"The concept of a continuum of violence reveals that violence is a very real part of every woman’s life. The forms of violence that occur most frequently are not conceptualized as violent or abusive or even unusual by most women, however. In fact, they are viewed as normal male behaviour."

"When people deplore sexism and racism but make allowances for their proliferations in pornography, pornography has achieved its aim: the creation of acceptance for materials that publicly practise and advertise the hatred and domination of women of colour."
Joyce Wu, Not a Fantasy: Racial Hatred and Misogyny in Pornography (via dagseoul)
"Bart (1983; Bart and O’Brien 1985) has identified a heterosexual sex-rape continuum. At one end is consensual sex (both parties equally desire sex). At the other is rape. In between are altruistic sex (one party submits out of guilt, duty, or pity) and compliant sex (one party submits because the consequences of not submitting are worse than those of submitting). Using Bart’s conceptualization, Kelly found that most women “felt pressured to have sex in many, if not all, of their sexual relationships with men” (p.56). Yet she found that women perceived sex as coercive only when physical force or the threat of physical force was used."
