- Sex dolls and robots are an expression of woman hating. Don't take my word for it - listen to what men have to say, in their own words... 🧵
- *Content warning* Child sex abuse doll sellers are offering to customise replica girl sex dolls based on photos supplied by customers. This means men can send in photos of *real children* and a doll complete with penetrable vagina, mouth & anus will be made in their likeness 🧵
- "Kink shaming" is a concept invented to transform male violence against women into a special protected category free from critical analysis. Who benefits from this idea that acts of male violence, degradation, abuse and hatred acted out on the bodies of women is merely a "kink"?

- 'Pornography does not merely depict violence against women, it is violence against women. Real women are subjected to acts of degradation, violence, and harm in the production of this content (Tankard Reist & Bray, 2011). 'As feminist legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon noted,
- "Do we really think that making a hyper-realistic ‘woman’ available 24/7 for a man to customise, design and control completely without any ability for her to consent is a good idea?"
- "There's nothing feminist about telling people what they can and can't do with their bodies of their own free will.” This is a terrible argument to apply to surrogacy – here’s why 🧵
