Why anyone in their right mind would hand any more power to the state over what they can see is utterly beyond me. If feminists think that government has women’s interests at heart, they are deluded. Most of what we all find immoral is already illegal, and it can’t be made any more illegal."<br /><br />"[The 2014 Audiovisual Media Services Regulations] consist of a bizarre and random list of sexual practices that are now deemed unacceptable in UK-made porn. This is supposedly to protect children from watching stuff that you generally have to pay for online; so, for those children who have credit cards, then? In other words, what is available must now be in line with what is already out there on DVD in the UK."<br /><br />"Meanwhile, no one heads up the inquiry into sexual abuse, and rumours of a Westminster paedophile ring abound. Rotherham, we know, was the tip of the iceberg. If we actually wanted to protect children, we would."<br /><br />http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/dec/03/im-no-fan-of-the-porno-industrial-complex-but-these-new-rules-are-unworkable<br /><br />The Great Smell Of Brutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221303070617233589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-8690138553573860962014-12-02T15:15:41.626+00:002014-12-02T15:15:41.626+00:00To judge by a recent article in the New Statesman,...To judge by a recent article in the New Statesman, Object have already managed to alienate themselves from many feminists:<br /><br />"There are several stories circulating about what happened at this year’s London Reclaim the Night march. The Sex Worker Open University have criticised the organisers for including a speaker from Object, a campaign group they claim oppresses those in the sex industry by picketing their workplaces and attempting to put them out of jobs. The SWOU have also alleged the distribution of transphobic leaflets by some march attendees. This has been corroborated from the other side of the political divide, with a group of radical feminists confirming that they carried a banner stating 'Reclaim the Night is for WOMEN' and distributed leaflets 'to raise awareness of violence perpetrated by male transgenders' [sic]. This group has also reprimanded RTN organisers for reiterating that trans women were welcome on the march."<br /><br />http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2014/11/why-feminism-needs-trans-people-and-sex-workers<br /><br />The Great Smell Of Brutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18221303070617233589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169454082586985027.post-38088962154264856832014-12-01T14:32:21.535+00:002014-12-01T14:32:21.535+00:00As of 1-12-2014, the YouTube video has had 511 vie...As of 1-12-2014, the YouTube video has had 511 views.

I referred to Object as a hate group and then paused and asked all present strippers if they were happy with me using this term. There was a resounding 'Oh My God yes, they are a hate group!!!' from all assembled dancers. So the unanimous experience of dancers is that Object are a hate group and I'm sure it's the same across the board. From models, to porn performers, to sex workers to dancers - Object are bonkers!
