone read a history book and not deplore men?

How do I talk my friend out of getting fillers? She says she’s hesitant to do it because it would make her a “bad feminist” (which… well, yeah), but she’s still leaning towards it. Are there any radfems out there more familiar with fillers, who can give me other reasons to present to her to convince her not to do it? (E.g., it doesn’t look natural, it can go wrong, anything.) I know she’s gonna regret it if she gets them.

I know it's uncool and blasé to be angry about the fact that 2/2 women lost the presidency to a man that bragged about sexually assaulting women but I can't help it

I have done such a good job of taking the word "bitch" out of my vocabulary, I barely say it anymore.

But I'll say my hatred of hearing that word increase. I feel extremely uncomfortable with anyone saying it. When I have to read something and it has that word I feel uncomfortable 😭 even when someone says it as a joke or randomly that is not directly at me, I feel so weird about it. I just cannot stand that word anymore. I prefer if the world uses it less even though that's never going to happen.
