Text of the page (random words):
non pornographic presentation viewable here illegal 2257 says a whoever produces any book magazine periodical film videotape or other matter which 1 contains one or more visual depictions made after november 1 1990 of actual sexually explicit conduct and 2 is produced in whole or in part with materials which have been mailed or shipped in interstate or foreign commerce or is shipped or transported or is intended for shipment or transportation in interstate or foreign commerce shall create and maintain individually identifiable records pertaining to every performer portrayed in such a visual depiction it goes on to talk about specifics and penalties in a nutshell this means that anyone who produces pornographic shit needs to have records verifying who the victims are and how old they are because remember porn magically becomes a safe industry after a woman turns 18 the parties opposed to antipornography activism in a full out defensive breath holding temper tantrum are claiming with much mock indignance on the part of pornography victims performers that people who put together such slideshows that include pornography for demonstrative purposes are in violation of 2257 in that they don t have the aforementioned identification documents on site i smell male logic tm at work taking a clear valid law and messing around with the meanings of words and the original spirit in which the law was intended in order to punish the people that they are opposed to but whose goals the law was intended to help along while at the same time not insisting on the same application for industries and activities they favor is pretty classic they use a process i like to call i couldn t find a flaw in the first thirty seconds on thinking about this idea so it must hold water it s the same kind of thinking that gives us men are hardwired by evolution to love big breasts and women are underrepresented in science and engineering and other high prestige high paying fields because they just don t like math it scratches the surface of an issue creates a soundbite and sends the soundbite around the world to make it gospel to wit i imagine said parties would not insist that x rated movie theatres so called adult bookstores or pornographic video stores are noncompliant with 2257 because they don t have the requisite identification documents on hand furthermore if 2257 were as strictly applied as some with a porn addiction and or a financial stake in the sex industry claim they would like it to be it would subject a dude who gets his buddies together to watch his latest porno to criminal charges and fines since he doesn t have the documentation in his bedside table and would therefore be liable for presenting it to his pornsick friends i might accept that trade off anti porn radical feminists and radical pro feminists are no longer allowed to show an audience an informative slideshow or video as long as individual dudes are not allowed to show an audience a titillative slideshow or video and adult bookstores are no longer allowed to include peep booths and x rated movie theatres and video stories must get copies of all the relevant documentation for every movie they show or carry of course the pro porn crowd including the odd male pro porn feminist doesn t promote that particular set of stringent applications because a those consequences only show up in the brain at around 32 seconds of thinking and b they only want to use the law to protect their interests not thwart them now in the interests of full disclosure i will admit that i have not seen stop porn culture s slideshow nor any of the pornographic ones gail dines is reputed to be responsible for nor do i necessarily agree with that particular method of education the efficacy telling people to stop using pornography via showing them lots of pornography is to my mind rather arguable at least in that most people men especially who profess ignorance of the content of modern pornography are probably liars seeing as our society is pretty much being pickled in a barrel of porn brine having said that a number of activists including some i personally respect consider it to be a viable and effective method of education and communication and it appears the pro porn lobby agrees with them elsewise they wouldn t be going to the trouble of trying to selectively misapply parts of us law to lever said tactic out of stop porn culture s hands i suppose what really ruffles the finches feathers is that the pro porn lobby seems to show so much concern for the rights of porn participators when it comes to using their images without proper documentation but not when it comes to say their terrifyingly high rates of ptsd or the fact that 80 of them don t even get the courtesy of a condom much less how they tend to discount the stories of any woman who has been horribly abused by the porn industry no no their arbitrarily applied concern is over documentation that s obviously the important issue a birch tree male logic tm is merely a reference to the skewed and often idiotic twisting of actual logic that is often used by men trying to justify the un justifyable but its use is no longer constrained by gender i mention this so that nobody gets the idea that the subjects of this post are exclusively male posted in feminism links sex industry tagged activism anti pornography feminism 3 comments on trusting men posted by a birch tree on july 16 2008 when i logged on today the finches said to me tree don t get sidetracked we ve got a huge post on transgenderism transphobia to research and we ll probably have enough grist left afterwards for another fact dump you ve got three hours use them wisely then just as i got started i ran into the furor surrounding kyle payne a self proclaimed radical pro feminist blogger and sexual assault advocate is arrested for raping and photographing an unconcious student at buena vista university where he is a resident advisor i read that post and my stomach churned i read some of the other links back and did a quick google on the situation and my stomach positively flipped over you know how they say child molestors will try to find jobs or homes where they have easy access to children that s exactly the kind of thing this man did he had a rape fetish and put himself into a position to be close to the kinds of victims he fantasized about he listened to and probably got off on stories of women s nightmares from the mouths of the victims themselves who had no idea that they were being re victimized right there in his presence he was finally caught acting on his deviant fantasies by the university and the police when they found his homemade rape porn on his computer some comments in this blog claim that his computers were originally siezed in a search for child pornography and that it is stated in the search warrant records i haven t looked up that information myself but you know what it wouldn t surprise me at all how many women poured their stories of trauma and terror to this man only to have him masturbate about them how many women will be afraid to take advantage of services for rape victims due to the harm this man has caused so many women and most importantly how many women did he rape that he didn t videotape this is exactly why men should not be working with rape victims in an advocate or crisis counselor capacity men cannot be trusted maybe if i m feeling generous i might allow for the idea that not all men do this and there are some loving caring wonderfully fuzzy happy men who work in this field for the sense of personal fulfillment blah blah blah i can t for the life of me figure out how someone could justify forcing the vulnerable traumatized women who call these centers to take such a significant risk of re victimization just because there might be a dude somewhere who has bucked his sociosexual training enough not to take advantage of every perceived position of power over women to fulfill his own sense of entitlement to among other things feelings of control and sexual titillation is a man s desire innocently and helpfully motivated as it may be to work in this specific field really worth more than women s desires not to have to worry about being re victimized is this issue really so important for men that it s worth making rape victims add an extra set of anxieties on top of the ones resulting from the rape itself for example will is did my rape crisis counsellor get getting off on the story of my brutal rape was is that exciting for him does he want to rape me too the only people that the whole women shouldn t automatically distrust men because we re not all rapists meme benefits are rapists any man who gives a shit about women and their daily struggles wouldn t be offended by distrust or suspicion any man who is trying to toss his load of priviledge and entitlement would welcome the opportunity to prove his general good ness via a slow progression of time over which he demonstrates in all his behaviors large and small in all social and private contexts that he is not a dickwad rather than simply having the assumption made that because he has a penis he is the embodiment of all that is upstanding and trustworthy in spite of the intense rate at which crimes against women are perpetrated by penis wielders in this society as far as this specific case is concerned the ripples from this man s actions continue to spread some blogs go so far as to take his actions as an indictment of the anti pornography movement paraphrase see people who don t use porn are the really dangerous repressed ones with scary dark sides this guy proves it some people say the radical feminist movement should have to answer for this dude since he claimed to be among their number and linked to a bunch of their blogs lots of people are really quick to blame women for either this man s actions or for trusting him to begin with fingers point fur flies this man s crimes are used to futher unrelated personal vendettas at the expense of his victims women who had no idea this man even existed are called to task for not denouncing him we live in patriarchy after all everything bad a man ever does can eventually be used to shame blame or discredit a woman or two the status quo marches on a birch tree how do i make this and some of the above assumptions pretty simple actually he s a rapist he committed rape and he presumably got off on rape ergo this man gets off on rape ergo he probably got off on accounts of rape his victims gave him turning it into an even sicker form of pornography posted in feminism liberal men rape uncategorized tagged feminism male pro feminis rape 4 comments from the hightening my cynicism file posted by a birch tree on july 9 2008 i ve been hit with a double wammy to my faith in the general basic goodness of humanity in just the last twelve hours or so late last night aria and i were watching the secret lives of women eating disorders on the we network it was a pretty good show following a quartet of women who have various eating disorders talking to them and their families about their feelings and struggles and treatments then we get to the commercials in the words of dave barry i swear i am not making this up weight watchers we sold ad time during a show about eating disorders to a predatory diet company and then just when i had finished saying wtf mate it gets worse they run an ad for bariatric surgery seriously what the hell are they hoping some poor woman with anorexia might be watching the show and saying wow look at that maybe i should look into getting some help and then see the surgery ad and go yes that s the help i need right there sign me up see fig 3 7 then this morning aria points me to an article in the uk s daily mail found via life after the oil crash if last nights commercial shock pegged my cynicism needle this story shattered it just two days ago gordon brown was urging us all to stop wasting food and combat rising prices and a global shortage of provisions but yesterday the prime minister and other world leaders sat down to an 18 course gastronomic extravaganza at a g8 summit in japan which is focusing on the food crisis words which have never been exactly willing and pliable beasts to my harness stop in their tracks

posted by a birch tree on june 26 2008 so my discharge went through and i m home with my family which is really really good news it gets better every day i m home i really feel like i dodged a bullet in spite of my ambivalence while i bristle a bit about being offically labeled as nuttier than squirrel shit in the mental health department i went nearly 30 years and never noticed as i may have mentioned once already watching world events and reading heart s post about navy rapists i can t fight the feeling that had i managed to stay in the navy i would have ended up just as bad as all of the people i wrote about in a hall of shame and or slowly rotting in at the bottom of the sea at the start of the next world war fortunately i ll never know being home again after all this time has a lot of challenges like finding a real job tm re integrating into civilian life getting to know my family and my role in it from a new perspective and so on and so forth that s made posting a bit more of a hassle than i m ready to tackle on a regular basis i ve put up a couple of things but nothing substantial i ve got some ideas that are formulating though and i anticipate a couple good meaty posts coming in the next week or two after aria and i get back from our backpacking camping trip in the meantime here are a few things i ve been reading that i recommend updates on the new jersey 4 dandrige and hill have had their convictions overturned rejoice a discussion of women s choices over at feminist 101 i cannot for the life of me find it but i m reminded strongly of a post put up a very long time ago by one of the uk feminist bloggers i think she said she always believed it was her free choice to shave her legs until she did an experiment to prove it and didn t shave her legs and after a couple weeks her boyfriend had a complete fit and she realized that she had less freedom of that choice than she thought i wish wish wish i could remember who posted it and could find that
