Dines also demonstrated how violent pornography is against women by showing only a small slice of what internet pornography has to offer. The names of the Websites spoke of their subject matter for themselves. Many members of the audience gasped upon the subject matter of these sites.
Dines said many women in the pornography industry suffer from a range of medical problems, such as gonorrhea of the eye, gonorrhea of throat, along with tears in the vagina, anus and throat.
Other members of the audience said they were greatly affected by what Dines said.
"I'm having a nice long talk with my brother," said Tess Bird, a 5th semester women's studies major.
In order to fight the pornography industry and "detoxify" society from these negative images, Dines urged women and men alike to start a new wave of feminism.
"Feminism gives us the tool to have these conversations," said Kathy Fischer, the associate director of the UConn Women's Center.
Fischer also highly encouraged men to participate in feminism.

the problem does not seem to be the women as much as the
demand for such material abounds.
A new feminism would serve perhaps to raise awareness.
The fundamental problem is the curruption of how human sexuality has been distorted even currupted. (Continued…)

What about all of the porn that literature contains?
In my experiences it is mostly women that take part that medium.
I find it funny but that stuff can actually be more 'hardcore' than any visual porn shoot. (Continued…)
