Q and A

Next weeks episode of Q and A (on Monday at 9.35 pm, ABC) features "anti-porn feminist" Gail Dines.

For a taste of what to expect, there is an article on The Age website which can be read here.

Dines writes that:

The man "makes hate" to the woman, as each sex act is designed to deliver the maximum amount of degradation. Whether it be aggressive fellatio or violent sodomy, the goal of porn sex is to illustrate how much power he has over her. Yet the women are still portrayed as enjoying these scenes. Images like these are commonplace on the internet and shape the way men think about sex, relationships and intimacy.

Following the article are a few hundred readers comments. I like this delightful one in particular:

"When you've got a penis and male libido maybe you'll have a viewpoint worth hearing"

*sigh*

At the very least, Gail Dines appearance on Q and A promises to be interesting. I'll certainly be watching.
