Not Sure How to Tell If a Sex Shop Is Feminist? Here Are 8 Questions to Ask
http://everydayfeminism.com/2015/04/sex-shop-feminist-questions/?utm_source=Everyday+Feminism+Subscription&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=8c3d700901-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_d19c2176ed-8c3d700901-91519153

With trash skittering across the pavement, broken bottles everywhere, and instructions to only enter in back (a pun that’ll never be lost on me), one thing was clear: These places would make me regret going in.

Why? Because they were for men only. And manly men, at that.
. . .
The sex industry as a whole still seems to view sex as a (straight, white, cis) man’s thing. And with such a narrow focus, branches such as shops tend to ignore all other identities. It’s a frustratingly stunting business practice.

Their products, magazines, and DVDs often cater exclusively to cis-penis pleasure and the objectifying male gaze, including the problematic (ranging from insulting representations of trans women to perpetuations of rape culture – which, by the way, is different from consensual rape playacting).

Personally, I shop Adam & Eve or just drugstore.com for our needs in that department. I like to read the reviews.

11. Have you ever ventured north on 75 and seen the big cross by the porn store?
My husband never fails to ask me if I want to stop, LOL.

19. The sex shop closest to my house is mainly geared towards couples.

They've got an abnormally large strap-on section as well, which leads me to believe that the bulk of their business is from women.

22. I just look for the fat chicks.

If you see fat chicks going in and out...it's a feminist sex shop.
If you see no chicks at all, it's for the guys.

Bottom line: Most such shops are out of business, and the others are online. The question is moot.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is uncivil, off-topic, offensive, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Offensive stereotyping of both feminists and overweight people.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of Discussionist members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 1, 2015, 05:58 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Gotta get past these stupid allegations of "racism", "homophobia", and general butthurt.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a joke get over it....i verglas?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: In context of the entire thread....nah.
Don't be so sensitive.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Feminists here need to relax. There's nothing wrong with that post. This isn't DU.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I have always heard that fat girls are the best in bed, because being fat they have to do things like oral and anal to keep guys interested. Whereas the thin and attractive ones can be prudes and get away with it because of their looks.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I neither confirm nor deny that I am Gunslinger201, or that I was Juror #6, but both were well-played.

Import the whole thread over to DU.
That should initiate a chain reaction.
