In analyzing the sex-class system, feminists are accused of inventing or perpetuating it. Calling attention to it, we are told, insults women by suggesting that they are victims, stupid enough to allow themselves to be victimized. Feminists are accused of being the agents of degradation by postulation that such degradation exists.

Anti Porn Masterlist

I included a link directly to Pornhub because it’s pretty shocking how open they are about what depravity is popular. Enter at your own risk.

^^ Enter at your own risk. I included this because the kinds of things they search for are the most solid anti porn evidence I’ve ever seen.

This is a lecture Dr. Gail Dines gave at the Nova Scotia Women’s Summit in 2012. It’s about how women are portrayed in the media in general, but about halfway through (40 minutes), she starts talking about the research she’s done on mainstream porn. Said research is complied in her book Pornland, which I really recommend. That there links to a full PDF.

This is a group of articles titled The Protection Project by the Journal of Human Rights and Society. Long read, but it talks a lot about how porn contributes to sex trafficking.

This is a TED Talk by Ran Gavrieli about quitting porn that has 20 million views

I don’t trust AI. Can’t get any more specific right now but the United States government and whoever else is in cahoots with the most in power really are trusting this shit to move us forward now with the obvious flaws.

I wear my Nana’s face instead

Of my Abuela’s
Says my mother
According to her
Black is beautiful enough
To marry into
But what is it
About our face
That makes you dread?
Is it me becoming her?
Or her not finding you becoming?

“The failure of the abortion rights campaign to conduct a historical self-evaluation led to a dangerously superficial appraisal of Black people’s suspicious attitudes toward birth control in general. Granted, when some Black people unhesitatingly equated birth control with genocide, it did appear to be an exaggerated—even paranoiac—reaction. Yet white abortion rights activists missed a profound message, for underlying these cries of genocide were important clues about the history of the birth control movement. This movement, for example, had been known to advocate involuntary sterilization—a racist form of mass “birth control.” If ever women would enjoy the right to plan their pregnancies, legal and easily accessible birth control measures and abortions would have to be complemented by an end to sterilization abuse. As for the abortion rights campaign itself, how could women of color fail to grasp its urgency? They were far more familiar than their white sisters with the murderously clumsy scalpels of inept abortionists seeking profit in illegality. In New York, for instance, during the several years preceding the decriminalization of abortions in that state, some 80 percent of the deaths caused by illegal abortions involved Black and Puerto Rican women. Immediately afterward, women of color received close to half of all the legal abortions. If the abortion rights campaign of the early 1970s needed to be reminded that women of color wanted desperately to escape the back-room quack abortionists, they should have also realized that these same women were not about to express pro-abortion sentiments. They were in favor of abortion rights, which did not mean that they were proponents of abortion. When Black and Latina women resort to abortions in such large numbers, the stories they tell are not so much about their desire to be free of their pregnancy, but rather about the miserable social conditions which dissuade them from bringing new lives into the world. Black women have been aborting themselves since the earliest days of slavery. Many slave women refused to bring children into a world of interminable forced labor, where chains and floggings and sexual abuse for women were the everyday conditions of life.”

Angela Davis, “Racism, Birth Control and Reproductive Rights“  (1983)

Been meaning to re-read this ever since Roe v Wade. Conservative backlash to abortion often tries to concern troll about high rates among women of color, but as Angela wrote so much more eloquently, they don’t actually give a fuck about us and the circumstances that cause the rates. They’re content to keep us in the most poverty in the country so the kids they force us to have can’t actually live either, they’re content to ban abortion as well as continue to sterilize us which isn’t a contradiction to them, not when their goal is actually to stop seeing so many of us around no matter through what means, not when they’re just claiming “pro life” “save the children” as a front, not when black women are still most likely to die in childbirth but they don’t care if a trip to L&D ends in the morgue because “think of the fetus’s future” which is obviously just something they’re saying. Contraception and abortion are better for fetuses’ futures, they can live knowing they were wanted and not brought into this world via rape or diaspora or domestic violence or some of other form of the crushing weight of the patriarchy

“One of the risks of being quiet is that the other people can fill your silence with their own interpretation: You’re bored. You’re depressed. You’re shy. You’re stuck up. You’re judgmental. When others can’t read us, they write their own story—not always one we choose or that’s true to who we are.”

— Sophia Dembling’s The Introvert’s Way (via creatingaquietmind)
