We should call for a strike on porn now that we lost Roe. Men must say: women lost abortion, so I’m giving up porn. If women can’t control their bodies, men can’t access them.
I don’t expect this idea to catch on. But imagine if we had a truly feminist left with men who could campaign for this.
Maybe I will just start casually dropping the news that it’s obviously not okay to watch porn now and act like I’ve assumed everyone already quit, since it’s super awkward to consume porn when you know the women in it are not free in a very basic way.
not really feasible. i mean if they were really concerned about women’s rights, they would have given up when there were news on sex trafficking, child trafficking, revenge porn, leaked tapes, women raped & filmed etc. men have been watching porn, were watching porn, and will be watching porn regardless of how women rights are infringed. it’s not like they previously didn’t care about women forced to be sex workers, or women onlyfans tapes are leaked or when home made porn were leaked, and suddenly abortion rights r taken away, they’ll be cheering women on. lol. in fact, men be secretly happy about it. most human beings will be happy when more power is given to them. even if they pretend to be humble on the outside, they know they are becoming more superior. one of mens fav phrase is “pump and dump”. with abortion rights gone, men know that their seeds will be spread fat and wide. i don’t think they’ll be reducing their porn consumption.
Porn is bad no matter what and should be avoided no matter what.
Sounds like work. Men have never been on our side and roe has proven that. Since women can't control their bodies don't give men access to them, a simple sex strike (really hate that term but you guys know what I mean) is really the only way forward. The only men you would be entertaining never watched porn- so this porn strike wouldn't have done much anyways.
I think it's more feasible for women to go on a sex strike and all buy vibrators. We are only in control of our own behavior, not theirs
I mean, a HVM wouldn’t watch porn anyway. And what do we do if we win back abortion rights? Just say “okay, now you can have porn again”?
Honestly, a sex strike or a pregnancy strike would make more sense. No medical rights? No babies.
Sorry, men don't care about us that much. Most of them who are pro choice are only so because they don't want to deal with the consequences of sex. However, I think this may be a good opportunity to maybe get Sable Communications of California, Inc. v. FCC overturned. That was a supreme court decision that said porn was protected by the first amendment and couldn't be banned. If we have to deal with theocrats in the Supreme Court, we may as well use them for this.
I agree but people don’t link them and I think they should. It’s about men expecting sexual access.
