Should I Care About Public Funding Of Lesbian Pr0N?

Of course, I as a red blooded male, should. And this, besides roads and the military, is a waste of taxpayer money of which I heartily approve. Meanwhile, some wet blanket in Sweden isn't as hip to this idea.

Although the market catering for women's sexuality is increasing, it is still limited {and I support expansion, and not just in my pants-ed}. There can be no doubt that the porn industry is dominated by men. It is therefore not the idea of developing the industry in favour of women that is upsetting – this is something that many women would welcome {as do I-ed} - it is the fact that it is happening with our tax money under the cloak of feminism {hey, tax money has been wasted for a snail dart, so why not waste it on something awesome for once?-ed}. By labeling lesbian sex as feminist, it also contributes to the prejudiced notion that the equality debate is all about excluding men and privileging women {wasn't it always?-ed}.

In my opinion, one of the main reasons the porn industry is male-dominated and not particularly attractive to women is that ‘regular’ porn movies often feature a great deal of sex between women {obviously, you have not been searching hard enough-ed}. Being heterosexual, it is not very exciting to watch {speak for yourself, toots. I as a heterosexual love seeing naked women making out-ed.}. Oddly, it seems to have the opposite effect on men {duh! Somebody needs to be smacked with the clue bat-ed}. Lesbian porn is far from the solution to creating a porn market that appeals to more women {who cares, so long as my boner is happy?-ed}. While it might very well broaden the market for people with different sexual orientations {heh. Broaden-ed}, it should not trade under the banner of feminism {I could handle that trade if it meant more lesbian pr0N for me-ed}.

Engberg's aim -- to make mainstream porn less mainstream, and complex rather than flat -- is definitely not something that the state should be paying for, regardless of whether it is lesbian or feminist porn. If the state was to sponsor alternative genres in every field just to create more options, the costs would soon be astronomical. Just because some of us don’t enjoy mainstream music like Britney Spears, which we maybe find flat and lacking in nuance, it doesn’t mean we should expect the state to fund underground metal music {yeah, but this is lesian pr0N, so we need to make some exceptions-ed}. In the same way, the fact that Mia Engberg doesn't like mainstream porn does not mean the state should sponsor feminist or lesbian porn {who cares? Mia Engberg should just shut up and let me masturbate to lesbian pr)N-ed}.

It’s not so long since Sweden’s Feminist Initiative received 400,000 kronor from the state to fund its educational programme. Soon afterwards, Engberg was given 500,000 for feminist porn {I need to get some of that money by filming lesbian pr0N in Sweden, I guess-ed}. You don’t have to be a genius to work out that feminism has earned a special status and has somehow been deemed deserving of people's tax money in order to fund everything from seminars to pornography {and I wholeheartedly support that status-ed}.

It’s saddening to see that respect for taxpayers’ money is almost non-existent {Wow. Concerned about taxpayers? Obviously a racist tea-bagger-ed}. While everyone is of course in favour of equality, there is no consensus that it can be achieved through feminism, or feminist pornography for that matter {if lesbian pr0N advances feminism, so be it-ed}. The fact that there is a woman wanting to make alternative porn for women, maybe even only involving women {your point being? I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome that clause is-ed}, does not make it any more deserving from a gender equity standpoint. Men do not get the same kind of sponsorship, and ‘male’ pornography is denied the status of art seemingly merited by ‘female’ porn {and I appreciate art, just so you know-ed}. Surely the question of whether you prefer the naked body of a man or a woman is very much a subjective matter {and if I can see 10 women for every guy, I'll take that trade-ed.}.

I know there is probably a serious issue debate in this story, but I'll ignore that for the opportunity to enjoy tax sponsored Swedish lesbian pr0N. See you in about eight seconds.
