I'm presenting this article for discussion, not because I agree with anything written in it. This is from an independent college newspaper and most likely written by a student.

Key points include:

...pornography does more than merely degrade women; it degrades sex and all human participants. The feminist perspective only seems to denounce degradation if it happens to show women as inferior within a hierarchy.

Determining when women are explicitly depicted as sex objects (in pornography) for the enjoyment of men would be impossible on a widespread scale.

It is impossible to depict women as anything more than sex objects in any form of pornography.

They (feminists) must admit that hedonistic depictions of human beings can have negative effects. The feminist who admits this puts himself/herself into a daunting political position that must simultaneously defend hedonism and seek to address its clear negative effects.

Agreed. It feels like he wanted to whine more about feminism than porn imo

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
