I agree with most of this article but noted the assertion that Pornhub has a new Ukrainian girls category. The substantiating link was to Julie’s article.
The Ukrainian situation is so utterly awful it doesn’t need the level of human depravity implied by such a thing.
Pornhub is easy to find. There is no such category. There is a search bar which returns results for Ukrainian as it does for Belgian, Spanish, Australian after which I couldn’t take any more.
There is more than enough to level at the human race, and men in particular if you so need, without making it up.
I made that point, as did someone else, on that article. Each comment was deleted. I’d go as far as to suggest that allegation is libellous.
I don’t care for that particular site, it’s certainly seedy, but making things up is not helping anyone’s cause.
Deleting comments pointing out factual inaccuracies with no explanation is disgraceful.
I made a comment on the Julie thread to the effect that we’re all looking into the abyss and focussing on one identity group, however deserving, felt inappropriate. It’s never come out of moderation so was presumably banned.
I’ve been patient with this, assuming an IT glitch. I’m starting to think we’ve got an Amy Challenor moderating.
This is how an intellectual castle in the air is built. Start with an article making a claim. No links, no evidence. Then, write another article, which builds on the claim. But you see, this new article has links and evidence… back to the original article. Now repeat, let the hyperlinks proliferate, and you have a socially constructed “fact”. Douglas Murray talks a bit about this in “The Madness of Crowds”.
Yes – the claim about pornhub seems to be another “this is just how depraved men are” claim. Certain authors seem to do this quite a lot. And if it’s done often enough some of it sticks.
It should have no place on Unherd. It is essentially a propaganda trick for leading the herd by its collective nose!
They are little more than marketing ploys to allow companies to signal their virtue whilst behind closed doors continue business as usual. To think otherwise is delusional.
Yes, agree. These international days and sometimes months are just a marketing ploy. I’m old enough to remember that around this time we had the International Women’s Day of Prayer. Wonder what happened to that?

Spare a thought for the real victims in this world: outraged feminists who suddenly realize that people don’t actually agree with their social engineering nonsense but are simply going along with the narrative of the day in order to generate business or avoid social media attacks. Can we please all try a little harder to pretend?

Until I see women campaigning for an “International Mens Day” I will never be able to accept that it is “equality” that is being sought.
Agreed. And I resent being lumped in to some sort of grievance group in need of a pat on the head because of my sex.

Ukrainian Girls is a new category on PornHub?
I’m surprised. I’ve been receiving a Ukrainian Girls email roughly once a month for a decade or more. I’ve concluded there must be a lot of hot Ukrainian females looking for a husband… or at least a husband with more money than your typical Ukrainian man.
I would have imagined they’d be on PornHub years ago.
Every year, I am faced with this dilemma. My wife is Russian and the holiday there has been celebrated seriously since Soviet times. I thus congratulate the author on raising the issue. I despise International Women’s Day for the reasons she has so cogently outlined. My wife, on the other hand, does not always agree.

International ……….. Day. Fill in the blank. There are 14 this month alone, most of which you have probably never heard of.

Oh that is good. I’m going to have tremendous fun looking through that site.

I heard on the radio this morning that, apparently, there are two million more females than males in Ukraine. Expect plenty more emails.
Still?
