2. wow

looking forward to following you!

i will have to comment on that insane woman's blog that you cite. she also has another blog where sadly, she is trying to recover some very nasty suppressed childhood memories. it is sad that she is so incredibly exploited by the patriarchy that her defense... is to vehemently defend it. oh ick.

4. Indeed --

I need to read through that blog at greater length when I have a very clear head, so it doesn't implode of course.

5. I might be needing a new hangout

I can't stay here if use of the phrase "Pro-Choice" is going to be allowed to stand as a way to dismiss women's concerns about porn.

8. I've been tossing that around as well.

Not just the use of that one word, but just the whole thing. The entire refusal to even acknowledge that women are exploited in the sex industry - and the insistence that anyone stating such are frigid prudes - and the fact that that's allowed to stand is chilling.

It's like claiming anyone concerned about the miners rights just oppose coal because they want people to freeze to death and oppose people's right to stay warm. The mocking of and personal attacks again people discussing exploitation and abuse is ... well, I just don't get it.

6. Thanks for posting ... it looks good. That PSA is freakin' unbelievable!

The more I learn about the world, the harder it is to keep hanging out here. x(

9. Unbelievable

I guess the thinking is: Since we can't possibly expect creepy-ass losers to control themselves, we'll direct a PSA toward the girls so they can be made to feel responsible for the behavior of said creepy-ass losers. What the fuck is next? A PSA entitled "Does your burka cover enough?"

Fuck you Ad Council. Fuck you Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Fuck the other organization I'm too sickened by the thing to go back and see what the symbol is.

:puke:

7. That's an excellent site.

I'm glad my boss doesn't know that I took a 2 hour lunch to browse. :P
