I made it to 'American man' in the first paragraph.

the cover picture is disturbing

 

EDIT read the whole thing, the cover picture is now the less disturbing thing

I can't bring myself to read it unless necessary (if discussions start).

That's not me telling people to discuss, simply explaining why I haven't said more.

I can't tell if the guy who wrote that "article" is being serious.

you may want to TW that for eating disorders, sexism, ableism because the content can be really distressing

 

its so depressing

So my history class today actually turned into a discussion about women's rights when one boy in my class said that the communist idea of women being equal to men was a bad one.

This discussion lasted about half an hour and mainly involved the teacher arguing with this guy and the entire class giving him disgusted looks.

I don't even know how/why this contributes to the thread, I just thought it was interesting, especially considering the fact that women still aren't exactly equal anyway. Plus it just goes to show that there are still people who think women should just stay at home and cook :(

Do you mean gender, rather than sexuality?

 

And yes, fair point. On the other hand it is fair that these things are posted across FB (where I saw it about three times), to raise the issue you raised and therefore develop and refine ideas, but also for people who never even consider these things. It is certainly the case that these things should be discussed in depth and all arguments criticised, but it's vital that simplified debates aren't annulled, otherwise plenty of the people who don't normally give a thought to these issues won't interact with it. Unfortunately, those people need to be pandered to for a full societal shift on the matter. That pic could be the thing that makes somebody click and sets them on the road to a new way of thinking, even if by the end of that journey they find that they disagree with their starting point.

 

But you have a very fair point.

Oh wait, I think I misunderstood. Have my above reply as a response to the girl/boy thing.

 

 

As for shaming children into not exploring their sexuality with inanimate objects (I think that's where you are going) then you have to look at the target market for this. It isn't aimed at the children but for parents who buy for them.

Humourous but also depressing. Shows how some think less of women if they watch pornography.

 

Funny how the "Dr" disappeard

i used to think porn was ok but tbh its kind of gross and just creates an expectation of sex to be as ridiculous as its shown and that women have no hair down there at all (like seriously are they all 12??????) so if a girl says that they watch porn i dont look down on them as if they were [TW]sluts[/TW] but more on their ignorance of how it damages the public view of what is sex :sad:

there is porn that doesn't do that sort of thing but a fair bit is really marketed towards guys and can be really shitty

Yeah there is plenty of different porn. There's also a hell of a lot of awful porn, of course.

 

I certainly wouldn't look down on someone if they watch porn. Like I wouldn't think anything if they didn't.
