The &ldquo;pornification&rdquo; scare that European press is currently touting as &ldquo;fact&rdquo;, coincidentally (or not), mostly coming out of the ideology factory that is the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rupert_Murdoch\">Murdoch empire<\/a> (Sky News, The Sun, The Times &amp; The Sunday Times) is neither innocent nor does it have women&rsquo;s best interests in mind. That Murdoch and his press minions insist on presenting us with seemingly unbiased news of this &ldquo;pornification&rdquo; is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/media\/2010\/aug\/17\/rupert-murdoch-donation-republicans\">same ideological machinery that has just donated U$D 1 million to the Republican party<\/a> (the same people leading a movement to restrict as many reproductive and sexual rights as possible, aligned with extreme right Christian groups whose views on sexuality and diversity are amongst the least progressive found in the Western world).<\/p>\n<p>All these supposedly feminist organizations like Object might operate under the belief that they represent the feminist movement but in reality, they are being used as a tool to further an agenda of restrictions and further control by the same people they claim to oppose. Unlikely allies, indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pornification: Kat Banyard And Natasha Walters Call For Change In UK Law To Cut Out Mass Pornography Two female authors are campaigning for a change in the law to stop the &ldquo;pornification&rdquo; of society which they say promotes violence against women.
