I’ve been seeing a lot going around about @sophiegilbert.bsky.social’s new book. As an historian of sex work, I’m really interested! But she also fully BLAMED PORN for MRAs, anti-trans rhetoric, and the persecution of immigrants. (I would love to see @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social read this…)
Quote from an Atlantic interview. The pertinent section quotes the author of an upcoming book. “Sophie Gilbert: One of the specific things I’m noticing now is the mainstreaming of really ugly, regressive treatment in politics and mainstream culture—not just of women but of immigrants, gay people, trans people. There’s a resurgence of the kind of offensive and dehumanizing behavior that we saw in popular culture during the 2000s, and this time it’s not being doled out by gossip bloggers and celebrity commentators, but by politicians and people with massive media platforms. And my theory for why it’s happening is that certain kinds of porn have inured so many people to cruelty.”
