Rebecca Whisnant, prolific anti porn activist and author, lead an Object organised 'Stop Porn Culture' workshop on Saturday.
Rebecca flew all the way from the USA to lend us the combined experiences and information gathered over time working against the ever pervasive porn culture in main stream society. It was an excellent session with activists, students, those working against porn for almost forever and those new to the concept that it might not be the most fun industry in the world, there were even men in attendance.
Amongst the conversations we looked at the new Stop Porn Culture slideshow - It’s Easy Out Here for a Pimp: How a Porn Culture Grooms Kids for Sexual Exploitation - which can be used by any anti porn activists, with friends and family to a whole rooms of interested strangers. We also looked at the semantics of patriarchy, opression, porn and choice and role played putting our best thoughts forward in a Q&A session - which sounds awful, but is really always awfully fun.
