[…] I want to talk about the sex industry as a whole and the polarization between different types of feminists when it comes to this industry. Please note that any time I use the word ‘objectify’, I use it as it’s commonly used throughout some feminist media – particularly sex negative media – to describe when a man lusts for a woman based on physicality alone. I will also note that I do not agree with this usage of the term as it lessens its impact when used to describe true objectification. […]

See… this, in my mind, is objectification of women. Stripping them away to be nothing but actual objects.

The overuse of the term to mean any time a guy lusts for a woman’s body has completely stripped away meaning from that word for me.

Good call on mentioning these most likely aren’t for the U.S. market.They seem too racy. It is odd, though, how they are presented. If they are meant as good news for anti-porn internet users, the visual “humor” would be lost on someone not familiar with porn and would most likely offend them/be considered pornographic itself. The whole thing does just look like a diabolical money making scheme. I don’t understand how this is going to work, though, other than double-charging. I mean, is there going to be enforcement at some point? What about blogs like Kitty Stryker’s Purrversatility which I adore!) that do have porn but are about so much else besides?
