Porn is violence against women

[Grennie]

I have never been a supporter of porn, but it is only as I have read more feminist blogs and books that I have realised this is true, for the following reasons.

1. Porn always objectifies women
2. Most porn nowdays features men being violent to women as part of sex
3. Porn gives out the message that women enjoy all kinds of degrading sex acts
4. Porn teaches boys and girls unrealistic ideas of female sexuality

Thus porn has a negative impact on all women, whether you ever watch it or not.

Nope no problem with porn at all, no violence against women and girls happening here, move along, nothing to see.

Gail Dines is going to be speaking at the Stop Porn Culture conference in London in a couple of weeks. I'm not sure I can go but the link is here for anyone who wants it.
