Personally, my number one issue with men today is their pornsickness and how it is essentially impossible to find a man whose brain and sexuality have not been shaped by porn. I realize this is FDS, I am personally considering going full WGTOW at this point because of this sole reason. Regardless, I digress.
I find myself stuck between feeling almost obligated to mention the harms of porn when its brought up by men in my vicinity (I work in an environment with a lot of guys) and the other half of me feels its a waste of energy to even try. One coworker in particular has become somewhat of a friend of mine and was raised by two women who I get the vibe were radfems based on what he has said about them, and even he mentioned casually that he watches porn recently. I didn't argue in the moment due to the work environment but now part of me wishes I had said something. He views himself as a feminist lol.
My question is, when is it appropriate vs a waste of energy to point out the harms of porn when brought up in conversation? I feel debating with men is pointless, but on the other hand, making it clear that pornsick guys are gross and sexually and socially stunted in our eyes is a good idea IMO.
How do you ladies handle these types of situations?
Don't eveeeeer bring up serious points about porn or get into any type of debate with men. Save it for talking amongst women because women are receptive to logic. Men get extremely defensive and feel very entitled to jerk off to womens suffering. They will not debate you fairly or listen to your reason.
Just drop a casual "oh doesnt that cause ED eventually?" If they bring up porn. Then kind of look at them sadly or giggle. Dont get into it further lmao just make them self concious. If they get pervy and say they have no issues just be like "...yet 😐" or "sorry for your wife in 10 years" "the viagra business will be booming"
Hold up. Your coworker brought up porn at work? Hello, hostile work environment.
To your other question: I've stopped debating men for any reason. It's a waste of time, and even dangerous. Men try to sabotage my career enough as it is.
I just don't bother anymore. Men feel so entitled to get off on other's suffering now and they get defensive, bordering on violent, when I outfight refuse to change my views and ''accept that they have a right to porn" or that it's not harmful. They don't listen, sadly they will only care when their dicks stop working, and they still won't change their tune they'll just pop a little blue pill. By that time the brain is so fried they might as well be on heroin.
It's not worth your safety and sanity. Let the ones who can't see or refuse to see the truth rot in their jizz crusted caves and self-select out of the gene pool.
Don’t debate just shame them.
you can look into Exodus Cry for all resources and stories in how fucked up porn is and how deranged the men are. its straight up making them into pedophiles and now even childrens clothes are bought for them to jack off on. It’s horrific
This happened at work?? He is not a friend and you shouldn’t be having these conversations at work with any man
As other commentators have suggested stay away from trying to educate men about porn. I think the only real hope would be changing women's minds about porn. But sigh, that too seems a difficult proposition. I know women from teens into their 50's and mostly all have the belief that porn is normal and in some respects healthy.
If stats are true most men are watching porn. I honestly wouldn't even bother with OLD as we know men sit on the toilet swiping on women whilst simultaneously trying to push out their sticky ass turd. A lovely way to meet.
As for bringing up the subject of porn at work it's really a sign of how normalised porn has become and how men are giving away their behaviour all the time. They don't even bother to hide it anymore. If a man mentioned porn to me at work I would be seriously triggered. I'd report him and say you feel unsafe at work. That will shrivel his micro. Even if you don't feel triggered he's probably bothered about his reputation.
Don't ever bring up women's issues to the men you work with. Trust me I've tried, it only leads to them "agreeing to diagree" then treating you differently after.
Did this happen at work? Is this not sexual harassment?
I’ve been sharing anti-porn (and anti-sex work) stuff on my fb for years and years. I’ve managed to open a few minds, but most of the lib fem pickmes have given up trying to argue with me.
So if I had to talk to any guys about p0rn, I’d send memes. Just memes and perhaps some links to harms.
“all men watch porn”
—a manchild, recently
it’s too late. the best way is to lock away the really violent ones and treat a snake like it’s poisonous, regardless of whether you’re sure or not.
Yeah it’s a waste of time. Especially accounting for the fact that these are your work associates. Arguing with coworkers about things that’s not even related to work is bad for your professional life. I’m personally baffled that these men talk about porn at work in front of a woman. That is extremely disrespectful. If that is the culture at your work then idk girl maybe try another job. You deserve better than being in that environment 5/7days a week
