Pornografia raneste

Unul dintre cele mai bizare materiale pe care le-am citit ieri. Este un studiu sponsorizat de UNICEF privind „drepturile copiilor în era digitală și accesul la internet”.

Lung de peste 50 de pagini, articolul încearcă să ne convingă, pe baza unor studii occidentale (doar nu din țările sărace!) că vizualizarea pornografiei ar fi un lucru bun pentru copiii. Conform autorului, 3% din copiii care vizualizează pornografie în Lituania declară că sunt „fericiți” ca urmare a vizualizării pornografiei, și un procent de 38% simt la fel în Spania. În concluzie, provoacă autorul, de ce să restricționăm accesul copiilor la pornografie online?

Iată paragraful șocant: „From a rights perspective, extreme care would be needed to avoid excluding children from sexual and reproductive health information online: sexuality education, including resources for LGBTQ education, may be categorized as pornography in some contexts. Finally, it is questionable whether age assurances tools are an appropriate response to pornography that depicts extreme violence or violence against women, both of which can arguably be considered harmful for viewers of all ages”.

Tradus, „Din perspectiva drepturilor omului, o foarte mare grijă trebuie avută pentru a preveni excluderea copiilor de la accesarea informațiilor de pe internet privind sănătatea sexuală și reproductivă: educația sexuală, inclusiv resurse pentru educația LGBT, care pot fi etichetate pornografie în anumite contexte. Este îndoielnic că restricțiile motivate de vârstă constituie un răspuns potrivit la adresa pornografiei care portretizează violența și violența împotriva femeilor, ambele fiind de fapt considerate ca vătămătoare pentru toate categoriile de vârstă”.

Retoric întreb: la ce mai folosește UNICEF? Cei care încă mai cred în necesitatea educației sexuale în școlile României au fost atenționați din nou.

From a predator to a protector

A few years ago, one of my pastors told me, “Men tend to become one of two things: a predator of women or a protector of women.” Again and again, I’ve seen this statement proved right — not just in others’ lives but also in my own life. Catalyzed by porn and masturbation, I preyed on women almost every day for years. Starting more than ten years ago, however, the trajectory of my life changed so drastically that now I strive to protect them.

It didn’t happen all at once. But it got started much faster than I ever would have guessed, after just 40 days. In more than a decade of freedom since then, this passion has grown to the degree that I would never have thought possible.

Interview by ANA MARIE COX

In 2015, you produced a documentary about young pornography performers, ‘‘Hot Girls Wanted,’’ that was eventually turned into a new Netflix documentary series. But in 2013, you wrote a pretty strident essay in Glamour against the ‘‘pornification’’ of everything, where you recount using the hashtag #stopactinglikewhores, in regard to the mainstreaming of, say, V-strings and stripper poles. What changed? I was impulsive. Being old isn’t a good excuse for it, but using the word ‘‘whore’’ was absolutely not appropriate. I didn’t even know what ‘‘slut shaming’’ meant at the time, and I have educated myself. But that was sort of the beginning of my relationship with all this work — I wanted to see if my feelings had any validity in the real world, or if I was just being close-minded. Read more
