Not sure if you've all seen this video, but it's extremely well made. I suggest taking the half hour out to watch it, and pass it on

Great video. Yes, will link it and pass it on. Thank you so much, Kate!

wonderful

Definitely watch this one! So many powerful stories and insights... The one that really hit me was Gunilla Eckberg talking about how we need to view women in prostitution (& thereby also porn) as our sisters. And that what happens to them affects all of us. The message going out is "See? These women can be abused in whatever way is demanded!" The fallout from that message shortens to "...Women (in general) can be abused in whatever way is demanded." Being women in our porn culture means just being sitting ducks for whatever abusive men want to do with us. Isn't that just "normal" good ol' boy thinking? Helping to change that mindset is my goal. I picture a world in which a guy would be really embarrassed to admit that mindset, and realize he needed some serious help to change it. It's amazing to see how the demand for prostitution has nose-dived in Sweden. Progress is just a matter of time and effective effort.

Thanks for the tip.

A half hour well spent. I need to go back and memorize it all. THanks, KtG
