You can finally watch the brilliant talk Clarice Saadi from MATRIA (@MATRIAoficial) gave at #MACS2025 on YouTube 👇

https://t.co/YPLa8tC5M0

In her talk Clarice explains how transgender ideology has become embedded in Brazilian life and how gender ideology is eroding women's rights and freedom of speech.

Clarice covers important recent developments in Brazil, including the supreme court’s passing of an illegal 'homo-transphobia' law and the case of Isabella Cêpa, a feminist who was recently granted asylum in Europe as a refugee, after facing up to 25 years in prison for tweets falling under this law.

📺 We released @jo_bartosch’s & @robjessel16’s talks at our Men Challenging Sexism Conference to celebrate the publication of their book #Pornocracy today.

https://t.co/Rcd4bTgrTO

Jo and Rob speak about how pornography fuels misogyny, driving a wedge between the sexes and how we can all make a difference by putting pressure on the educational system and politicians to engage honestly & transparently with parents about pornography.

It was great to have @nordicmodelnow and some of our other speakers including @Vaishax, @MelTankardReist and @caitlin_roper in the room for the Q&A!

🪩 We've just released the 1st of many talks from our Men Challenging Sexism Conference in Brighton earlier this month on YouTube.

📺 Tune in as Vaishnavi Sundar (@vaishax) exposes the chilling extent of public sexual violence in India. Her talk reveals the societal factors enabling such acts and the punishment these men often evade. Vaishnavi’s talk was eye-opening and hard-hitting.

Please Keep an eye out as we are hoping to release another recording in the next 2-3 days!

#FFS (For F**k's Sake) indeed!

Was initially surprised that @ladbible was doing a campaign about pornography with @MovemberUK, Fumble and Pivotal Recovery.

Then when statements like "porn can be a lot of fun" and “we know porn is controversial” started appearing in the video, it made a lot more sense… 🤦‍♂️

It seems like the idea is to catch viewers’ attention with light-heartedness and ‘liberal’ attitudes towards pornography. Although the report is more realistic, ‘liberal’ attitudes and a narrow perspective currently mar the campaign.

If the goal is to #LetsGetHonestAboutPorn we suggest that the campaign should, amongst other things:

👉 also speak to those who have exited / survived the pornography industry instead of only speaking to those currently working as pornographers and attending glitzy industry events (i.e. XBIZ);
👉 speak about the horrific physical damage women’s bodies endure when dismantling porn myths, instead of having “hilarious” videos about pornography myths like performers using shampoo to emulate semen;
👉 talk about why Sweden passed a law earlier this year banning the purchase of sexual performances for viewing online (incl. those on platforms like OnlyFans);
👉 use the correct descriptive terms for acts - e.g. strangulation, not choking;
👉 speak about the connection between pornography and the wider sex trade (prostitution, lap dancing, strip clubs);
👉 highlight the fact that viewers can never be sure whether the women and men in pornography have given enthousiastic consent to every act;
👉 talk about the risk of watching illegal content (e.g. rape videos, videos featuring underage girls etc)

“It’s shameful that it took the tenacity and bravery of one female employee ... to force NHS Fife to concede that staff changing and toilet facilities should be operated on the basis of biological sex.”

If this is you, your mate or if you see a guy filming / taking a photo of a woman or girl without her consent, say something!

Behaviour like this is NOT normal. It’s invasive & abusive.

What would you say/do?

Say: “What are you doing?”

Do: “Stand in front of his camera.”

Highly recommend @bindelj's article on perpetrator programmes. She raises important points about prevention, perpetrator programmes and the lack of of support for women survivors.
