Porn is about fantasy sex - and the truth is that some women have rape fantasies. But this is very different from the real thing
"It does not mean we would enjoy being raped, or that we deserve to be raped. Let's not teach teenagers that Planet Porn is inextricable from the Real World."
"If we are honest with ourselves, a lot of women have indulged in sexual fantasies about rape. This does not mean we would enjoy being raped, or that we deserve to be raped, in the Real World. Interestingly, few women I know would openly admit to this. The reason I happen to know it’s true is because I’ve interviewed a lot of men who say that their partners have admitted to having rape fantasies in moments of intimacy that can only exist between lovers."

Professor Clare McGlynn
"Clare also co-led the pioneering ESRC funded Feminist Judgments Project which put 'theory into practice' by writing the 'missing' feminist judgments in key cases (Research Briefing here). The judgments, published in Feminist Judgments: from theory to practice, powerfully demonstrate how cases could and should have been decided differently."

Nice Balanced Terminology - Not
October 12, 2012 - 2:03PM
Attracted to children
"Plagued by abhorrent desires, Sven tries to live right. A confronting documentary that follows him as he seeks help will screen in Sydney this weekend.
Still from the documentary Outing
Sven was still a teenager when he realised he was sexually attracted to children.
"There was a case of a 10-year-old girl that had been sexually abused and killed by her uncle," the 26-year-old student says at the beginning of Outing.
We wouldn't expect to see such a controversial documentary on TV or commercially screened.
"That was when the term paedophilia was on the news.
"That was when I realised that I was like that myself.
"That I was a pig like him who might end up killing someone."
Sven's startling confession opens the documentary that follows his efforts to seek professional help to curb his sexual desires.
Sven does not doubt that his sexuality is repugnant: "And for me that's absolutely clear: any kind of sexual contact with children is taboo."
But looking at a photo album of his youth, he points to a photo of himself, aged 15, with a younger cousin: "I noticed that I felt attracted to her. She was around four.""

A Few Thoughts For Our Survivor Readers
July 15, 2012
Child sex abuse victims discuss moving on
"Ebensburg native’s book discusses priest’s misconduct
The public has been focused for months on Jerry Sandusky and Penn State's handling of his sordid activities with young boys. Now attention is moving to what happens next - focusing on the victims of child abuse and their healing.
Brian Gergely of Ebensburg is in the process of publishing a book about his experiences, "The Last Altar Boy." It is about his struggles to overcome the abuse he suffered as a child from the very priest who baptized him.
His book centers on "his journey to forgive."
Gergely calls his book "positive," saying it outlines his main theme -that it is possible to have a good life despite abuse that occurred so many years ago.
"It's a different route [to healing], instead of going to hell," Gergely, 42, said.
Gergely's message to the victims is that they are all young, and, with help, "The sky's the limit."
He said his life has been "a wild experience. ... At the beginning, it was the end. At the end it was the beginning."
Gergely's message is much the same as that from survivors Matt Bodenschatz, a Penn State student and spokesman for the Voices For Victims Campaign, and Christian Anderson, the president of MaleSurvivor of Washington, D.C.
Anderson said he is a survivor of abuse, but he said it took 20 years for him to talk about what happened and to deal with the issues.
If victims find the courage to speak up and get help, "it is possible for every survivor to heal," he said.
"It can take a lifetime to work through these issues. ... That's not to say you can't recover from it ... that you can't lead a successful life," he said Friday."
