<td class="snippet">Refusal to give the tool of literacy is refusal to give access to the world. If she can make her own fire, read a book herself, write a letter or a record of her thoughts or an essay or a story, it will be harder to get her to tolerate the unwanted fuck, to bear the unwanted children, to see him as life and life through him. She might get ideas. But even worse, she might know the value of the ideas she gets. She must not know that ideas have value, only that being fucked and reproducing are her value.</td>

It is normal.<br>Over a third of all women worldwide have experienced physical and/or sexual violence (not including sexual harassment) at some point in their lives. One hundred and thirty-seven women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day.</td>

<td class="snippet">Isn't there something incredibly depressing about designing a whole new world and not being ambitious enough when it comes to women's safety to aim a little bit higher in the first place? Just like women-only train carriages, rape alarms, and anti-rape underwear, all we are met with are hundreds of drearily repetitive, victim-blaming "inventions" that reinforce again and again the societal notion that women should be on the alert constantly - constantly responsible for their own safety. Wouldn't it be nice to dream of a virtual world in which hypervigilance isn't taken as a given at the ground floor?</td>

<td class="snippet">The messages that porn disseminates about women can be boiled down to a few essential characteristics: they are always ready for sex and are enthusiastic to do whatever men want, irrespective of how painful, humiliating, or harmful the act is. The word "no" is glaringly absent from porn women's vocabulary. These women seem eager to have their orifices stretched to full capacity and sometimes beyond, and indeed, the more bizarre and degrading the act, the greater the supposed sexual arousal for her. The women who wander through this world are, whether they know it or not, all whores by nature, as they all have a price, often as low as a few bucks (as in "Every bitch will suck cock for a few dollars" or "This slut will do anything for rent money"). Even though these women love to be fucked, they seem to have no sexual imagination of their own: what they want always mirrors what the man wants. This may explain why women in porn spend enormous amounts of time giving men oral sex, yet they rarely expect or demand reciprocity. Actually, the only demands they seem to make involve asking the man to thrust harder and harder.</td>
