That it's sad when porn is so commonplace that one of the pioneers in the field decide to drop nude pics altogether?


If they cannot make the ends meet, that is the reality.

Good on them. Trying to present super sleazy as super classy is a bit ridiculous. Maybe now they can actually focus on being classy, although I don't think they're going to get a wider base with their physical magazine.

If your man batter can glue metal together, you probably shouldn't be putting that in other people.

Playboy is outdated. Internet has hotter chicks.

Play boy might have been useful back in ye olden days.

When I first got Internet back in 1998, on my gateway astro, I'd load a page and it took several minutes to load.
It loaded down like a curtain. Pictures were worse, if it had any detail at all, it took many minutes to load. And you could see it as it slowly loaded each line of pixels from top to button.

Flash games took even longer. I'd go to a website(like coffeebreak) and i would leave the computer for 1 1/2 before coming back to play the game. And hope no one calls during the download.

If you wanted to use porn then, you'd have to plan it hours in advance or have some strong endurance skills.

I don't even remember if they had porn on the Internet back then.

Nowadays, it's amazing. Load HD porn as fast as you can watch it, probably.

Porno mags are dead except for soldiers in a war zone or undeveloped areas.

I'm gonna say this. Porno mags keep my men from whoring out the refugee camp. They still are useful to me.

Good news.
Less magazines objectifying women is always good news.

Radical Feminist, caring about the oppressed gender, that's why I have a strong sense of justice.

PRO:
Radical Feminism (proudly SWERF - moderately TERF),
Gender abolitionism,
birth control and population control,
affirmative ongoing VERBAL consent,
death penalty for rapists.

AGAINST:
patriarchy,
pornography,
heteronormativity,
domestic violence and femicide.

This must be a day of celebration for women, and I celebrate this day, too, not because I'm a woman, but because I'd like to see women getting less objectified.

Look, would you rather have men wack off to woman who volunteered to pose nude, or go have pay to have sex with teenage refugees?

Look, Chessmistress's posts are full of half-truths, outright lies, absurd positions, and downright illogical fuckery, including the one you posted.

But when the fuck did those two choices become the only ones available?

I'm still not seeing how the choice is "porn" or "sex with underage prostitutes". Your source doesn't show that those are our only two choices.

When the 'most important living American feminist' equates killing millions of people with taking pictures of people, that's not a good bellwether for the movement, now is it?
