Feminism and the Disposable Male

What has feminism done to shatter the patriarchal "women and children first" mentality, and elevate men to status as full human beings deserving of empathy and human rights? What has it done to reinforce and legally entrench the mentality that everyone, including men themselves, should put men last?

@Scalarburn Yes, they included it to include the anal rape of men. Forced sexual intercourse on men by women (accounting for 80% of the sexual intercourse forced on men last year, according to the CDC--and they don't call it rape, either) and forced cunnilingus still don't count, though.

On the other hand, feeling a woman up does. Hardly seems fair and above board.

@Scalarburn You've never sprung a boner when you didn't want one? Never woken up with one?

One guy told about passing out drunk at a party, waking up to find a stripped Q-tip inserted in his urethra and a woman having sex with him. She gave up, got dressed and left, at which point he discovered why he had searing pain in his penis. Says two years later he still has problems peeing. And yes, he was traumatized.

Women sometimes lubricate and orgasm when raped. Physical arousal is involuntary.

Wow.

Watching this was like reading a very thorough summary of The Myth of Male Power. Now I'm interested to see what else you've got to say. This was pretty amazing, and so succinct! (I love succinctness.)

One thing that separates humans from the other apes is that humans in general do NOT do the "wild thing" in front of onlookers. However, human sexuality is diverse so these porn companies can always find "actors" for their films. And that is the naked truth --- so to speak.

In the past some people watched porn out of curiousity, especially when American society got less prudish in the 1970's. I think now some people watch it for the same reason, to "keep up with the Joneses" though nowadays people in porn movies are mostly of high levels of attractiveness; in the past they were often average-looking people at best. I agree that acting in porn goes against the grain of modern Homo Sapiens behavior. See next note.

In a world with over two billion adult males, if each was wealthy enough for a computer and visited a porn site only once a year for two minutes, that is significant in gross amount but not in individual male behavior. Much porn now is free and paid by advertisers, so there is no need for the average man to buy any. There was a recent lawsuit in the States where the courts refused to regulate free porn (continued)

Very interesting.

I'm to have to go away and rethink a few basic principles.

@Scalarburn art- addressing the ways society is conditioned to see and understand art, of which gender obviously has played an *enormous* part since the year dot, and become a social battleground during and after second-wave feminism.

@Albacorewing LOL. Honestly, I was actually kinda making a serious point here too. I think you are wrong - market forces are at work here. If the average male who watched porn found it boring after a short period, then porn wouldn't be an issue as it wouldn't exist, IMO.
