So you don't like porn ? Turn it off. I didn't realise it was compulsory viewing.

A totally ignorant view of man's fallen nature which thrives on being fed perversion.

I'd like to thank GY for publishing this article. It's not often that we get to read such a mish-mash of undergrqaduate gender-studies dogma and outright self-loathing.

She did say something completely accurate, although she intended it to be ironic (I think, but as a man, how can I possibly be trusted to hold an opinion) which was:"Forget violence, objectification, oppression, feminist film theory, powerraceclassgendersexism,"

Excellent advice. Forget the word "patriarchal" as well. After you've forgotten all of that, you could do worse than to forget everything written about the sociology of gender over the past 20 years.

If you can manage all of that, you might just have some room left in the ol' noggin for some actual thinkin' gear.

Or you could just google "porn" and learn that there are lots of women who are making lots of money out of doing what comes (more or less) naturally on film.

I doubt that many of them would be bothered whether they're part of "the dominant discourse" or not, as long as someone's prepared to pay. "How do you make a hor-mone? Don't pay her".

Oh and Meghan? If you don't like sexism, why are you working so hard to promote it?

Antiseptic,
I agree. I really couldn't understand the article that much, but then I don't consider myself totally feminist.

But do these "women's studies" courses ever pay the rent or pay the electricity bills?

Only for the feminist lecturers.

So they have to keep the system going, even though such courses ultimately devalue the degrees of everyone else who attends the university.

Gee I hate to interrupt this anti-feminist, pro-porn rant, but really guys, you didn't get this article at all did you?

This author is not anti-male at all. She is not even really anti-porn.
She is trying to say that male sexuality came before porn was ever invented, and they don't need porn to get their kicks, although porn may add to the excitement nowadays of course.

I don't have a problem with soft porn, but I abhor anything that depicts violence, as I think it sends the wrong message to any sicko's out there who can't get an erection without violence.

I think rather that anti-feminist the comments are anti "gender" feminists or anti- "Radical" feminist.

The "fun fems" as the "rad fems" call them simply are not with the program! Fun fems actually advocate for gender equality not female supremacy and male vilification or eradication.

"This author is not anti-male at all. She is not even really anti-porn."

read her blog the http://www.feminisms.org/ and the original version of this article without the overt misandry removed she is indeed anti mal
