Fuck Modern Music. I disliked Prince videos because he was the first to really porn up pop. Women reduced to tits and cunts. "Andrea Dworkin is my Sex Pistols for the #MeToo era. Next to the vacant, rah-rah version of sex positivity I grew up with in the ’90s, Dworkin’s rage seems downright clear-eyed — even if she might have called cheerful teenage sluts like me “left-wing whores” and “collectivized cunts” for imitating male models of sexuality. A foe of nuance, Dworkin nevertheless invites us to complicate our unbridled enthusiasm for sex. Last Days at Hot Slit is a mirror for what I’ve been afraid of for years: being defiant, being ugly, being unloved by men, even being unloved by other feminists like Andrea Dworkin. “Women discovered each other,” she wrote in 1974 of the early women’s movement, “for truly no oppressed group had ever been so divided and conquered.” That’s a truth worth staring in the face." https://www.thecut.com/2019/03/sex-lies-and-andrea-dworkin.html

"Sean "Diddy" Combs is on trial for racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting women for prostitution yet he's in court beaming with joy and making heart gestures like it's a fan meet-and-greet. Johnny Depp, a found wife-beater, strutted into court like it was a movie premiere with adoring fans by his side. Meanwhile, Amber Heard had to use a side entrance just to enter the court building—because she was the victim. She didn't receive adoration or applause. She wasn't met with fans holding signs of support. Instead, she was vilified, mocked, and harassed— online and in person—while Johnny Depp, a man found guilty by the UK High Court to have assaulted her, was cheered on like a rockstar. The hypocrisy is staggering. A woman speaks out about abuse, and she becomes public enemy number one. A powerful man is accused of male violence, and he becomes a martyr, a meme, a hero. This is the culture we live in—one that hates women for surviving and rewards men for abusing.

Then there’s Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate grinning and posing outside court. And Russell Brand smirking for the cameras while under investigation for multiple allegations of sexual violence.

This is not justice, it’s performance. A carefully staged spectacle where powerful men accused of abuse are treated like celebrities, not defendants. They try to charm the media, rally their fans, and turn courtrooms into platforms to boost their public image.

For celebrity men, court is another performance. For survivors, it’s a public spectacle of their trauma. "

Santa Clara University’s Crazy Idea of Human Sexuality
https://www.wsj.com/opinion/santa-clara-universitys-crazy-idea-of-human-sexuality-therapy-licensing-higher-education-44e744ce?st=YySYXh&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

"I’m a graduate student in marriage and family therapy at Santa Clara University, a Jesuit institution. Recently, I walked out of class. Prof. Chongzheng Wei had just played a video of a female “influencer” engaging in sexual bondage activity. When the lights came up, the professor smiled and asked if we wanted to try it ourselves. Maybe it was a crass joke to break the tension, but I didn’t want to find out if a live demonstration was next.
What began as a simple accommodation request in a required course called Human Sexuality turned into a case study in the reshaping of therapy training—not by science but by critical theory, a worldview that filters human experience through left-wing assumptions about power, oppression and identity, particularly regarding race, “gender” and sexuality.
The first time I enrolled in the course, students were assigned to read sadomasochistic erotica and a book called “The Guide to Getting It On,” featuring sexually explicit illustrations. We were told to write an eight- to 10-page “comprehensive sexual autobiography,” which could include early sexual memories, masturbation, current experiences, and future goals with an action plan—all uploaded to a third-party platform for grading. The syllabus allowed that students “are not required to disclose anything that causes extreme discomfort,” but that disclaimer rang hollow attached to an assignment requiring us to discuss such personal matters.
On ethical and religious grounds, I requested an alternative assignment. Cary Watson, the department chairman, denied my request, suggesting I change my plans and pursue a different type of license. In an email, she described the course as “an ‘inoculation’ of sorts . . . exposing you to content you *might* come across” as a licensed therapist. She told me that if I did encounter such things in a professional setting, I could “assuredly communicate that discomfort” to clients and decline to work with them. So why did it have to be part of my training?
I appealed to the dean, the provost, the Title IX office, the university president and even Campus Ministry. I’m not sure who was more shocked, the priest reading the syllabus or me, screen-sharing sexually explicit videos and images with him.
The course is a graduation requirement, so I re-enrolled with Mr. Wei, who is new to the school. I requested the same accommodation that Ms. Watson said “Muslim women students” had received: to complete the course remotely. Mr. Wei instead scheduled a Zoom meeting with me. He promised a professional tone and said sexual disclosure wouldn’t be required.
But in the classroom, among other things, he showed a how-to bondage video featuring a submissive wearing a “gimp suit” (a full-body garment designed to restrict movement) and played songs like “WAP” and “I Beat My Meat”—racial slurs included. A guest speaker, a male transgender psychologist, told us “only trans women have p—s that can blow up the world” and described being sexually aroused while looking in the mirror. One exercise included anonymously writing down something we disliked about our genitals or breasts, to be read aloud in class by another student."

Schoolgirls told where to sit in class by controlling boyfriends
Boys influenced by the likes of Andrew Tate are increasingly carrying out coercive and sexual abuse, say charities including JK Rowling’s Beira’s Place

https://www.thetimes.com/article/d395d220-dfe2-4813-b03a-1c3bb8f28042?shareToken=7f0f82b0d7fa57b8fce7973101039897

"Teenage girls are being controlled by their school boyfriends who demand photographic evidence of who they sit with in class, Scottish charities have said.
Women’s support services have described girls aged 13 to 17 being tracked on phones by their boyfriends, or being told to check in with them as they move between lessons.
The revelations were made at an event to discuss the impact of online pornography on the levels of violence experienced by young women. It was organised by Beira’s Place, the female support service set up in Edinburgh by the Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
Panel discussion on how social media and influencers can fuel violence against women and girls.

Participants in the conference organised by Beira’s Place told disturbing stories of how girls were suffering the effects of misogyny and sexist behaviour
Anne Robertson Brown, executive director of Women’s Aid in Angus, told the conference that in the first five months of this year five girls under the age of 16 had turned to her team reporting serious abuse at the hands of their own partner, and 38 in the 16-18 age bracket.
She said she knew from meetings that the abusive nature of relationships between teenagers was replicated “in every local authority in Scotland”. “We have a major issue,” she said. “It is not just in Angus. It is across Scotland.”

She also said her team had been called into a Scottish primary school to talk to pupils before Christmas last year because the nine and ten-year-old boys were telling girls to “get to the kitchen”, “go make me food” and “make me a sandwich”.

The girls, she said, wanted the boys to stop being sexist and behaving this way. She stressed the youngsters were hearing the phrases through the social media elements of online games, popular among the age group.

“We cannot overestimate the role of social media and influencers,” she said, in reference to the spread of toxic masculinity by online figures such as the self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate.

Women’s Aid in Angus has set up a service for under-18s experiencing behaviour such as coercive control, and Edinburgh Women’s Aid is following suit after encountering similar stories.
Robertson Brown said there were differences in the way teenage girls experienced abuse from their boyfriends, noting they were often in their first, exciting relationship at the time.
She noted digital devices such as phones played a significant role, including threats to share material with parents and classmates.

She described porn as becoming a kind of “cos play” involving girls being expected to perform acts that are shown on online pornography platforms.

“We have seen a huge increase in the use of knives against the throat to make girls submit,” she added. “Using knives is almost the new foreplay or the new sex toy.”
The charity had come across “girls having to check in with the boyfriend as they move around from class to class. Having to send pictures to show they are not sitting alongside someone they are not allowed to sit alongside.”

Linda Rodgers, chief executive officer of Edinburgh Women’s Aid, said her charity was setting up a service for victims aged 13 to 17 after hearing similar stories. Boys asking girls to send proof that they are not sat with other boys in lessons, or not spending time with particular girls in class, were among the situations encountered.

She said: “The term domestic abuse to describe a young relationship really does not fit so we were really concerned girls of that age do not get in touch with us.”
During March and April this year Angus Women’s Aid conducted a survey of 110 14-17 year olds using social media to recruit participants.

Of the boys who responded, 10 per cent admitted physically abusing their partner, 16 per cent said they would hack their social media accounts and 6 per cent said they would pressurise a partner to send them images or videos.

Their motivations for doing this included getting what they wanted, humiliating the girl or hurting them, the conference was told.

Of the girls who responded, 23 per cent said they had been forced by their partner into unwanted sexual contact.

Lesley Johnston, chief executive of Beira’s Place, said: “It is very disturbing that young girls are growing up in that world where it is normalised to be treated like that and there is an expectation to be treated like that and that young men are growing up with this value that it is normal to be abusive to girls.”
