Articles
Just a couple AlterNet articles I want to keep handy, so I'm posting them here mostly for my own reference.
Porn's Dangerous, Dirty Secret - There are a finite number of ways that human bodies can fit together. So pornmakers resort to sexualizing degradation to stay "cutting edge." (This article ends a bit scare-mongery for me, but I think it has some interesting content.)
Caveman Sex: How Evolutionary Psych Pushes Sexist Stereotypes - The watered-down evolutionary psychology prevalent in pop culture enables some men to rationalize sexist double standards about relationships. (It also encourages women to assume that "all men are interested in is sex", etc; hearing this from my friends/family is one of my biggest pet peeves. A patriarchal society pushes stereotypes that are harmful to men as well.)
