123. I wish people would stop equating criticism of porn with a desire to censor or ban
There are very few feminists who call for an outright ban on porn. Those of us who speak out against it are trying to point out how the mainstream pornography that is being widely consumed perpetuates a disturbing view of sex and relationships. It doesn't matter how much you try to insist that you're not for banning anything, you're still going get outraged accusations of trying to take away someone's free speech. Please. I figure things like porn and Fox News are the price we pay for having free speech.

I also hate the way porn is equated with sex. They are not the same things.
