@imgooley01@itsbighonkin Except it doesn’t. You’re cherry picking. I explicitly said we ALL perpetuate misogyny and that I would never blame someone for making that choice.
as someone who graduated with a major in women’s and gender studies, seeing how far we’ve fallen has been horrifying. before, there was at least a PRETENSE of caring about women and their safety with #metoo. and a huge factor in this shift was the public reception to amber heard
@imgooley01@itsbighonkin Literally how is that the underlying claim? If the porn industry was just people consensually and safely being filmed having sex I wouldn’t give a fuck, but it’s not. It’s full of women being trafficked, children, and the majority of porn pushes violence against women in some way
@imgooley01@itsbighonkin Do I think choosing to go into sex work perpetuates misogyny? Kinda. Do I blame her for it? No. We all perpetuate misogyny is some way, some of us just choose to get paid for it. I’m never going to hold that against someone. where on earth did I imply she can’t criticize rapists?
@thrudascope@Rosaria__lxm Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain. No one is to blame for it. Sometimes that imbalance becomes clear earlier in life. That is not the fault of their guardians. I was put on SSRIs BECAUSE my parents are amazing, and they recognized that I needed more help.
@thrudascope@Rosaria__lxm My parents have been happily married for 20 years. They are the best parents I could have asked for. I didn’t have screen time until I was ten and I learned to read at age three. I was constantly outside playing with friends or reading books. I was still suicidal at age eight.
@imgooley01@itsbighonkin I have moral judgements against those who watch porn, not those who willingly make it. And the reason I posted that is because she was replying to a post talking about the connections in widely available pornography and unrealistic ideas of women.
@imgooley01@itsbighonkin I mean both but considering it’s scripted that way I would say the majority of it is behind the camera. And also by the men for the most part.
@imgooley01@itsbighonkin That’s quite literally exactly what I said. Note where I said no one is blaming women in the industry and rather the industry itself. Did you like read my statement at all or just went straight into this comment?
SSRIs save lives. The problem is not the SSRIs. The problem is how goddamn depressing it is to be a young girl. How the world crushes a little girl’s spirit before she can even read. You know what raises teen girls depression rates? Abortion bans. Start there.
I’ve been medicated since the age of 7. You know why? Because my parents decided they would rather have a second grader with slightly less energy than a dead daughter. If I had gone through my first heartbreak or honestly even first crush unmedicated, I would have killed myself.
A girl put on an SSRI at eight has no before.
She will move through her first crush, her first heartbreak, her first kiss, all of it dialed down a few notches, and she will never think to ask what's missing.
Around one in ten girls as of 2019 were taking antidepressants, twice as the percentage of
one of the hardest things about living with sexual trauma is being re-traumatized every time there’s a heavily publicized case in the news. watching people litigate and demonize other victims. makes you wonder what the point of any of it is, if it’s even worth speaking up at all.
@BigBicNick 20% of women are sexually assaulted while attending university. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say your school had more than five women. It is possible for a woman in your vicinity to be raped and not tell you just fyi. It must be nice to walk around this naive.
We need to talk about how porn plays apart in the rape culture that went on at Cornell.
The many men defending the rapists keep arguing that a 19 year old women would have consented to a 7 person, 7 hour gang bang.
No one thinks that way about young women without porn.
