>In what might be deemed a radical move, The University of Melbourne's largest residential college banned access to pornography on campus.

>This means students at Ormond College will be blocked from accessing "adult sites" on Wi-Fi networks.

>The reason for this is straightforward. As college master Dr. Rufus Black stated, pornography is exploitative and "presents women primarily as sex objects who are a means to the end of male pleasure."

>While Black told Jill Stark at The Age that "allowing the college's 400 students to access porn on its network would be condoning the objectification of women," some students felt the ban limited "freedom of expression." Apparently, for men, facials are an art form.

Now watch as Tor adoption rates spike on campus.

doesn't this oppress - in a fascist way i might ad - those, who want to see gay porn? Worth a try, isn't it?

Given what passes for art these days they may as well.

I can't wait for the uncomfortable follow up article as numbers of rape skyrockets. I don't mean "He noticed I was female" pseudo-rape, I'm talking full on, face punched to a pulp rapings.

Uh-oh, looks like Dr. Black hasn't read "The Effects of Pornography: An International Perspective."

Sexual assaults are going to, if you'll excuse my pun, shoot up on that campus. Poor girls.

As an actual faggot, this was my first thought. How the fuck does my gay porn objectify women?

>everyone on campus starts having more sex


 No.531

Reminder that women's groups believe porn is exploitative because it depicts women having sex without being given anything in exchange. Women are the sellers of sex like a worker sells his labor, so if she is not paid (with treats, attention, etc) she is being "exploited". Availability of porn has also been shown to reduce the price of sex since demand for the real thing is slightly offset by the infinite supply of an essentially free substitute.

It's neither good or bad that all women are essentially prostitutes, it simply is. Find a price you're willing to pay for a woman that you like and enjoy it.

Or maybe everyone just gets around the blocks because they go to a place with thousands of computer nerds who all know 5 different ways to get around the pron blocks.

Blocking porn on campus actually makes sense.

Because it's a campus. The Wifi there is to be seen as a tool to assit with your studies, not for leisure.

Even if we were talking about public Wifi in some leisure space, it's still public space and it makes as much sense as watching porn on the library computers.

This was all that idiot actually had to say about this, "we are blocking porn because, while in campus, students should focus on their studies and not on their dicks". That's all he had to say.

And instead he made it about women. We-fucking-W.

As if the students don't have net back home, can see and download as much porn as they want or like this can even block Hongfire and similar places.

As if this does anything but put pussy in an even higher pedestal.

This is just a PR stunt, trying to look progressive. Like all SJW ideas, it achieves nothing, it solves nobody's problems but looks good on the papers.

Not only are they forgetting women watch porn too, gay people do so as well and campus wifi isn't the main source of porn for most people anyway.

I don't condone blocking porn in campus, I condone making it all about women and pretending that this is such an advancement for society.
