Debs over at The Burning Times has a great post on how "sex-positive" feminism isn't feminism at all.

oh, and you're not as feminist as you think you are if you're trotting out the bullshit about Dworkin being anti-sex and so forth. That's not feminist at all. If I just read that statement, I'd have concluded you were just some twentysomething dude with the usual MRA prejudices about feminists and women. What next? Dworkin said all sex is rape?

Please. There is room for disagreement in feminism, which you would know if you were more widely-read in the field. I have read the works of Dworkin and MacKinnon and have found them to be fairly sex-negative. Their definition of feminist sex is limited and, well, doesn't sound terribly fun. But again, I ask, is Susie Bright not a feminist? Is Annie Sprinkle not a feminist? What about the women in the Big Bottom Revue? Is it un-feminist of me to enjoy watching gay male porn? How am I hurting women by enjoying that? Or are men in porn fair game? I certainly don't hear the anti-porn feminists decrying the objectification of Ron Jeremy.

Don't condescend to me, you arrogant little shit. Just because Dworkin isn't gushing about your kinks and illusions doesn't make your opinion valid. I've heard this crap before from other porn justifiers. Same old bullshit, different day.

And seeing as how this is Sproggenfree's LJ, I'm bowing out because I sure as hell don't need to waste my time with some arrogant little sex poz with a stick up her ass.
