She is so crystal clear in her communication. Her rage is palpable. And so it fucking should be

Andrea gave us her blood, sweat and tears. Her entire life was an uphill battle. We deal with garden-variety scrotacity here on FDS. But she had so much rage and disgust every day - yet she persisted.

She was brilliant, and it breaks my heart to think of what she’d say about the state of the sexual exploitation industry now and it’s effect on children.

People act all the time like the producers of pornography do not have an agenda.

When you claim in one breath that pornography should be protected as free speech, you cannot claim with the next breath that it is not promoting a message.

Messages that are reinforced via orgasm, one the most powerful reinforcement tools at our disposal.

Pornography is not simply media of consenting couples enjoying sex.

Pornography is a propaganda tool used by pimps to promote their own agenda and to profit off of the misogynistic and racist messages that they are promoting.

I have a book of her writings, Last Days at Hot Slit, and it should be required reading for everyone everywhere. She is incredible, her writing is so accessible and scathing and honest. I love her so much.

Edit to add: it's frustrating that I never even would have heard of her without FDS. This is why this sub/ideology is SO IMPORTANT.

Libfems: “Men should stop telling us to smile”

“Yes”

Libfems: “Porn is empowering, some women enjoy it. Look she’s smiling.”

“...wait”

Dworkin’s ghost busts in

“In addition, pornography is invisible in its harm to women because women are poorer than men and many of the women exploited in pornography are very poor, many of them are illiterate, and also because there is a great deal of female compliance with brutality, and the compliance is based on fear, its based on powerlessness and it is based on a reaction to the very real violence of the pornographers. Finally, the harm is invisible because of the smile, because women are made to smile, women aren't just made to do the sex acts. We are made to smile while we do them. So you will find in pornography women penetrating themselves with swords or daggers, and you will see the smile. You will see things that cannot be done to a human being and that are done to men only in political circumstances of torture, and you will see a woman forced to smile. And this smile will be believed, and the injury to her as a human being, to her body and to her heart and to her soul, will not be believed. Now, we have been told that we have an argument here about speech, not about women being hurt. And yet the emblem of that argument is a woman bound and gagged and we are supposed to believe that that is speech. Who is that speech for? We have women being tortured and we are told that that is somebody's speech? Whose speech is it? It's the speech of a pimp, it is not the speech of a woman. The only words we hear in pornography from women are that women want to be hurt, ask to be hurt, like to be raped, get sexual pleasure from sexual violence; and even when a woman is covered in filth, we are supposed to believe that her speech is that she likes it and she wants more of it.”

I have never heard of her until now. That brought me to tears. It breaks my heart the truth she speaks. And pornography has gotten so much worse than when she began her fight. We need more women to speak up. I love this group and how much we empower each other for better in our lives and for other women.

I was transfixed the entire 20 minutes. I am quaking. This was amazing.

our society no longer produces strong women like her, girls nowadays are too busy dealing with scrotes. Time will come when everyone will understand her

nymira-1 · 2021-03-30T22:44:19+00:00

More women should listen to this especially young women
