The gaze has been a man&#8217;s gaze and female sexuality has been limited to a few identities that have suited the patriarchal system (and the male artistic ego): whore, wife, mother, muse.<br \/>\n&#8230;<br \/>\nWe have been faced with many questions. Is there a female sexuality that can be differentiated from its male counterpart and, if so, what does it look like? Is it possible to be subject and object at the same time? How can we liberate our own sexual imagination from the commercial images we see every day and that seep into our subconscious minds?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelocal.se\/21870\/20090903\/\" target=\"blank\">some people have objected<\/a> to the film. They&#8217;ve taken exception to the use of public money to fund the project and also have a problem with it being approved because it&#8217;s feminist. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Art is subjective. For the state to decide that feminist porn is art but \u2018regular\u2019 porn is reprehensible is little more than paternalistic moralising and sends out all the wrong signals in the equality debate. Equality is an important issue, but it should never function as a cloak for state funding of ideologies that are somehow deemed correct in the eyes of the authorities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh, what I wouldn&#8217;t give to have public funding and the subsequent abuse. In Australia we could go to jail just for MAKING feminist porn.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, I welcome yet another addition to the growing pantheon of feminist porn and I can&#8217;t wait to see <em>Dirty Diaries<\/em>. Will try and review it soon.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week sees the premiere of Dirty Diaries, a new feminist porn film helmed by filmmaker Mia Engberg.
