1. funny how framing it as anti-native colonialism will reach a few more men

given that orgasming to escalating sexual transgression, usually against whoever occupies the role of gender female, is argued to be "natural" (as much as it's been catalyzed by the capitalist pornography industry).

I often think that if women organized around "racism" in pornography they'd get more of a hearing, at least from liberal men. Few liberal men are going to openly defend using N words and other blatant racist stereotypes, since at least in the 21st century the "blacks are naturally inferior" argument isn't publicly acceptable, at least among 70% of white society.

We shouldn't have to do that--pictures of torture from Amnesty International aren't seen as sexy when they're men and they should be defensible as natural when they're women--but somehow if the women achieve a status as member of another oppressed group of which men are members, the harm is a little more valid to the liberal pro-porn crowd.
