Nordic Model Now!
39 posts todayGemma: an adult man is not allowed to show a child violent pornography - that would be an offence. Yet there is no accountability with corporations who do the same #NMNtalk
Nordic Model Now!
39 posts todayGemma: men and boys know why they don't want to end up in a prison shower. Misogyny and sexual violence is not from a place of ignorance #NMNtalk
Nordic Model Now!
39 posts todayMichael: I've seen how porn encourages boys to carry around a mental menu of sex acts, disconnected from individual people and this directly informs how they see girls and women #NMNtalk
Nordic Model Now!
39 posts todayGemma: to parents of sons, my advice is to check out Michael's work @MenAtWork_MC, books by Jackson Katz, comments by Robert Webb #NMNtalk
Nordic Model Now!
39 posts todayGemma: when you don’t talk to young girls about sexual violence, you’re not keeping them protected - you’re keeping them vulnerable #NMNtalk
Nordic Model Now!

Nordic Model Now!
39 posts todayMichael: it is in EVERYONE’S interest to facilitate a rational and evidence-based conversation about masculinity and male entitlement and how it hurts both young girls and boys. Porn tells boys this is what they should want from girls #NMNtalk

39 posts todayGemma: the UK will speak out again child brides and similar practices in other countries, but is silent on our own complicity. The UK is the 3rd highest consumer of child porn in the world. We are not exempt #NMNtalk
