Courtney (author) does NOT believe men ought to transcend masculinity. I do. She also thinks it's too extreme of Jensen to say that "we live in a world that hates women".
It's frustrating when "feminists" choose not to look at violence against women. She even said at the beginning of the piece that she "avoided thinking about... pornography".
Estela: Thanks for the note and the support. I read that review, and it was a strange one. But I’m used to that.
here's an excerpt of the book that i find to be indicative of the core problems of pornstituters. here, jensen is quoting a "veteran of the pornography industry":
I'd like to really show what I believe the men want to see: violence against women. I firmly believe that we serve a purpose by showing that. The most violent we can get is the cum shot in the face. Men get off behind that, because they get even with the women they can't have. We try to inundate the world with orgasms in the face. (pg 69-70)
the most serious problems our culture faces in the mirror that is pornography is the intent of violence against women. regardless of what 'type' of porn is consumed, this is the underlying concept that pornographer$ are u$ing.
porn does not equal sex.
