21st-Jun-2007 03:21 pm - Australia to ban alcohol for Aborigines

By ROD McGUIRK, Associated Press Writer

Australia's prime minister announced plans Thursday to ban pornography and alcohol for Aborigines in northern areas and tighten control over their welfare benefits to fight child sex abuse among them.

Some Aboriginal leaders rejected the plan as paternalistic and said the measures were discriminatory and would violate the civil rights of the country's original inhabitants. But others applauded the initiative and recommended extending the welfare restrictions to Aborigines in other parts of the country.

Prime Minister John Howard was responding to a report last week that found sexual abuse of children to be rampant in indigenous communities in the Northern Territory. The report said the abuse was fueled by endemic alcohol abuse, unemployment, poverty and other factors causing a breakdown in traditional society.

"This is a national emergency," Howard told Parliament. "We're dealing with a group of young Australians for whom the concept of childhood innocence has never been present."

Aborigines banned from using booze & porn

I kind of thought we (in terms of colonizing governments) were beyond these types of paternalistic actions.  Yes, this may be a serious issue, but aren't there better ways of dealing with it???
15th-Sep-2006 03:49 pm - 'Dissing' men is the new sexism.
[info]gaelfarce

Feminism has drawn attention to and fought against stereotypical and sexist portrayals of women in mass media, but new research shows that media portrayals of gender have largely done an about face in the past decade or so. There is a new “gender war” and the main target of discrimination is no longer women, according to research - it is men.

Gender studies have claimed that mass media portrayals and images are key influences that both reflect and shape society’s views of women and women’s self-identity. As well as attacking obvious sexist media portrayals such as page three girls and “girlie” magazines, feminists have challenged objectification, marginalisation, trivialisation and other negative portrayals of women in movies, advertising, TV drama and other media content. Their argument that such portrayals are damaging have won support from legislators and from many media professionals including film makers, advertising producers and editors.

2nd-Dec-2005 03:16 am - Porn 'does not make sex objects'

By Vera Devai, November 24, 2005

AN Australian study has cast doubt on the commonly held view that pornography shows women as nothing more than sex objects.
The study, to be published in the noted international Journal of Sex Research, analysed 50 of the bestselling pornographic videos in Australia to find out whether people were represented as sex objects.

Queensland University Professor Alan McKee, who led the study, said researchers compared the way women and men were represented in each video.

They noted such things as who initiated the sex, whose pleasure was paid attention to, whether people in the videos got to speak about what they wanted during sex and whose perspective the videos were presented from.

4th-Nov-2005 07:29 am - Pornography
girl holding skull
[info]aithne
Does porn exist outside of western society? And if so, in what sense? How does it depict the culture? For example... we learned in our anthropology class that breasts are not seen as sexual object in some cultures. (In Africa for instance) And that when women were interviewed in Mali, they were highly shocked/amused that men viewed breasts this way and that they would physically suck/kiss them.

Just thinking. Any feedback?
