    Porn Literacy Classes

    Do you remember when I highlighted Gail Dines's proposal that schools launch porn education classes to counter the modern development of online porn having become the de facto sex education that the youth receive, @Dr. Who (or anyone)? Well high school porn literacy classes are now a real thing and these courses may well begin to spread to many schools across the United States!

    As detailed in the linked article, extensive study has revealed that the main thing younger generations are learning about sex from growing up in a pornography-saturated cultural environment is that there are supposed to be clear gender roles involved, where the man is abusively dominant and the woman submissive to the point of enduring constant pain and suffering; that that's just how sex is, how it's supposed to be, that women enjoy being physically abused and controlled by men. That that's the main lesson the kids are getting from it doesn't shock me one bit.

    To judge by the considerable success of the counter-narrative provided by the sampled porn literacy course (detailed in the article), I think that the proliferation of these classes would be a step in the right direction, but also kind of a pitifully defeatist one. For right now, we are just accepting the premise that pornography has to be in circulation and that its consumption is as inevitable as sex itself despite the fact that barely 15 years ago, just 14% of Americans consumed pornographic material routinely, and fewer before that. But maybe a better-educated generation of Americans will be able to eventually figure out otherwise. *sighs* Baby steps, I guess.

    I checked with our local HS. There is no such class.

    This is all happening because President Donald Trump is allowing the Russians to control our school boards

    Sounds like another excuse to sexualize kids at a young age. Liberals always assume people are too stupid to figure things out on their own, and always seek to remove parents from the equation.

    Don't knock porn. Faithful men ( for some reason) with post menapausal untreated selfish wives need an outlet. Not all porn in domineering or offensive. It's like anything else there are different kinds and what about abusive domimatrixes? And no shortage of willing actors and actresses

    Porn isn't going anywhere for better or worse.

    Anyone who thinks porn mimicks real sex is a $#@!ing idiot. That goes for minors who watch porn as well. If their is a problem, it's an iq and awarness problem.
