The Feminist Porn Awards

You would have thought it was an April Fool but it is in fact genuine ... Article on feminist porn awards

The awards recognize sexually explicit films that fulfill at least two of three criteria: first, a woman is substantially involved with the making of the film; second, the film depicts genuine female pleasure; and third, it expands the range of sexual expression for women by telling us something new about female sexuality. Categories range from Hottest Group Sex Scene to Hottest Diverse Cast to Hottest Trans Sex Scene; winning filmmakers and performers travel to Toronto from across North America to accept butt plug-shaped trophies.

Cause it's easier to fly,
There's a place that never dies in the southern sun,
Cause your love is on the run,
Let me out,
Set me free

Re: The Feminist Porn Awards

So is the next meet up going to be a load of beer, some pizzas and a ton of feminist porn? ;)

3 years and four months after the last meet up I have rather given up on that idea Dave.

Pornography is an issue that has truely divided the feminist movement. Some believe that is a degrdation of women and others that censorship of any kind is wrong. So some feminists try to validate pornography as women being in control of themselves and portraying womens' sexuality. These are most likely to be the group behind these awards.

Re: The Feminist Porn Awards

I think you are right Wobbly and I have come across (pardon the pun) some feminist writers and bloggers who are trying to reclaim some feminist ground within the realm of pornography.

Re: The Feminist Porn Awards

From Ab Fab, that debate summed up in two lines:

Saffy (peering over Patsy's shoulder at a porn mag) It's disgusting and degrading.

Patsy: Well, she's the one holding the whip.
