I'm 75 years old. Since retiring from medical practice 6 years ago, I've had almost non-existant contact with young people. I had no idea the extent to which violent digital pornography has penetrated and saturated their world. No wonder girls are opting out of being girls! Your piece is indeed outstanding. Thank you.

This is an outstanding piece. I was radicalized into Marxian feminism in college (early 1990s) and was getting sucked into gay porn, but my anti-porn feminist friends, and reading Andrea Dworkin, "rescued me." My journey out was riddled with challenges and I have a tale to tell to these young girls ... there is hope. I am now 50, happily married, recently retired from law practice, and in a doctoral program in Christian apologetics. Thank you for your work.

I would argue this is an *extrapolation* of the girl-boss (who must abort her children to keep her career). Women were sold a bill of goods being told abortion is a "woman's right". In fact, it's secretly a "man's right" to have sex without having to provide for babies. (So is homosex, by the way).

All this violent porn is aimed at men, so the gap in willing partners for being choked etc. will be filled in by ... men. Dressed as women. Women will opt out of being women, at least the smart ones will, and men can have at it with each other. It's either a nightmare scenario or a utopian one, depending on your perspective.
