the porn industry fetishizes women who look like they’re underage and that’s literally all you should need to hear to know that it’s a completely fucked up industry.
Ahem. No. I mean yes, but no. There are in fact many many ways in which the porn industry is fucked and the fetishization of young-looking women is certainly one of them but a) that is a reflection of a larger cultural fetishization of young women/obsession with virgins or perceived innocence, etc. - porn didn’t create that, it’s just usin it for profit, and while that doesn’t make it okay, it’s not like the industry created that issue in any way; b) that’s really not the whole industry, there’s plenty of porn that ISN’T like that and plenty of “feminist” type porn, you just have to search around a little; and c) saying that this one thing is indicative of why porn is bad is really simplifying a very complicated issue.
Essentially, yes that’s shitty, but like… That doesn’t make the whole industry bad. It just means there are some terrible people/ideas/whatever in the industry. There’s a HUGE difference.

This is how I feel about a lot of things lately:

Who cares?
Who fucking cares?
Seriously. Does it really fucking matter?
If you have to treat me differently because you heard I’m a feminist, you subconsciously realize that there is something wrong with your normal behavior.

men at large feel like they are being robbed of something when an attractive woman with a 90% chance of developing breast cancer gets a double mastectomy
what better illustration of the male sense of sexual entitlement do you need
Today, Angelina Jolie published a piece in the New York Times about her decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy last month. As a carrier of a gene mutation called BRCA1, Jolie cut her chances of contracting breast cancer from 87 percent to under 5 percent by undergoing the procedure. I felt so honored to read Jolie’s detailed first-person account of her experience, as well as her advocacy for all the women around the world to gain access to the too-expensive tests and procedures that have empowered her to fight for her own life. Those warm feelings were soon deflated by some of the unexpectedly nasty commentary that pooled around her story. Commenters snarked that Jolie had received a “boob job.” Some suggested that her medical emergency was just a tabloid ruse to cover up elective breast implants. Others morbidly asked after the whereabouts of the breast tissue removed from her body. “RIP Angelina’s boobs” was a typical ignorant comment. Said one commenter on a Jezebel post about the op-ed, “How many guys stopped reading as soon as they realized Angelina Jolie has no breasts—she’s dead to me!”
I’d like to dismiss these commenters as trolls, but their attitudes are unfortunately pervasive in our culture, and they don’t just represent a personal affront to Angelina Jolie, a veteran of such inappropriate body commentary. These comments affect every woman who has undergone a similar procedure—every woman who has overcome the pain, the fear, and the constant and casual reminders that her breasts are more valuable than her life. Really, these comments affect all women who have seen their bodies reduced to mere objects for others to consume.
