We get a lot of people asking us what to do about it and how to deal with the problem. Whether you're a politician, a writer, a scientist, or an economist, when a man wants to shut you down, very often he will send pornography and he will send pornography that is explicit and violent. We need to be paying attention to that.
Pornography is never really created for children. It's supposed to be adult content. I find it highly problematic that we will regulate our children's diets and think about their nutrition, but are not openly having a discussion about this particular problem and what it means to throw people into this petri dish.
To me, that is almost different from the explicit use of pornography as a political weapon. If you look in the United States at Condoleezza Rice, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, or Michelle Obama, when you Google their names in porn, you get pages and pages of porn. When you Google their male partners, contemporaries, or peers you get pages and pages of their thoughts about porn. That's a radically different thing. When that many people are producing these images and they're being proliferated in the culture, and we don't think of it as a male supremacist political act, I think we just don't want to. It's right there in front of us. We can see it happening. That's a problem and I don't actually think it's a problem that can be legislated ultimately. It's a problem that has to be solved by educating children to understand equality, social justice, women's autonomy, and humanity.
