Policing pornography: how Labour is trying to criminalise sexual entertainment - and our desires The myth that sexual desire is vulgar, and that good girls don’t engage with pornography, is a key element of patriarchal standards

The new porn review has been out for 18 days, and the response has been mostly positive. But Im really worried about what will happen next if the recommendations get implemented.
We've seen attempts to draw lines between good & bad porn before, and it doesnt go well.

It depends on the grounds of the complaint from students I guess.
If the complaint is with what Universities did, it's absolutely justified. Staff and students alike were treated terribly.
If the complaint is what lecturers as workers provided, then it's grossly unfair.

Unpopular opinion probably but I really don't resent students claiming lost learning during the early stages of the ongoing pandemic.
Bosses screwed over both students and staff. We all were (/are) put in danger, messed about with constant changes in expectations, and overworked.

Thank you so much Aidan! I always find your work very valuable and persuasive even where we end up diverging. Hope to make your talk in Sheffield in May!

Should pornography be authentic? Some people think so, and partly because they think this would make it better ethically rather than just, well, better. Rosa Vince disagrees!

Objectification and sexualisation - submission deadline: 4th of August

Objectification is a core concept in feminist thought, often used for articulating what is going wrong in phenomena like catcalling, sexist advertising, and unwelcome sexual attention. At the same time, treating one another as sexual agents, even sexual objects, has been defended as an often important and joyful part of life. Both concepts have seen a recent resurgence in discussions of newer forms online content-creation, from TikTok to OnlyFans.

We are interested in hearing about any new work on sexualisation and objectification. We welcome contributions on questions such as (but not limited to): What is the difference between sexualisation and objectification? How do we sexualise and objectify others - is it a kind of paying attention? How does this work? What is the relationship, if any, between dehumanisation and objectification? When is objectification benign or good? Is it ever wrong to not sexualise someone? What is the relationship between sexual and non-sexual objectification? Is it possible for a person to objectify themselves? What is the impact of social media on objectification and/or sexualisation?

This event is organised by philosophers, but we welcome applications from those working in other disciplines too. Talks will be 30 minutes, with 15 minutes for questions. This will be an in-person event, but we aim to provide provision for speakers who cannot travel to join us online.

Are you working on sexualisation or objectification? Come share your research at our December workshop!

Not the most pressing aspect of this of course, but them describing the dog as having "fled the scene" is spectacular, like this dog is a jewel thief on the run or something
