| caroline-NL Member 543 Posts 3/07 | teen porn movies had never so many female fans. If GGG, Max Hardcore or stupid gonzo porn had been among the first porn movies I had watched, I would NEVER have been interested in watching more porn. Never. No way ! I think, I would have been a member of an anti-porn coalition. Luckily, girlfriends "forced" me to watch a dutch Seventeen Schoolgirls video. You are true, that so many women have enormous prejudices regarding porn. But many porn labels cultivate these prejudices...... |
| Shagdog Member Houston 626 Posts 1/07 | The oldest cave drawing we have found so far was of people having sex. Go to art galleries of Europe you see panting of people fucking. The artwork from every civilization depicts all the perversions known to man. As soon as the camera was invented people started making porn. Every generation think they invented fucking. Society has always gone though brief periods of conservatism but always moves away from it. People like to fuck, watch people fuck, and be scene fucking.No the feminist are not conservative but they did join the ultra – conservatives on sex related issues. Mostly on the age of consent and sexual harassment laws. The ultra – conservatives were shamed into supporting these laws. Very little if any damage was done to porn. But I don’t see what damage was done to porn. Now if another republican is elected president I think you will see some real damage done. |

Coming from Texas here I confronted a lot of feminist hating conservative and liberal men. But when I ask them questions about the feminist agenda and laws that were passed It seems they are feminist too. Question 1 Should your brother-in-law be able to beat the shit out of your sister. Answer no Question 2 Should your daughter have to fuck her boss to keep her job Answer no Question 3 Should your wife have to work for less money than her male co-workers Answer no Clinton in 08 |

| caroline-NL Member 543 Posts 3/07 | Feminists are splitted in two groups : The conservative feminists and the independent or individual ( press labelled us "pro porn" ) feminists. Conservative feminists arent 100% conservative, they are still pro-abortion, they still defend the rights of the women on work ( equal payment, no sexual discrimination ). But they hate porn and fight against porn. Here they work together with ultra-republicans and even the catholic church. iFeminists are more independent, but they defend porn and the right to watch it and to play in it. They also fight for better working conditions of prostitutes and porn actresses. Some, like me, fight for lower minimum ages in porn, I would prefer a 15 years of age minimum, some say 16. But this isnt a point the US iFeminists have, its more based in NL or DK, where we had a 16 or 15 minimum age for porn before. We just want our old european laws back. Not the 18-laws, the US government has enforced on our governments. Nothing more and nothing less. So Feminists arent Feminists at all. Some posts on this forum are really not friendly with us feminists. Please differentiate more, ok ?

The word feminist has too much negativity associated with it now to be of any value to anyone who really wants equality. And I'm not sure the goals of people who want equality can even be attained through politics now. No matter which way feminists go, as long as they're known as feminists, they will give that particular political party a bad rap. Which isn't to say either political party (In the US anyway) doesn't already have a bad rap. Just that neither of them needs any more and they both know it. They will not willingly openly associate themselves with people who have a history of extreme controversy. The Republican party is already bristling with radicals. The Democratic party is fighting for it's very existence. If they lose another election, they'll be largely irrelevant. People aren't very happy with either of them. I don't like the idea of where the extreme right wing would take feminism. They will simply use any cause they can use to achieve goals that are inconsistent with the spirit of liberty. When the extreme left gets it's hands on a cause, they're often no better. Some of them may actually have good intentions but they often go too far. Gun control, for example. It's not necessarily a bad idea but some of the guys who are for it are not about keeping guns out of the hands of criminals. They're about banning guns altogether and gun control is just a first step. The foot in the door. Now with the anti-terrorism thing, the far right and the far left may have something in common with gun control and that's, frankly, frightening. As far as porn goes, I'm not going to be a happy camper to see anyone doing anything anti-porn. Because I don't agree with that viewpoint and I tend not to get along with people who hold it. I find them, generally, overbearing and oppressive. I don't think they have any interest at all in helping people. I find their goal feels more like an effort to push their views on everyone else. Porn can be outrageous. It can be shocking. It can even piss you off. But nobody ever has to watch porn. But that's not enough for some people. It bothers them that anyone does watch it. They can't stand the thought that their neighbor might be watching porn. It doesn't really matter to them what kind of porn it is. Now I'll give you that these control freaks are of every political stripe you can imagine. But you've got to pick a side in politics. And hopefully, the side that will do the least damage to your way of life and your political and philosophical outlook. |

| conquistador Deactivated User Hellhamster. 2947 Posts 10/03 | When I was at university the campus feminist group set up a bake sale in one of the main buildings one afternoon. Their point was to try to do a very real illustration of the "Wage gap" between men and women. So their thing was, for instance (I am pulling these numbers out of the air to make a point)a cook that would cost .90cents for a female would cost 1.00 dollars for a male. It was a bizarre way to make their point, because sure, the wage gap is a problem but at the level of university students it is not a realistic problem to tackle. At the time I was working a minimum wage job, there was no wage gap in *my* world. It did make me aware of the wage gap however, but they didn't seem to get to get that a young white male can be poor too. It should be about equality. |

| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | As Caroline says there are a fair number of modern (usually younger) feminists, in North America they are usually referred to as Third Wave, who are in favor of the possibilites of better made pornography. In English speaking countries Linda Williams book Hardcore has had a major influence on feminist ideas around pornography, Williams crazy idea was to actually watch pornography before judging it. |

I can't even imagine Brad Pitt or George Clooney doing the same thing for Jeff Mike, Rob Black or Max Hardcore today. |

| PaellaMan Member Madrid, Spain 40 Posts 3/07 | Here we got porn talk shows in national broadcasting with xplicit images (it's a late night), and our pornstars are mainstream celebrities, you can watch inties with them while you're eating. And don't talk us about editing movies for TV, NR-18s or that things... that is the Franco way!!! IMMO you should be proud of your porn, specially of the 80's, when there was no guts and USA porn were king... they were bringing you millions of dollars of foreign revenues every year! |
