What is feminist porn?

Apparently Women's Day Derby are hosting an event entitled Is pornography harmful for society?
So far so good, but then goes on to use the term feminist porn.

I guess they know there’s no point trying to ban porn (if only! But the male MPs would never vote for it).

So they mean they want the porn that is made to be not harmful to women ie not be trafficking victims being hurt and told they love it while teenage boy watch and learn that’s what men should do to women.

Calling it ‘feminist porn’ is dumb they should have been honest and called it “less harmful porn”.

And using the word liberating sounds dumb as well.

Q. What is feminist porn?
A. A contradiction in terms.

Feminist porn- a bit like free range meat. Make yourself feel better about doing something you know is wrong.

This is the event that band WRN from having a stall twitter.com/WRNDerbyshire/status/1634523693064790016/photo/2

Why "feminist-porn" is an oxymoron, with Gail Dines

FemaleAndLearning · 18/03/2023 09:31

Thanks for that podcast, I've just listened. Gail is amazing. Ironically at this pro porn event in Derby they are screening Pornland by Gail Dines. I just don't understand how they can believe in feminist porn whilst at the same time calling themselves feminists. It's a complete contradiction. From what I can see this is THE women's group in Derby (with various sub charities HERStory, Vox Fem all run by same person) and as a previous poster said they banned WRN from having a stall at IWD.

Honestly, in this society there is no such thing as "feminist porn". I fell for that shit hard in my 20's because I actually have somewhat of a bi aspect to me and I did nothing for me ultimately. Soleless, unsexy typical imaginative male gaze shit all of it, typically zero aesthetic or ambience just Gonzo slap dash focus on the penetration hich makes sense because that is how men tick. However, I generally find that biological females as opposed to the err, other kind have a much greater aprecciation for form, sensuality, atmosphere and aesthetic and for me that is always missing.

Plus I'd rather get lost in the moment of having actual real life sex with a person I actually know. Been there, done it, yawn.

Small point, and I might be misremembering, but aren't the Soroptimists absolutely captured?

FemaleAndLearning · 18/03/2023 12:39

This is not the Soroptimists, though they they had a stall at IWD Derby. WRN Derby/Staffs who were there said a couple of Soroptimists spoke to them and were on board with WRN values.

This is Women's Day Derby who host IWD Derby, Reclaim the Night, Fox Feminista, HerStory. They are THE so called voice for women in Derby but in my view they are dishonest about their feminism. It includes men and thinks porn is good for women, totally out of touch. I suspect the Leader knows all the right people in the Council.

Looks like they were just tagged in on the FB post by Women's Day Derby.

An Oxymoron

VaddaABeetch · 18/03/2023 17:43

Or looking at men pulling their weight, doing their fair share, listening to women?

IwantToRetire · 18/03/2023 20:09

Ironically at this pro porn event in Derby they are screening Pornland by Gail Dines.

Is it just possible that they screened this to show that it cant be feminist and is harmful to society, but especially women.

But deep down I suspect not.

How depressing it all is.

Almost makes me want to sign up to twitter so as to be abl to comment.

AnneWhittle · 18/03/2023 20:35

I think its reasonable to ask the question, 'can there be such a thing as feminist porn?'

FemaleAndLearning · 18/03/2023 20:48

Women's Day Derby are on Twitter and Facebook. They blocked most of us on Twitter last week. Facebook they are deleting questions.
Women's Day Derby allow anyone who identifies as a woman to be on their committee. We can assume they are TWAW. So I do believe they are pro porn and think it can be done in a way that is feminist. As can be seen from the Leader of Women's Day Derby (and all the other reiterations of this in Derby).
The post is a complete contradiction. I think they have lost their way with feminism and are confusing themselves in order to be inclusive.

I would be interested to see feminist porn, made for women, actors that genuinely enjoy making it, focussed on women's pleasure.
But not enough to pay for it. I'm kinda meh, watching people have sex isn't something I'd pay for. I'd rather actually have sex.
Assuming most women are like me, feminist porn ain't gonna happen.

Enough men however are more than happy to spunk (literally) money satisfying penis needs, so porn is here to stay. See also prostitution.

FemaleAndLearning · 18/03/2023 21:19

They are far too late to the game to make porn feminist (not that I believe that is possible) it's gone too far in so many ways and yes it is all about men's needs (I'm told!).
