Porn script or sexual assault?
That’s the question two filmmakers recently asked a group of men for a new video project titled “Be Frank.” Created by Dutch natives Damayanti Dipayana and Camilla Borel-Rinkes, “Be Frank” is a seven-minute film featuring men discussing the recent #MeToo movement and the role men can play in combating sexual violence.
…
In the above “Be Frank” clip, Dipayana and Borel-Rinkes asked men to read different storylines and then guess whether the situation was from a pornography script or a #MeToo story. The #MeToo campaign, originally created by activist Tarana Burke, has recently sparked a cultural reckoning with how we deal with sexual violence around the world.
Although it’s revealed at the end of the clip that all of the stories are porn scripts, many of the guys have trouble discerning which ones are porn and which ones are sexual assault.
Which tells you something about porn.
The last still in the clip features a statistic that sums up the issue well: “88.2 percent of porn scenes contain some form of physical aggression against women.”
Porn is the one thing most male lefties will defend to the end. Cue male outrage in the comments on this post. I give it an hour tops.
Heh, nah, male lefties of that type have no interest in B&W.
Oh no, no Cressida. What our silly ladybrains register as male outrage is actually the necessary correction we require for failing to be cognizant of very true facts and very very sound arguments for why the popularity, with men, of scenes of female sexual humiliation, subjugation or torture is really no big deal at all. We should just be like *yawn* and get over it as empowerfulised women-type people ought.
Not going to bother defending it… but ultimately not going to do anything about it (or stand in the way of interested parties that choose to do something about it).
It’s fucked up…
Cressida, what’s even worse is all the female lefties who defend it as being “sex positive” and “empowered”.
I remember getting in an argument with a dude, here, about whether violent sex in pornography is real violence or just acting. I think I remember who it was, and he’s still here. I’ve been trying to remember what the post was about, though, and I can’t. You’ll have to take my word for it. :)
But yes, generally those kinds of bros don’t hang out here.
And the other 11.8 % is about the postman arriving at the woman’s house.
Quite possibly me.
@8, yes, it was you.
It was this one:

good god, that’s even worse than I remembered.
