“What pornography has done is to make life far harder for those women in the front line of sexual servitude in that men now expect prostitutes - not just *civilian* women - to act like porn stars. The repulsive reviews of punters on various online forums bear this out as women are rebuked most often for "staying still" and "looking sad" rather than pretending to enjoy being penetrated by strangers as porn performers do.”

“In the age of cosplay, being a women has been reduced to the ultimate white male privilege; like Buffalo Bill from the Silence of the Lambs, a certain sort of man believes that he can construct a Woman Suit from words and rob us of the privileges which he believes we have. They are not actually murdering us in order to fashion their outfits, but they are attempting to remove our freedoms piece by piece.

The post op regretters were universally of the opinion that if they had been able to access an exploratory space in the first place, then they would not have pursued the irreversible physical steps, which they later came to regret.”

“There is a lost-girl quality in the nude feminists of Instagram; a topsy-turvy land where women show men their disapproval of manmade rules by delivering up exactly what men want from them. Women have spent decades protesting about wanting to be seen as more than bodies by men - and now the trend is to literally make tits of themselves in a bid to prove that they're independent women.”
