sex, art, and politics

Straight Dudes

Objectification and sexualization are not a priori evils, but, as a general rule, become wrong when mixed with sexism. It’s sexist bullshit that makes the ladies get all upset when you try to defend your right to objectify and sexualize fantasy ladies on the internet. Listen to what your critics are saying, boys. They’re not trying to take your porn away (well, maybe some of the Dworkin/McKinnon hangers on are, but they are heavily marginalized and nobody really wants to listen to them anymore), they’re just trying to get you to see the disconnect you have between women as actual sexual beings and the fantasy sexual beings you spend so much time with. The goal is getting you to jack off without feeding the patriarchy.
