Aurora Linnea, the author of this joint review of @caitlin_roper ‘Sex Dolls, Robots and Women Hating’ and my ‘He Chose Porn Over Me’ understands our work at the deepest level. 1/
@caitlin_roper “Two books released in 2022 by Spinifex Press shine light on pornography’s morbid sway over men and culture, and how its ever-expanding range of desecrations brutalize women and girls, “ she opens. 2/
@caitlin_roper ..Melinda Tankard Reist’s “He Chose Porn Over Me” compiles the personal accounts of 25 women whose lives have been marred by the pornsickness of male partners. ...3/
and degradation, a woman holds sexual power — a paradoxical line of argument if ever there was one. Woman cannot be liberated as long as her existence is bound to her ability to inspire male desire...
None of the WAP lyrics are subversive — these are standard ways to flatter men sexually. The approval of his large penis; the indication that his penis is so large that it hurts; the implication that his raw, domineering, red-blooded virility cannot be restrained;
the notion of great male strength and athleticism: all are topes which are frequently used to laud male sexual prowess. As sex has been increasingly commodified with the advent of internet pornography... the demands upon the porn market have become progressively more extreme,
I don't support attacking women for being in objectifying media. But I can't believe that at 12 years old I understood that music videos are mostly scripted, directed, produced and profited off by men & thus not an authentic expression of the artist, but we're discussing if it is
Music videos are products. They're designed to maximize clicks- not liberate women. Since I've been a kid a lot of music videos have essentially been strip shows. Let me be clear: I blame music industry moguls not the women themselves for how that screwed with me as a little girl 
All of what @WomenReadWomen said is correct: Objectificaitom hurts women and it doesn't matter if we consent to it. The men who produce and consume this media don't view us as human beings. If it was liberating and humanising all male artist be stripping, too. It's that simple.

How can adults protect children from exposure to sexually explicit, sex trade advertising in these circumstances?
Cars and buses drive children to and from school past this pornographic ad. One mother reported to us that her child asked about “the dollhouse.” @OLGRQLD

Interesting personal story from a woman who quit porn.
“Growing up, I used porn to simply pass the time. In lockdown, I’m having to resist those urges.”

“Magazines like Cosmopolitan, in their efforts to normalise porn culture, encourage women to take ‘the plunge into porn’ in order to add fun and spice into their love lives. But these magazines aren’t our first encounter with porn:...”
“...like many girls of my generation, the Playboy pencil case accompanied me on my first day of high school, my pre-pubescent self? blissfully unaware of the cute bunny emblem’s significance.”

.@DrMeaganTyler told ABC that porn has become normalised in our society and the demand for "ethical porn" was part of that.
"Why is [there a] desperation for there to be an ethical porn, rather than the question of what would sexuality look like without pornography now?"

"In a post #metoo era if we're really talking about sharing equal sexual relations between men & women I cannot see the porn industry is part of that.”
"You can't say you're pro-Me Too and pro women's consent & still masturbate to material that fundamentally subordinates women."
