University of Wisconsin Madison students could learn about “violence prevention” by watching “feminist ethical porn.”
However, the public university took down the specific module from its webinar series after inquiries from The Madison Federalist, an upstart publication run by College Fix reporter Benjamin Rothove.
He reported:
SexWIse, part of the GetWIse program for undergraduate students, is an online module “designed by UHS Violence Prevention professional staff and student Peer Educators.”
The lesson includes a discussion of pornography and says that “there’s nothing inherently wrong with using porn.”
“For a lot of people, it’s fun and sexy. It can also be a way to learn about different kinds of sex and/or explore your identity. This can be especially true for those with marginalized sexual identities who may not have as many safe, affirming spaces in which to explore their sexuality.”
The module says, “Fortunately, there is greater availability than ever of feminist, ethical porn.”
“Feminist ethical porn is made in a way that is respectful of workers, celebrates diverse bodies and relationships, portrays consent as an essential part of the process, and represents expansive sexual possibilities.”
The campus College Republicans criticized the training.
“A course designed to help prevent sexual violence at UW-Madison would be welcomed. Unfortunately, SexWIse was tainted by its distracting and obscene content,” the group told the publication. “We are happy that the module has been taken down, and we hope that the university produces a better sexual violence prevention course.”
