These people are downright evil, they operate exactly like a CULT!
It is just horrific how they treat girls and women, literally blaming them for everything, women are 100% set up for failure. Women are not allowed to tell men/ husbands no, and when they do acquiesce then they are dirty sluts. We have breasts to feed newborn babies that they want us to have, but we are evil for having them because men are turned on by them. That is a problem with the MAN!!
It really should be illegal what they're doing, how they are teaching young boys and girls. I would like to see lawsuits against these churches by women that were harmed; emotional distress, pain and suffering.
They certainly warp people. The remarks from the football kicker are proof of that. He’s a shining example of how they teach people to think and behave.
I notice that text only depictions (vanilla cishet non oral) don't seem to be mentioned. I wonder if it never occurred to them that there's erotic literature, or if they're scared of the consequences if they confiscate their wives' bodice rippers.
Descriptions encompasses the written word. Many banned books are banned due to descriptions, not images. My favorite smutty romances would be porn. Absolutely. And I don’t call them smutty to diminish them. I’m a huge fan of those writers and that genre. They are an escape for me and many other readers.
I mean, there's a reason I know what's in them; I judge neither the book nor the reader, and if I came across as denigrating them, I apologize. They can be a great escape, and goodness knows I've read my share. The ones I read are often sapphic, doubly banned.
No no no. You didn’t come across that way at all. I call them smutty and some people take that as demeaning. I was trying to make clear I am pro-smut.
Women writers in general and romance writers in particular struggle against this “not serious writing” classification. Like only men can write “serious” or “literary” or “valuable” books. 90-something percent of the books I read are by women. I value that work and enthusiastically support it with money.
Oh boy, I can only guess. I borrowed the line from Chinatown (which I always mention with the caveat that yes, Polanski is problematic, but he's a damn good filmmaker too). Jack Nicholson's character Jake encounters one of the goons, named Claude, at the water utility office and asks what he's doing there.
Claude: "They shut my water off."
Jake: "How'd you find out? You don't drink it. You don't take a bath in it. They must've sent you a letter. But then you'd have to know how to read."

Yeah but then they'd have to know how to read.
I have such a story about this. Not appropriate for P2025 but maybe an essay.

Please do share, if it is ever written?
